Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi-Urdu Lyrics:
maa hai muhabbat ka naam,
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR LOVE,
maa hai muhabbat ka naam,
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR LOVE,
maa ko hazaaro.n salaam,
THOUSAND GREETINGS TO MOTHER,
kar de fida zindagee, aaye jo bachcho.n ke kaam,
IF NEEDED, SHE’D SACRIFICE HER LIFE FOR CHILDREN,
maa hai muhabbat ka naam,
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR LOVE,
maa ko hazaaro.n salaam...
THOUSAND GREETINGS TO MOTHER...
Ha.ns ke uThaaye gham,
SHE GLADLY SUFFERS THE SORROW,
baiThe naa haar ke ho,
DOESN’T ACCEPT DEFEAT,
paale zamaane ko voh,
SHE NURTURES THE WORLD,
apne ko maar ke ho,
BY PRACTISING SELF-DENIAL,
Bhook miTaaye sadaa,
SHE ALWAYS SATIATES HUNGER,
pyaas bujhaaye sadaa,
SHE EVER QUENCHES THE THIRST,
pyaar luTaaye sadaa,
SHE ALWAYS SQUANDERS LOVE,
maange naa qeemat naa daam,
WITHOUT DEMANDING ANY COSTS OR PRICE,
maa hai muhabbat ka naam,
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR LOVE,
maa ko hazaaro.n salaam....
THOUSAND GREETINGS TO MOTHER...
Uss ke qadam chhoonaa, dunya kee shaan hai haa.n,
TO TOUCH HER FEET, IS THE GLORY FOR THE WORLD, YES!
hamm ko mila hai jo bhee, mamta ka daan hai haa.n,
WHATEVER WE’VE ACHIEVED IS THE GIFT OF MOTHERLY LOVE, YES!
baagh lagaati hai maa,
MOTHER CULTIVATES THE GARDEN,
phool khilaatee hai maa,
MOTHER CAUSES THE FLOWER TO BLOOM,
vipdaa uThaatee hai maa,
MOTHER BEARS THE MISERY,
detee hai khushiyaa.n tamaam,
BESTOWS ALL THE JOYS
maa hai muhabbat ka naam,
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR LOVE,
maa ko hazaaro.n salaam...
THOUSAND GREETINGS TO MOTHER...
chaahe bhikaaran ho,
A BEGGAR SHE MAY BE,
Khaali ho haath bhee haa.n,
EVEN EMPTY HANDED, YES!
maa toh rahegee maa,
MOTHER WILL BE A MOTHER,
koee ho zaat bhee haa.n,
WHATEVER THE CASTE BE, YES!
mamtaa kee chhaao.n tale,
UNDER THE SHADE OF MOTHERLY AFFECTION,
Deep hazaaro.n jale,
KINDLE THOUSANDS OF LAMPS,
god me.n uss kee pale
TENDERLY NURTURED IN HER LAPS
saare rishee sab imaam.
ALL SAGES AND RELIGIOUS HEADS,
maa hai muhabbat ka naam,
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR LOVE,
maa ko hazaaro.n salaam,
THOUSAND GREETINGS TO MOTHER,
kar de fidaa zindagee, Aaye jo bachcho.n ke kaam,
IF NEEDED, SHE’D SACRIFICE HER LIFE FOR CHILDREN,
maa hai muhabbat ka naam,
MOTHER IS THE NAME FOR LOVE,
maa ko hazaaro.n salaam.
THOUSAND GREETINGS TO MOTHER.
NASIR.
All I am, I owe to my mother - George Washington, First U.S. President.
