I love you maa

Not because of the food you fed,
Not because of the room you cleaned,
It’s just because I love you maa
and can’t return the same.

Stay here for some more days maa,
Stay here for long,
Let me feel that you are beside,
And I am not alone.

Let not the sun go down today
Let not the stars come,
Only a few hours to go,
For you to leave for ‘your’ home.

A home that was ours once,
A home where our love dwelt,
How is it so that we are now
the dwellers of two different nests?

Is it the wedding knot that drew a line,
Or is it a change in me?
That built a huge wall maa,
Between you and me.

In childhood close but youth I was closer,
To you, if you recollect maa,
We four had a loving bond,
I still want to share.

Let me love you, let me kiss you
For one more time maa,
Let not the train leave today
As I will miss you maa.

Heart is growing heavy maa,
Tears rolling down my cheek,
Can’t you stay back some more days,
For your daughter is in need.
