Chorus
फूलों की तरह खिलते देखा,
तारों की तरह चमकते देखा
We saw her bloom like a flower,
We saw her shine like the stars in power.
ये माँ जगदम्बे आँचल में,
सारे जग को पलते देखा
In the shade of Mother Jagadamba’s veil,
We saw the whole world lovingly prevail.
फूलों की तरह खिलते देखा,
तारों की तरह चमकते देखा
We saw her blossom like spring’s sweet bloom,
And sparkle like starlight in the night’s gloom.
Verse 1
माँ तेरी मीठी खुशबू से,
मधुबन सारा महका था
O Mother, from your sweet fragrance pure,
All of Madhuban became a perfumed allure.
वो प्यार का सागर छलका था,
सबकी पीड़ा हरते देखा
A whole ocean of love overflowed,
We saw you remove everyone’s heavy load.
सबकी पीड़ा हरते देखा
फूलों की तरह खिलते देखा,
तारों की तरह चमकते देखा
We saw you wipe away every pain,
Like flowers you bloomed, like stars you reigned.
Verse 2
सबके आँसू तुमने पोछे,
पर तुम न हरगिज़ रोई थी
You wiped everyone’s tears with care,
Yet never wept, your strength was rare.
गंभीर, धीर ममता मूरत,
सब में खुशियाँ भरते देखा
So calm, so deep, embodiment of grace,
We saw you fill each soul with happiness in place.
सब में खुशियाँ भरते देखा
फूलों की तरह खिलते देखा,
तारों की तरह चमकते देखा
We saw you bring joy to every face,
Blooming like flowers, shining with celestial grace.
Verse 3
जब तुम धरती पे चलती थी,
धरती पुलकित हो उठती थी
When you walked upon this Earth so kind,
Even the Earth would thrill in divine delight.
वो चाल अलौकिक देखने को,
अम्बर को भी झुकते देखा
To witness your heavenly walk so true,
We saw the sky itself bow down to you.
अम्बर को भी झुकते देखा
फूलों की तरह खिलते देखा,
तारों की तरह चमकते देखा
Even the heavens paid you due,
As you bloomed like flowers and sparkled like dew.
