Mahi Ri Kaase Kahoo Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Dastak (1970)
maai ri… haan..
o mother
maai ri main kaise kahoo peer apane jiya ki
o mother, how could i tell you the pain of my heart
maai ri….
o mother
os nayan ki unake meri lagi ko bujhaaye naa
His sight (luster of eyes) is not fulfilling my hunger
tan-man bheego de aake aisi ghata koi chhaaye naa
which will soak my body and heart, such cloud is not coming
mohe bahaa le jaaye aisi lahar koi aaye naa
which will flow me away, such wave is not coming
os nayan ki unake meri lagi ko bujhaaye naa
His sight (luster of eyes) is not fulfilling my hunger
padi nadiya ke kinaare main pyaasi maai ri….
i fall at the end of a river with thirst
maai ri main kaase kahoo peer apane jiya ki
maai ri….
pee ki dagar mein baithe maila huwa ri mera aanchara
by waiting into his path, my aanchara(Corner Of The ‘Dopatta’ Worn By Women) has became stained
mukhada hai fikaa fika, nainon mein sohe nahin kaajaraa
my face has become faint, the kajal is not suiting my eyes
kaajaraa/kajal: applied medicinally and as a collyrium to the eyes
koi jo dekhe maiyaa, preet ka vaase kahun maajaraa
if somebody see me o mother, how should i tell the thing about love
pee ki dagar mein baithe maila huwa ri mera aanchara
by waiting into his path, my aanchara has became stained
lat mein padi kaisi birhaa ki maati
how the soil of separation is fall into my tresses
maai ri……
haan, maai ri main kaise kahoo peer apane jiya ki
maai ri….
aankho mein chalte firate, roj mile piya baawre
walking/roaming into my eyes, he is meeting me every day
bainyaa ki chhainyaa aake milte nahin kabhi saanware
but he not meeting me by coming into my arms
dukh ye milan ka le ke ka kaaroon, kahaa jaau re
by taking this grief what should i do, where should i go
aankho mein chalte firate, roj mile piya baawre
walking/roaming into my eyes, he is meeting me every day
paakar bhi, nahin unako mein paati
by getting him, i am still not getting him
maai ri main kaise kahoo peer apane jiya ki
maai ri….
