Mother whittled her life away
working to raise me and fell to illness!
وأضاعت أمّي حياتها في العمل 
!لتربيتي ووقعت ضحيّة المرض
Meine Mutter hat ihr Leben lang gearbeitet,
um mich großzuziehen, und wurde dann krank!
Madre trabajo día y noche para criarme
y cayó ante una enfermedad.
Mi madre se dejó la vida trabajando
para poder criarme. Por eso enfermó.
Et ma mère a été vaincue
par la maladie
माँ ने अपना जीवन मेरे पालन-पोषण में
खर्च किया और बिमारी का शिकार हुई!
Mia madre,
Minha mãe trabalhou até desgastar-se
e pereceu por causa da doença.
Матушка же!..
