apne baahon mei mujko sametein huye
apne baahon mei mujko sametein huye
tann se anchal ki surat lapete huye
geele bistar pe sardi mein lete huye
geele bistar pe sardi mein lete huye
subah hone se pe kuch der soti hai maa
aisi hoti hai maa aasmanon se pariya bhulati hai woh

thapiya deke lori sunati hai woh
chanda mama ka chehara dekhati hai woh
phool mamta ke yun bhi piroti hai maa
aisi hoti hai maa aisi hoti hai maa, aisi hoti hai maa
aisi hoti hai maa, aisi hoti hai maa

Wrapped in her arms, a haven made,
Her shawl of grace, a form to shade.
On dampened sheets, in winter laid,
Upon those sheets, where dreams cascade.
As dawn arrives, she briefly sleeps,
Such is a mother, the soul she keeps.
Such is a mother, where love sweeps.

From skies above, she calls the fair,
Of whispered memories, she takes such care.
A lullaby of tales, beyond compare.
The moon, she shows, with love to share.
Her words of love, a woven art,
Such is a mother, with a loving heart.
Such is a mother, a work of art.

I’ll shield you from sorrow’s sting,
No tears for you, my love, will bring.
In times of grief, your heart will sing,
Each tear a pearl, a precious thing.
Such is a mother, strong and true,
Such is a mother, seeing you through.
Such is a mother, in all we do.
Such is a mother, forever new.
