Maa Lyrics
“Maa” is a deeply moving and evocative tribute song released under Zee Music Company in 2019, uniquely voiced by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan along with child artist Yajat Garg. Composed by Anuj Garg with profoundly nostalgic lyrics by Puneet Sharma, the song beautifully defines a mother through the simple, innocent lens of childhood memories and everyday metaphors, like the roundness of a roti, the warmth of a winter quilt, or a hand-knitted sweater. It captures the unconditional depth of maternal love, expressing how a mother’s presence lingers even in her absence, how her tears can terrify a child, and how she remains the ultimate anchor of comfort and truth in one’s life.
Meri rooti ki golayi maa
Shardi waali rajayi maa
Mera pahla akchar maa
Mere sabse bhitar maa
Maathe ki pappi maa
Sabse mithi jhappi maa
Paani jaisi pyaari maa
Kahani jaisi nyari maa
Gudiya jaisi booli
Rangeeli rangoli,
Meri rooti ki golayi maa
Meri rooti ki golayi maa
Mere sach ki sab sachhai maa
Sweter waali bunayi maa
Chanw se jyada thandi
Kaanch pe lagi bindi
Dar lagta hai jab rooti hai maa
Naa hone pe bhi hoti hai maa
Loori jaisi komal
Main bachha wo aangan
Meri aankho mein
Bhara ye maa
Meri rooti ki golayi maa
Meri rooti ki golayi maa
Maa – Lyrics in Hindi
मेरी रोटी की गोलाई माँ
सर्दी वाली रज़ाई माँ
मेरा पहला अक्षर माँ
मेरे सबसे भीतर माँ
माथे की पप्पी माँ
सबसे मीठी झप्पी माँ
पानी जैसी प्यारी माँ
कहानी जैसी न्यारी माँ
गुड़िया जैसी भोली
रंगीली रंगोली,
मेरी रोटी की गोलाई माँ
मेरी रोटी की गोलाई माँ
मेरे सच की सब सच्चाई माँ
स्वेटर वाली बुनाई माँ
छाँव से ज़्यादा ठंडी
काँच पे लगी बिंदी
डर लगता है जब रोती है माँ
ना होने पे भी होती है माँ
लोरी जैसी कोमल
मैं बच्चा वो आँगन
मेरी आँखों में
भरा ये माँ
मेरी रोटी की गोलाई माँ
मेरी रोटी की गोलाई माँ
