Karan Aujla’s Maa Boldi Aa is more than just a song—it’s a powerful expression of grief. This Punjabi track isn’t meant to entertain. Instead, it gives voice to the pain of losing a parent, with Aujla’s delivery making the emotion feel deeply personal.

The way the song “Maa Boldi Aa” tells its story is what makes it so moving, especially when you read the translated lyrics. It presents two perspectives: first, that of the mother, who is heartbroken, and then that of the father, who quietly carries his grief. Karan Aujla’s lines, “Our son will no longer speak. That is why I am now speaking,” show how parents must find their voice after such a loss.

Jadon Aakhri Vaari Main Hath Fadeya
When I held your hand for the last time.

Today, I am carrying his lifeless body on the shoulder I carried him on.
Rakhun Tere Wangu Guddi Teri Chadi Main
I, like you, will always uphold your reputation.

I twirled your moustaches one last time before the cremation.

Maawan Ton Putt Door Ho Gaye Peyo Ton Yaari Kho Layi
A mother’s son was taken away, and a father’s dear friend was taken away.
Kise Ton Ohda Pyar Kho Leya Auni Si Ghar Doli
A poor girl’s love was taken away from her just as she was about to marry him.
Kihnu Aakhun Kha La Roti, Kihnu Aakhun Kheyal Rakhi,
Who will I encourage to eat his meal? Who will I ask to look after himself?
Kihnu Aakhun Duniya Maadi, Bapu Nu Putt Naal Rakhin,
People are not always great, so keep your father close to you, whom I will guide?
Kihnu Aakhun Putt Tu Mera Te Kihnu Pyaar Jatavaan
Who will I adore and express my feelings for?
Jeyonde Jee Putt Dukh Sehnde Ne Te Baad Ch Sehndiyan Maavan
The pain is felt by sons while they are alive, and then by their mothers.
“Maa Peyo Ton Putt De Vichhode Da Dukh, Is Nu Main Bohat Changi Tarah Jaan’da,
I completely understand the anguish of parents who are separated from their children.
Is Cheez Nu Likh’ke Ya Gaake Beyaan Ni Kar Sakda, Eh Sirf Mehsoos Hi Ho Sakdi Ae.
It’s impossible for me to express it through my singing or writing; it can only be felt.
Eh Ohnu Pata Jihde Naal Hoyi Ae,
Only he knows who goes through it.
Dukh Bohat Gallan Da, Par Ohna Cho Sab Ton Vadda Dukh Eh Aa Ke, Hun Main Bol Reha Par Oh Ni Bolda.”
Many things are hurting, but the most painful aspect is that I am now the only one speaking and he is not.
Haye Main Ohda Baap Bolda
It’s me, his father, speaking.
Haye Main Ohdi Maa Boldi Aa
It’s me, his mother, speaking.
Haye Main Ohda Baap Bolda
Haye Main Ohdi Maa Boldi Aa
Maa Boldi Aa Music Video
This song was released unofficially and is regarded by many as a tribute to Sidhu Moose Wala’s parents, lending it even greater meaning. There’s no music video, so all attention is on the lyrics and Aujla’s serious tone. Maa Boldi Aa is important in Punjabi music, not because it’s popular, but because it honestly captures a shared sense of loss.
