Maa

To my dearest, loving and Angel Maa,

Who taught me everything better than Karma.

Since the day I was Born,

It's you, who is teaching me "AAKHIR MAIN HUN KAUN?"

You know na that you are my personal helpline number?

You have solutions to all my problems, remember?

One day I came calling you out " Maa Main Gir gayi!"

It's because of you Maa ki aaj main har baar gir kar bhi sambhalna sikh gayi.

I still remember how you used to fix my broken pencils by sharpening them from both the ends,

It's you Maa who taught me that if I need someone, I have my own hands.

You are my human glue, Fevicol ka mazboot jod bhi aapke saamne kamzor lagta hai,

It's because of you Maa ki har shakhs ko mera dil todne se aaj bhi darr lagta hai.

Tumhe pareshaan karna aaj bhi mera sabse favourite game hai.

It's because of your stories of broken dreams ki aaj mera bhi koii aim hai.

The lap of your in which you used to make me sleep and sing Lullaby,

Bas itni si khwahish hai ki usse behisaab khushiyon se bhar pau kabhi.
