pitah jeewan hai, sambal hai, shakti hai,
pitah shristi ke nirmaan ki abhi-bhyakti hai,
pitah ungli pakkde bacche ka sahara hai,
pitah kabhi kuch khatta, khabhi khhara hai,
pitah paalan hai, poshan hai, pariwaar ka anushaashan hai,
pitah dhaus se chalne wala prem ka prashasan hai,
pitah rooti hai, kappda hai, makkan hai,
pitah chhote se parindon ka bada aashmaan hai,
pitah niswarth annant pyaar hai,
pitah hai to bachhon ka intezaar hai,
pitah se hi bachhon ke dher saare sapne hain,
pitah hai to baazar ke sab khilone apne hain,
pitah se pariwaar mein pratipal raag hai,
pitah se hi maa ka bindi aur suhaag hai,
pitah parmatama ki jagat ke prati aashakti hai,
pitah grihasta aashram mein uccha sthiti ki bhakti hai,
pitah apne ichhaon ka hannan aur pariwaar ki purti hai,
pitah rakt mein diya hua sanskaaron ki murti hai,
pitah ek jeewan ko jeewan ka daan hai,
pitah duniyan dikhaane ka ehsaan hai,
pitah suraksha hai, sar par haath hai,
pitah nahi to bachpaan anaath hai,
to pitah se bada tum apna naam karo,
pitah ka apmaan nahi, unn par abhimaan karo,
kyuki maa-baap ki kami koi bant nahi sakta,
aur ishwar bhi inki aashishon ko kaat nahi sakta,
vishwa mein kisi bhi devi-devta ka sthaan duja hai,
maa-baap ki sewa hi sabse badi puja hai,
vishwa mein kisi bhi tirtha ki yaatraein byarth hai,
yadi beta ke haathon mein maa-baap ashmartha hai,
woh khushnaseeb hain jo maa-baap ke sath hote hain,
kyuki maa-baap ki aashishon ke hazaron haath hote hain.
