Tujhe sab hai pataa meree maa

Mȧi kabhee, batalaata nahėe
par andhere se ḍarta hoȯ mȧi maȧ
Yoȯ to mȧi, dikhalaata nahėe
teree parvaah kartaa hoȯ mȧi maȧ
Tujhe sab hai pataa, hai na maȧ
tujhe sab hai pataa meree maȧ

Bheeṛ mė, yoȯ na chhoṛo mujhe
ghar laut ke bhee aa na paoȯ maȧ
Bhej na itnaa door mujhko too
yaad bhee tujhko aa na paoȯ maȧ
Kyaa itnaa buraa hoȯ mȧi maȧ
kyaa itna buraa.. meree maȧ

Jab bhee kabhee paapaa mujhe
jo zor se jhoola jhulaate hȧi maȧ
Meree nazar dhoondhe tujhe
sochoȯ yahee too aa ke thaamegee maȧ

Unse mȧi, ye kahtaa nahee
par mȧi saham jaataa hoȯ maȧ
Chehre pe, aane detaa nahėe
dil hee dil mė ghabraataa hoȯ maȧ
Tujhe sab hai pataa hai na maȧ
tujhe sab hai pataa.. meree maȧ

I never tell, But I’m afraid of the dark, O Mother. I don’t show it, But I care for you, O Mother You know it all, don’t you, Mother? You know it all my mother.

Don’t leave me in the crowd like that, I won’t even be able to come back home, Mother, Don’t send me so far away that you cannot even remember me, Mother Am I so bad, O Mother? That bad, my mother?

Whenever dad pushes me hard on a swing, My eyes look for you, (thinking) you would stop me O mother I don’t tell him, but I feel fear O mother I don’t let it show on my face, but I am afraid in my heart, O mother you know it all, don’t you, mother? You know it all, my mother.
