120 Bahadur’s Main Hoon Woh Dharti Maa Lyrics Translation
The verses praise the soldier’s service, noting the pride on his face while he stood guard. He is told he will not be forgotten and now lives in the hearts of the people. The motherland repeats her thanks to her “darling” child.
Main Hoon Woh Dharti MaaI am that Mother Earth
Tune Jispar Di Hai JaanFor whom you gave your life
Aaja, Aaja Meri Baahon MeinCome, come into my arms
Tujhko Main Apna LoonI will make you my own
Seene Se Main Lipta LoonI’ll hold you close to my heart
Aaja Meri Anant Yaadon MeinCome into my eternal memories
Jung Ke Aag Mein, Maut Ke Raag MeinIn the fire of war, in the melody of death
Ek Pal Bhi Kabhi Tera Sar Naa JhukaYour head never bowed, not for a single moment
Garv Chehre Pe Tha, Maa Ke Pehre Pe ThaPride was on your face while you stood guard for your mother
Laadle-Laadle ShukriyaMy darling, my darling, thank you
Ab So Bhi Jaa, Meri God Mein, Meri Chhaon MeinGo to sleep now, in my lap, in my shade
Sun Jo Kehti Hai MaaListen to what your mother says
Aa So Bhi Jaa, Ki Hai Tu Hai Jaagta,Come, sleep now, for you have been awake
Tu Hi Toh Hai Basa, Dhadkanon Mein, Dilon Mein YahanIt’s you who now resides in the heartbeats, in the hearts of this land
Teri Dastaan Sadiyon Tak YahanYour story will be told here for centuries
Log Dohrayenge Raat DinPeople will recount it, night and day
Mujhko Ehsaas Hai, Jo Bhi Itehas HaiI know that all of history
Poora Hoga Na Woh Tere BinWon’t be complete without you
Ab Kahun Toh Kahun, Kya Main Iske SiwaWhat more can I say now, besides this
Laadle-Laadle ShukriyaMy darling, my darling, thank you
Ab So Bhi Jaa, Meri God Mein, Meri Chhaon MeinGo to sleep now, in my lap, in my shade
Sun Jo Kehti Hai MaaListen to what your mother says
Aa So Bhi Jaa, Ki Hai Tu Hai Jaagta,Come, sleep now, for you have been awake
Tu Hi Toh Hai Basa, Dhadkanon Mein, Dilon Mein YahanIt’s you who now resides in the heartbeats, in the hearts of this land
Main Hoon Woh Dharti MaaI am that Mother Earth
Tune Jispar Di Hai Apni JaanFor whom you gave your very own life
Aaja, Aaja Meri Baahon MeinCome, come into my arms
Tujhko Main Apna LoonI will accept you as my own
Seene Se Main Lipta LoonI’ll embrace you and hold you close
Aaja Meri Anant Yaadon MeinCome into my everlasting memories
The song functions as a gentle lullaby, urging the soldier to sleep in his mother’s lap. This changes the act of dying into a peaceful return home. The lyrics’ meaning for “Main Hoon Woh Dharti Maa” comes from this reframing of sacrifice as an honorable final rest.
