thodi si cute hai, thodi si karari bhi
thodi si cool hai, thodi si purani bhi
jese garmi mein thanda sa sharbat khatta-meetha sa
jaise sardi mein chahat ka koi kambal mota sa
meri pyari ammi jo hai, meri pyari ammi jo hai
meri pyari ammi jo hai, meri pyari ammi jo hai

mushkil mein hoti hoon ammi meri roti hai
khushi mein bhi meri wo dupatta bhigoti hai
ek ek aansu me duaein piroti hai
koi bataye kya hai ammi aisi hoti hai

thodi si sayani hai, thodi si emotional
ammi jo hass de to tal jaye har mushkil
jese kismat ki chabhi hai wo jo khole har tala
maine apne sapno ka har baksa unko de dala

meri pyari ammi jo hai, meri pyari ammi jo hai
meri pyari ammi jo hai, meri pyari ammi jo hai

ammi ke hathon mein jane kesi barkat hai
daal khichdi mein bhi dawaton ki lazzat hai
chehre pe fikron ki lakirein hai dekho fir bhi
ammi meri duniya mein sabse khubsurat hai

thodi si mom hai, thori si gusarf bhi
ammi ki god mai tham jaata hai waqt bhi
jese unke sine mein tik tik tik meri dhadkan hai
mujhe unke sine se lag ke mil jati jannat hai
meri pyari ammi jo hai, meri pyari ammi jo hai
meri pyari ammi jo hai, meri pyari ammi jo hai
hai, hai, hai, hai, hai, hai, hai
hai, hai, hai, hai, hai, hai, hai
ammi jo hai, ammi-ammi jo hai
ammi-ammi jo hai, ammi-ammi jo hai

A touch of sweet, a whisper of sharp,
A coolness that chills, a heart that can harp.
Like summer's embrace, a sherbet so bright,
Or winter's warm quilt, holding the night.
My dearest Ammi, she is, she is,
My dearest Ammi, she is, she is.

When shadows descend, my Ammi's tears fall,
In joy's bright dance, her dupatta enthralls.
Each tear a prayer, a string of pure grace,
Tell me, what is Ammi, in this sacred space?

A wisdom that gleams, a soul that can weep,
Her laughter dispels the troubles that creep.
Like fortune's own key, unlocking each door,
My dreams in her care, forevermore.

My dearest Ammi, she is, she is,
My dearest Ammi, she is, she is.
Her hands, a blessing, a touch divine,
Dal khichdi's taste, like a banquet's design.
Worry's deep lines etched upon her dear face,
Yet, in all the world, she holds the most grace.

A softness of wax, a whisper of fire,
In Ammi's warm arms, time takes its desire.
My heartbeat echoes, within her embrace,
In her arms, my heaven, in that sacred place.
My dearest Ammi, she is, she is,
My dearest Ammi, she is, she is.
Is, is, is, is, is, is, is,
Is, is, is, is, is, is, is,
Ammi she is, Ammi-Ammi she is,
Ammi-Ammi she is, Ammi-Ammi she is.
