Singer : Jagjit Singh <br /> <br />Poet : Shiv Kumar Batalvi <br /> <br /> <br />Mother oh Mother I have befriended a hawk <br /> <br />With a plume on her head and PAYAL on her feet <br />she came pecking for grains <br />Firstly her beauty radiant as sunlight <br />Secondly smelling as if immersed in perfume <br />Thirdly her Skin color that of rose Child of any fair mother <br /> <br />I prepared one bed of love and laid it in moonlight <br />Sheet of my body got dirty when her feet touched it <br />I lost my sight in sorrows a flood of tears engulfed my eyes <br />Whole night passed thinking why I earned this pain <br />Early morning, with Scrub paste I scrubbed and bathed <br />Dust exuded from body and my hands got ragged <br /> <br />She never ate food of Love so I served flesh of my heart <br />She took a great flight And never returned back to country <br />Oh my Mother I have befriended a hawk
