hasin pyari bholi, shahd ke jaisi mithi
hai naram jaise rui, nani maa
kahaniya sunati, pehliya bujhati
thapak thapak sulati, nani maa
tumhi ho meri lori, tumhi meri kahani
tumhara pyar, bachpan ki ek hasi nishani
tumhi ne di thi gudiya, jo thi meri saheli
tumhara hi tha aangan, mai kal thi jis me kheli

tumhi ne tha bataya, hai rang kitne sare
tumhi ne tha bataya, hai phul kitne pyare
tumhi ne tha sikhaya, bado se kaise bolu
tumhi ne tha sikhaya, dupatta kaise odhu
wo pyar se bulati, wo pyar se sikhati
wo kuch na kuch batati, nani maa

tumhi ne mere dil me mohabbate hain gholi
tumhi se to suni thi, jo bolti hu boli
tumhi ne to kaha tha, jo bhulta nahi hain
hamesha yaad rakhna ke zindagi hasi hain
wo har subah jagaati, mithayiya khilati
hamesha muskurati, nani maa
hasin pyari bholi, shahd ke jaisi mithi
hai naram jaise rui, nani maa

A beauty, darling, innocent and bright,
Sweet as honey, bathed in morning light.
Soft as cotton, yielding to the touch,
My grandmother, I love her very much.

She told me stories, solved riddles deep,
And lulled me gently into peaceful sleep.
You are my lullaby, my whispered lore,
A childhood smile I will forever store.
You gifted me a doll, my truest friend,
Within your courtyard, my days did transcend.

You showed the spectrum, colors in their prime,
And taught of flowers, blooming through all time.
You taught me manners, how to speak with grace,
And how to drape a shawl across my face.
With loving whispers, knowledge did impart,
My grandmother, a treasure in my heart.

You poured into my heart, a love so grand,
From you, I learned the language of the land.
You taught me words that time cannot erase,
That life is precious, a beautiful embrace.
Each dawn you’d wake me, with sweets so sweet,
Always smiling, my grandmother, complete.
A beauty, darling, innocent and bright,
Sweet as honey, bathed in morning light.
Soft as cotton, yielding to the touch,
My grandmother, I love her very much.
