Mayi Ri Song Lyrics English Translation – Asrar | Waqar Ali

Kis Se Puchun Main Ye Maula Aisa Hota Hai Kyon
Whom should I ask, O Lord, why does this happen?

Kaliyan Kyon Murjha Jaati Hai Bachpan Rota Hai Kyon
Why do the blossoms wither, why does childhood weep?

Akeli Mayi Ri Akeli Mayi Ri
Alone I am, oh mother, so utterly alone

Hui Kyon Akeli Mayi Ri
Why have I become so lonely, oh mother?

Saheli Mayi Ri Saheli Mayi Ri
My only companion, oh mother, my only friend

Dukhon Ki Saheli Mayi Ri
A companion of sorrows, oh mother

Bartanon Se Khelna Tha Gudiyon Se Bolna Tha
I was meant to play with utensils and talk to dolls

Chupp Si Hogayi Kyu Mayi Ri
Why have I turned so silent, oh mother?

Kagazon Ki Kashtiyon Me Bachpan Ko Tairna Tha
Childhood was meant to float in paper boats

Gham Me Kho Gayi Kyu Mayi Ri
Why did it drown in sorrow, oh mother?

Ab To Yeh Haal Hai Har Pal Sawaal Hai
Now every moment is filled with questions

Dekha Na Tha Socha Na Tha Aisa Malal Hai
Never imagined or saw this kind of regret

Kanton Me So Gayi Kyu Teri Zindagi
Why has your life come to rest upon thorns?

Har Farsh Par Aadarsh Par Jeena Muhal Hai
On every floor, every ideal, living has become impossible

Baadalon Ki Chhatriyon Ke Saye-Saye Jal Rahi Thi
Beneath the shade of clouded umbrellas, she kept burning slowly

Beeti Zindagi Yu Mayi Ri
That’s how the past life faded, oh mother

Ungliyon Ko Thamkar Jo Paon Paon Chalne Lagi Thi
She had just begun to walk holding fingers for support

Tuti Choodiyan Kyun Mayi Ri
Why are the bangles now shattered, oh mother?

Charkhe Ki Kook Thi Man Me Jo Hook Thi
She was the song of the spinning wheel, the ache in the soul

Qurbat Teri Chahat Teri Kyu Besulook Thi
Why was your nearness, your love, treated so unjustly?

Ranjhe Ki Heer Tu Dil Ki Tasveer Tu
You were Ranjha’s Heer, the image of the heart

Mannat Teri Jannat Teri Aisi Faqeer Tu
Your wishes were sacred, your soul was divine — yet you lived like a beggar

Mayi Ri Mayi Ri Mayi Ri Mayi Ri…
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother…

Kachi Kachi Tehniyon Ko Aandhiyaan Kyon Todti Hain
Why do storms break the tender branches?

Kyun Ye Lehre Kashtiyon Ko Besahara Chhodti Hain
Why do these waves leave boats helpless and adrift?

Chhoti Umron Ke Ye Bandhan Rog Ban Jaate Hai Kaahe
Why do bonds at such young ages turn into lifelong wounds?

Kyun Ye Kiraney Roshni Ki Kaale Badal Odhti Hai
Why does the ray of light wrap itself in dark clouds?

Ab Toh Yeh Haal Hai Har Pal Sawaal Hai
Now every moment is filled with unanswered questions

Dekha Na Tha Socha Na Tha Aisa Malal Hai
Never seen or imagined, this pain is full of regret

Kaanton Me So Gayi Kyon Teri Zindagi
Why has your life come to rest upon thorns?

Har Farsh Par Aadarsh Par Jeena Muhal Hai
On every floor, upon every ideal, living has become impossible

Akeli Mayi Ri Akeli Mayi Ri
Alone I am, oh mother, all alone

Hui Kyun Akeli Mayi Ri
Why have I ended up so alone, oh mother?

Saheli Mayi Ri Saheli Mayi Ri
Oh mother, my only companion

Dukhon Ki Saheli Mayi Ri
A companion of sorrows, oh mother

Dukhon Ki Saheli Mayi Ri
A companion of sorrows, oh mother
