Mother hadn't gone anywhere
From the early morn to the timed out dusk
She had worked herself to exhaustion
Having finished a long day's work
She opened the door to my room
And slept off without much ado
Her breathing danced in rhythm
With the wind playing across the house.
She stood up in slumber
Walked upto the gate
In the street she called out my name
Far away, somewhere, faraway, lost in the crowds
I couldn't hear my own voice
How could I hear hers?
Mother hadn't slept off fully
She would hear the footsteps of my return
Like the lonely passenger
On a foundered ship
Still alive
And in the basement of the foundered ship
Looking for his little children
Calling out their names
Calling out. |
Maan kite gayi nahin si
Saver saar ton tikaal sandhya tak
Kamm kardi kardi thak gayi si
Lamme din di saari kaar mukaa ke
Ohne mera kamra kholeya
Te sehaj subhaa naal saun gayi
Ghar de aarpaar langhdi hawa de ang-sang
Ohde saah charhde lehnde san
Sutneendre vich uth ke
Oh baahar gate tak gayi
Te gali vich mere naan di aawaaz ditti
Mainun taan aapnni hi aawaaz nahin si sunndi
Ohdi kiven sunndaa?
Maan poori sutti vi nahin si
Ohnun mere murh aunn di birhak si
Samundar vich gharak gaye jahaaz de
Us kallekaare musaafar vaang
Jo aje jioondaa hai
Te gharke jahaaz de tehkhaane vich
Aapnne nikke neaanneyaan nun labhdaa
Ohnaan de naan diyaan vaajaan maardaa hai |
