Original Submission by Rohan Kumar

Paav par chot lagi to chalna mai seekha tha, pehli dafa cycle se girne

par mai cheekha tha, thokar khayi thi kaafi tabhi khada mai ho paya

tha,

Har pal har lamha sath Maa ka saya tha,

Main gira to usne utha diya tez dauda to ruka diya, rone se pehle hi

usne chup tha mujhko kra diya,

chahe khud khaya na ho par mujhko khilakr sula diya,

Jab bhi kabhi kuch bhul jata hu maa yaad mujhko karati hai kaha

rakha tha aakhri baar bolkar dhundwati hai,

Wo karishma hai chamatkar hai maa ishwar rupi sansaar hai,

Maa mandir hai dargah hai maa gurudwara or girja hai,

wo quran ki aayat hai geeta ka saar hai guru granth sahib ki panktiyan

or bible ka aadhar hai,

maa dhoop mai meri chaav hai baarish mai mera chhata gar maa na

hoti duniya mai to koi khush na reh pata, Maa!
