Free Father (Papa) Shayari Examples

Papa never said I love you, not once in twenty years, He said did you eat, and drive slow, and wiped no tears. But he stood at the gate till the bus turned the bend, And that is the sentence he never had to end.

He checks the tyre pressure before I leave, Says nothing, just kneels with his rolled-up sleeve. I used to think it was about the bike, Now I know that is the hug, that is what it is like.

My father's love is a full petrol tank, A wallet left on my table, no thank You expected, no note, no name, Just the quiet proof that he came.

He waits up on the sofa pretending to watch the news, The TV is on mute, he is watching the door, the shoes. When I walk in, he yawns and says, you are late, Then goes to bed, relieved, without a debate.

Papa's hands are rough from thirty years of work, But on my head, they are soft, they never jerk. One pat, one nod, one go on, beta, That is his speech, and I could not want better.

He does not remember birthdays, he remembers the fee, The due date, the form, the doctor at three. His love has no ribbon, no card, no cake, It is a signature on every form, for my sake.

The night I failed, he did not say a word, He just made two cups of tea, and stirred Mine longer than his, and sat till I slept, That is how my father wept.

Papa's love is the umbrella tilted to my side, His shoulder wet, mine dry, on the whole ride. He never mentioned it, I never saw, Until I held one over my own, and understood it all.

He wore the same shoes for seven years, So I could wear new ones, without tears. I noticed the crack in the sole last May, And bought him a pair he still will not wear, to this day.

Papa skipped the trip, skipped the phone, skipped the car, So my fees would go wherever they are. He said he did not want those things anyway, I believed him then, I do not believe him today.

He sold his watch the year I got in, Said it was old, said it was tin. I saw the mark on his wrist for a year, That pale band is why I am here.

My father ate the burnt roti every night, Said he liked it crisp, said it was right. Maa knew, I did not, I was small, Now I take the burnt one, and I know it all.

He never took a sick day in thirty years, Not for fever, not for grief, not for fears. Then he retired, and slept for a week, And we tiptoed past, and did not speak.

Papa gave me the window seat every single ride, Sat in the middle, squeezed, on the aisle side. I thought he liked it, I thought it was fine, He just wanted me to see the world, that was his line.

His dream was a shop, mine was a degree, Only one of those dreams got to be. He chose mine, and never said a thing, I carry his shop in everything I bring.

Papa taught me to count change before I walk away, To look a man in the eye and mean what I say. To fix what breaks before buying new, And to never let a friend pay for two.

He said: the world does not owe you, beta, work, And if you fall, do not lie there and smirk. Get up, dust off, do not tell the crowd, And never, ever be too loud.

My father taught me to ride by letting go, I wobbled, I fell, he stood back, said so. Then he said: again, and did not hold the seat, That is how I learned to stand on my feet.

He never lectured, he just did the thing, Got up early, paid the bills, stayed in the ring. I learned by watching, not by being told, That is the only teaching that does not grow old.

Papa said a man is not his salary, not his car, A man is how he treats the waiter, the guard, the bar He holds himself to when nobody sees, I think of that each time I say please.

He taught me silence is a full sentence, That sorry is not weakness, it is repentance, And that a promise made to a child Is the only kind that cannot be filed.

The first time I lied, he did not shout, He just looked at me till the truth came out. Then he said: I know, I was waiting for you, And that look is the reason I stay true.

The chair by the window is empty now, The newspaper still comes, I do not know how To cancel it, or maybe I do not want to, Some things are easier to keep than undo.

I still reach for the phone when the bike breaks down, Still hear him say, check the plug, in that voice, that frown. He has been gone three years, and still, Every repair is a conversation, uphill.

Papa's slippers are still at the door, Nobody moves them, nobody asks what for. They are the last thing he took off, And the house is not ready, and neither is the cough In my throat when I see them.

I got the job he wanted for me, finally, The letter came on a Monday, quietly. I read it twice, then looked for him, Then sat on the floor till the room went dim.

I have his watch, his shirt, his way of standing, His frown, his walk, his way of demanding The truth from a room with a single stare, He is not gone, I carry him everywhere.

Father's Day, and everyone is posting a face, I am posting nothing, I am at the place Where he used to sit with his chai at dawn, Two cups, one drunk, one cold, one gone.

Not a hero in a cape, just a man in a shirt, Who worked, and came home, and never showed the hurt.

My first bike, my first fall, my first stand, All of them start with Papa's hand.

The strongest man I know sleeps at nine, And still wakes before me, every time.

He built the house I now call home, And asked for nothing, not even a phone Call every day, just once a week. Happy Father's Day, you did not need to speak.

Papa, you are the reason I know How to say nothing, and still let it show.

Happy Father's Day to the man who never sat In the front row, and still made sure I was at Every finish line, every stage, every time.

One man, one job, one family, one life, Held together with patience and a wife. Happy Father's Day, Papa, we saw it all.

Papa kabhi I love you nahi bolte, Bas gate pe khade rehte hain jab tak bus na mud jaaye. Unki chuppi mein jo pyaar hai, Wo kisi kitaab mein nahi mil paaye.

Papa ke joote saat saal purane hain, Mere naye hain, har saal ke. Maine poocha kyun, unhone kaha chal rahe hain, Aaj samjha, wo joote nahi, wo mere sapne the.

Papa ne cycle sikhayi haath chhod ke, Main gira, wo khade rahe door se, chup ke. Bole phir se, aur seat nahi pakdi, Aaj apne pairon pe hoon, wahi hai unki ladi.

Papa ki jeb khaali, par meri fees bhar gayi, Unka phone purana, par mera naya aa gaya. Wo kehte hain zaroorat nahi thi, Main jaanta hoon, zaroorat thi, bas unhone kabhi kahi nahi.

Papa ke haath khurdure hain kaam se, Par sar pe rakhein toh sab theek ho jaata hai. Ek thapki, ek nazar, ek chal beta, Itne mein pura bharosa aa jaata hai.

Papa ki kursi khaali hai, akhbaar aata hai, Kisi ne band nahi karwaya, kisi ko yaad nahi aata hai. Shayad hum sab chahte hain ki wo aaye, Aur pooche, aaj ka paper kahan gaya, bhai.

Papa hero nahi hain, cape nahi pehente, Bas subah uthte hain aur raat ko thak ke sote hain. Beech mein jo hai, wo pura ghar hai, Jo unke kandhe pe chupchaap khada hai.
