Maa Ka Darbaar Lyrics Translation – Shabbir Ahmed | Sonu Nigam
Sonu Nigam’s lyrics detail a devotee setting out from home despite having blisters on their feet. This hardship is accepted as a response to the divine mother’s ‘bulaawa’ or call. The destination is a court described as being higher than even the tallest mountains.
Oonche Pahadon Se Ooncha HaiHigher than the high mountains,
Maa Ka Mere Darbaaris my Mother’s divine court.
Bhakt Tere Maa Nikal Pade HainYour devotees, Mother, have set out,
Sunke Teri Pukaarhaving heard your call.
Pairon Mein Pad Gaye ChhaaleMy feet are covered in blisters,
Ghar Se Hum Toh Nikal Pade Hainbut I have left my home.
Tera Bulawa Aaya HaiYour call has come.
Jai Mata DiVictory to the Mother Goddess.
Ho Oonche Pahadon WaliOh, she who dwells in the high mountains.
Oye Laal Chunariya WaliOh, the one with the red sacred scarf.
Ho Oonche Pahadon WaliOh, she who dwells in the high mountains.
Oye Laal Chunariya WaliOh, the one with the red sacred scarf.
Jhonka Hawa Ka Sandesha MeriA gust of wind has brought a message,
Maa Ka Laaya Haifrom my Mother.
Maa Ka Bulawa Aaya HaiThe Mother’s call has come.
Maa Ka Bulawa Aaya HaiThe Mother’s call has come.
Sherawali Maiya NeThe Mother who rides the lion,
Mehrawali Maiya Nethe Mother who is full of grace,
Ghar Baar Mein Apne Bulaya Haihas summoned me to her own home.
Ho OOh.
Maa Ka Bulawa Aaya HaiThe Mother’s call has come.
Maa Ka Bulawa Aaya HaiThe Mother’s call has come.

Bachpan Se Mata Ke KisseSince childhood, the stories of the Mother,
Humne Apni Maa Se Sunkethat I heard from my own mother…
Bachpan Se Mata Ke KisseSince childhood, the stories of the Mother,
Humne Apni Maa Se Sunkethat I heard from my own mother…
Mann Mera Judd GayaMy heart became connected,
Maa Ke Mann Seto the heart of the Mother.
Nikal Pade Deewane BankeI set out, lost in devotion.
Teri Ek Jhalak Paate HiJust by getting a single glimpse of you,
Poora Hua Sansaar Meramy entire world became complete.
Dhoop Kadakte Baadal MeinIn the scorching sun and under the clouds,
Humko Chhupa Le Aanchal Meinhide me in the fold of your veil.
Maa Ke Aanchal Ka Saaya HaiI’m under the shade of my Mother’s veil.
Maa Ka Bulawa Aaya HaiThe Mother’s call has come.
Maa Ka Bulawa Aaya HaiThe Mother’s call has come.
