Maa (Taare Zameen Par) Lyrics Meaning

Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main, Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Meri Maa

I never tell,
But I'm afraid of the dark, o mother
I don't show it,
But I care for you, o mother
You know it all, don't you, mother?
You know it all my mother..

Bheed Mein Yun Na Chodo Mujhe
Ghar Laut Ke Bhi Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Bhej Na Itna Door Mujhko Tu
Yaad Bhi Tujhko Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Kya Itna Bura Hoon Main Maa
Kya Itna Bura Meri Maa

Don't leave me in the crowd like that,
I won't even be able to come back home, mother,
Don't send me so far away
that you cannot even remember me, mother
Am I so bad, o mother?
That bad, my mother?

Jab Bhi Kabhi Papa Mujhe
Jo Zor Se Jhoola Jhulate Hain Maa
Meri Nazar Dhoondhe Tujhe
Sochu Yahi Tu Aa Ke Thaamegi Maa
Unse Main Yeh Kehta Nahin
Par Main Seham Jaata Hoon Maa
Chehre Pe Aana Deta Nahin
Dil Hi Dil Mein Ghabraata Hoon Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Hai Naa Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Meri Maa

Whenever dad pushes me hard on a swing,
My eyes look for you,
(thinking) you would stop me o mother
I don't tell him, but I feel fear o mother
I don't let it show on my face,
but I am afraid in my heart, o mother
you know it all, don't you, mother?
You know it all, my mother...
