She won't lie, she would just say "Sab theek hai"

The day before my school annual i asked her

Because she looked covered and masked not looking better

Mask of grief and responsibilities to handle alone

Seeing her present there i knew she could handle any stone

But with all the illness and alone to handle life's chaos

She won't lie, she would just say "Sab theek hai"

And that lady on the bus stop looked fierce with things

later smiling seeing her husband like she found him among the kings

I saw her daily frustrated with her office works

Displaying nothing to her husband and showing perks

So with all the work load and household's to balance

She won't lie, she would just say "Sab theek hai"

I was the younger one and took her clothes to wear

In functions i was'nt that careful resulting in clothes to tear

And hiding it best under the sofa so she could not see

But finding it out she wouldn't shout because she loves me

So on her hard and painful times when i asked

She won't lie, she would just say "Sab theek hai"

You remember the old lady playing peek a boo games

In your childhood she ran behind you having various joint pains

And whenever you asked she has all the solutions ready 

So you love her more for whatever she has given you already

But in those games when you asked are you okay?

She won't lie, she would just say "Sab theek hai"
