For my mother


I learned to stand today

Ma I rushed to you

I learned to write today

Ma I wrote your name

I learned to say ‘I love you ‘today

Ma I said it to you

I got my first, first rank today

Ma it’s all because of you

I had my first fight today

Ma I complained to you

I went away to college that day

Ma I am so missing you

You did not pick up my phone today

Ma I am thinking of you

I liked a guy for the first time today

Ma I so wish to talk to you

I have learnt not to trust today

Ma I remember your words

It’s my first job interview today

Ma thanks for the luck charm

I got the Best Employee Award today

Ma this one is for you

I am getting married today

Ma I am scared, where are you.

I am holding the chubbiest baby girl

Ma, she looks exactly like you.

It feels I am more a part of you then any other day

Ma, I am your daughter just like you.

  7. reminds me of a poem/ghazal by nida fazli sahab. here goes :

    बेसन की सोंधी रोटी पर खट्टी चटनी जैसी माँ ,
    याद आता है चौका-बासन, चिमटा फुँकनी जैसी माँ

    बाँस की खुर्री खाट के ऊपर हर आहट पर कान धरे ,
    आधी सोई आधी जागी थकी दुपहरी जैसी माँ

    चिड़ियों के चहकार में गूँजे राधा-मोहन अली-अली
    मुर्गे की आवाज़ से खुलती, घर की कुंड़ी जैसी माँ

    बीवी, बेटी, बहन, पड़ोसन थोड़ी-थोड़ी सी सब में ,
    दिन भर इक रस्सी के ऊपर चलती नटनी जैसी माँ

    बाँट के अपना चेहरा, माथा, आँखें जाने कहाँ गई
    फटे पुराने इक अलबम में चंचल लड़की जैसी माँ

    nostalgic write up there, keep pening more ;)

    cheers !
