Maa meri maa pyaari maa

I haven’t seen the movie Dasvidaniya(2008), but what I have heard about it makes me want to see it. From what I have read of it, it is a story of a terminally-ill patient, who after receiving the news of the terminal nature of his illness, decides to live his life fully and to achieve ten important things in his life.



This song is one of his first achievements: singing a song on a guitar. His widowed mother is deaf and he wants to sing this to her. But only after he has sung the major part of the song that he realises that she couldn’t hear anything, since her hearing-aid doesn’t have fully-charged batteries. Now, that sounds improbable, since any sensible person would complain right away. Furthermore, when he asks how the song was it seems she can miraculously hear again and thus can complain about the empty batteries. Nevertheless this is a very beautiful song sung by Kailash Kher, a singer with a huge range and classical timbre.

Ava, a regular of this blog, is not only a fantastic mother to her daughter and son but she also finds time to be active in many more fields. For instance, she manage two blogs. In one of them she airs her views on Hindi films and its music and she dedicates the other one to discuss literature . She also regularly contributes to this blog. Even after doing so many things, she still finds time to look after her facebook friends and others.

Today (the 7th of October) is the birthday of Ava. This song is for Ava on this occasion. Happy Birthday, Ava!

Lyrics

maa,

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma

ho maa,

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma

haathon ki lakeeren badal jaayengi

gham ki yeh zanjeeren pighal jaayengi

ho khuda pe bhi asar

tu duaaon kaa hai ghar

meri maa,

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma

ho maa,

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma

bigdi kismat bhi sanwar jaayegi

zindagi taraane khushi ke gaayegi

tere hotey kis ka darr

tu duaaon kaa hai ghar

meri maa,

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma

ho maa,

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma

yoon to main sabse nyaara hoon

tera maa

main dulaara hoon

yoon to main sabse nyaara hoon

par tera maa

main dulaara hoon

duniyaa mein jeene se zyaada uljhan hai maa

tu hai amar ka jahaan aan aan

tu gussa karti hai,

bada achchha lagta hai

tu kaan pakadti hai

badi zor se lagtaa hai,

meri maa

meri maa

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma

ho maa,

meri maa,

pyaari maa,

mamma
