Mummy O Mummy Pyari Si Mummy
ache se chacha tumse bhi jyada
zimmi hai toh milne ki
hona nahi mere liye tum udaas
hona nahi mere liye tum udaas
kehna na mera na mano kitada
dur hai tumse karti hu
la phir banao jo tum or mummy
phir bhi karuga na patti
sath the jab khele natak neeli to bholi peeli goli
hona nahi mere liye tum udaas

baho ka takiya mujhe yaad aaye
sota tha mein ispe muumy
chanda ki chachi kahani padhi thi
mera roj hai jana ye tera batana
wo halki se tappi
wo methi se pappi
ayegi ye phirse ye humhe raat
hona nahi mere liye tum udaas
hona nahi mere liye tum udaas

My dearest mother, loveliest of all,
More dear than uncles, standing strong and tall.
Though Jimmy's path, a meeting I must greet,
Do not, my mother, let your heart retreat.
Do not, my mother, let your sorrow fall,
Don't say I'm gone, though distance may enthrall.
I'm close, though far, my spirit to you clings,
Re-make the world, the joy that memory brings.
Though paths diverge, and wounds may leave their scar,
My bandage heart, I'll never be too far.
When we played games, the blue, so pure and bright,
The yellow, bold, dispelling all the night,
Do not, my mother, let your spirit cease.

Your arms, the pillow where I used to rest,
I slept upon them, cradled and caressed.
The moon's aunt's tales, you'd softly then impart,
My daily journey, whispered to my heart.
Your gentle slap, your kiss, a tender art,
This night will come again, though we're apart.
Do not, my mother, let your spirit cease.
Do not, my mother, let your spirit cease.
