Aai

I wrote this poem for my Mom, and its in Marathi, it was meant as a surprise - part of the Scrapbook I made for her.

Aai tuzhya kushi peksha mau ushi jagat kuthech nahi,
tuzhya haata evdha mau kuthlach resham nahi.

cheheryawarche sagle haav-bhaav, na sangta samajnari,
na maagtach sarva kahi denaari,

neeraj aani mazhyat kadhich bhed-bhaav na karnari
aamchya aanandat sadaiva khush rahanari
jagavegli ga tu aai

swatahacha traas kadhich na kallu denari
sagle dukha hasat mukhane peun ghenari
tuzhya astitvat mala kunachi garaz nahi padnar kadhi
sarvanpeksha shrestha ashi sarvat priya maitrin tu mazhi

changla - vaaeet, khara - khota
saglyatla bhed-bhav shikavnari
yashat shabhashi aani chukit ragavnari

me shabdat kadhi saangu shaknar nahi
kavitet mazha prem dakhavu shaknar nahi
me tuzhi runi aahe ase me mhanhnar nahi
aani tuzhya premacha mol lavnar nahi

aabhar me mante sadaiv devache ki
aai sarkhi aai nahi
sarvat changli maitrin aahe mazhi
