Tu ro le Maai

Original Submission by Zinnia khan

Maai teri aankh mein jo neend chupi dekhi maine

To dil ne mere mujhse pooch liya

Kya soyi nahi meri Maai rat bhar

Kya ab apni raaton ko bhi chod diya

Maai teri aankhon mein Jo gussa chupa dekha maine to dil ne mere mujhse pooch liya

Kya royi nahi meri Maai kuch saalon se

Ya aansoon ne bhi apna rukh mod liya

Jab raaton mein baith ke tu roti thi

To neend mujhe bhi na aati thi

Teri ek aah se Maai, meri bhi neend khul jati thi

Shayad Isi liye tune rona chod diya

Ki dekh legi meri gudiya to royegi meri hi tarah

Yeh soch ke tune apne aapko poori hi tarah tod diya Par maai main Itni kamzor nahin

ki tujhe rota dekhkar chod dun

tu akeli baith ke roye aur

Main letke kambal odh loon

Main Jagoongi tere saath raat bhar aur

Pochungi har ek ansoo Jo aayega teri aankh par

kaise socha tune teri beti kamzor hai

Teri beti ki bahaduri Ke charche charon or hain

Tu ro le maai dil khol ke

Kyunki rone se dard kam hojata hai

Jo na royen to zakhm ban Jata Hai

Main teri hi to parchayi hoon

Par main teri tarah banne nahin aai hoon

Main banungi mazboot Itni ki mujhe koi tod na paye

Or Jo pyar kare mujhse wo mujhe kabhi chod na paye

tu Ro le Maai

Sukoon se so le Maai

Jo dil tera halka ho Jayega to zindagi ka safar aasan ho Jayega

Mushkil waqt guzar hi Jayega

Kam se kam tujhe khulke Jeena to aayega

Bas usi Pal ka Intezar hai mujhe

Jab tu ro ro ke thak Jayegi

aur phir muskurati hui mere paas aayegi

kahegi mujhse achcha hua jo main ro li

Aaj main sukoon se so li

Phir teri god mein sar rakh ke Maai

Main bhi sukoon se soungi

aur Apne khwabon ki duniya

Main tere khwabon ke saath sajaungi
