o mere pyaro zameen ke taro
o mere pyaro zameen ke taro
jana tumhe hai kaha o gaadi wale le chal uda ke
maiya hamari jaha le chal tu hamko vaha
o mere pyaro zameen ke taro le jaunga main vaha

kajal laga ke lori suna ke humko sulati thi maa
pyaar se jhum ke mukhde ko chumke humko jagati thi maa
khadi akeli baat nihare maiya hamari jaha
le chal tu hamko vaha
o mere pyaro zameen ke taro le jaunga main vaha

kehna na maana humne jo maa ka humko rulati thi maa
khilaune deke pappi leke humko hasati thi maa
khadi akeli baat nihare maiya hamari jaha
le chal tu hamko vaha
o mere pyaro zameen ke taro le jaunga main vaha

hum ruth jate aansu bahate humko manati thi maa
god me bithake laddu khilake humko rijhati thi maa
khadi akeli baat nihare maiya hamari jaha
le chal tu hamko vaha
o mere pyaro zameen ke taro le jaunga main vaha
o gaadi wale le chal uda ke maiya hamari jaha
le chal tu hamko vaha
o mere pyaro zameen ke taro le jaunga main vaha

Oh, my darlings, stars of earth,
Oh, my darlings, stars of earth,
Where must you journey, oh, charioteer, lift us and take us?
To where our mother waits, take us there.
Oh, my darlings, stars of earth, I'll take you there.

With kohl-lined eyes, she'd sing us lullabies, and lull us to sleep, our mother.
With love, she'd sway, and kiss our faces, and awaken us, our mother.
Alone she stands, gazing, waiting, where our mother is,
Take us there.
Oh, my darlings, stars of earth, I'll take you there.

We disobeyed, and our mother wept for us, our mother.
She'd give us toys, and kiss us, and make us laugh, our mother.
Alone she stands, gazing, waiting, where our mother is,
Take us there.
Oh, my darlings, stars of earth, I'll take you there.

We'd sulk and weep, and she'd console us, our mother.
She'd seat us on her lap, and feed us sweets, and appease us, our mother.
Alone she stands, gazing, waiting, where our mother is,
Take us there.
Oh, my darlings, stars of earth, I'll take you there.
Oh, charioteer, lift us and take us, to where our mother waits,
Take us there.
Oh, my darlings, stars of earth, I'll take you there.
