IF WE RECEIVE THAT MOTHER'S BLESSINGS, 

Mit jaaye andheraa, aaye saweraa,
DARKNESS WILL TERMINATE, MORNING WILL DAWN, 

aasha rakh jeewan meN, 
HAVE HOPE IN LIFE!

saaNchi ho lagan, jo mann meN,
IF THE PASSION IN THE HEART BE TRUE,

dukh dard miTe pal chhin meN.   
THE SORROW AND PAIN WILL END INSTANTLY!
