Maayi Maayi Lyrics Meaning Ritviik Muralidhar | Peter

Ritviik Muralidhar asks what sorrows his mother has hidden away in the fold of her dress. He directly offers to take all her grief upon himself so she can be free of it. The plea is a selfless attempt to lift an unseen weight from her.

Maayi Re Maayi, Maayi Re MaayiMother, oh mother, mother, oh mother.
Meri Saansein Tu, Maayi Re MaayiYou are my every breath, mother, oh mother.
Kho Gaya Mere Sar Se AasmaanThe sky has disappeared from above my head.
Paas Hoke Bhi Tu Saath Mein NahinYou’re so close, but you’re not with me.
Nindiya Na Aaye Aankhon MeinSleep doesn’t come to your eyes,
Loriyan Na Bhaaye Koi Bhi Tujheand no lullaby seems to soothe you.
Kya Kya Chupaaya Daaman MeinWhat sorrows have you hidden away?
Jo Bhi Tera Gham Hai Dede MujheWhatever grief you hold, just give it to me.
Maayi, Maayi, Maayi, Maayi, Phir Se Tu MuskuraMother, mother, mother, mother, please smile again.
Duniya Se Bhi Lad JaaoongaI’ll even fight the entire world,
Mere Liye Tu Muskuraif you’ll just smile for me.
Gham Ke Yeh Genre SaayeThese deep shadows of sorrow,
Angaaron Pe Main Rakh DoonI’ll place them on burning embers.
Raakhon Ko Tere Pairon Pe Rakhoon, Main RakhoonAnd I’ll lay the ashes at your feet, I promise.
Mere Raaton Ke Sitaare, Sehme Huye Hai SaareThe stars in my nights are all cowering in fear.
Maathe Pe Haath Rakhde, Main Jiyun, Main JiyunJust place your hand on my forehead, so I can live, so I can live.
Maayi Re Maayi, Maayi Re MaayiMother, oh mother, mother, oh mother.
Jaane Wale Laut Ke Aate Hain NahinThose who leave don’t ever come back.
Kis Khayal Mein Hai Tu GumshudaWhat thought has you so completely lost?
Paas Hoke Bhi Tu Saath Mein NahinYou’re so close, but you’re not with me.
