I have a friend who would like the lyrics (Hindi and English translation) to a song that their mother used to sing to them when they were a child. All they know of the song is that there is a version sung by Lata Mangeshekar, and the opening lyrics are …

Tu hi mera mandil
Tu hi mera pooga
Tu hi deva ta ho

If anyone can help with the song title, the film it was from, the Hindi lyrics or the English translation I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you.

Hope this helps:

Movie : Khandaan
Song : Tumhin Mere Mandir

tumhiin mere mandir, tumhiin merii puujaa, tumhiin devataa ho
U r my temple, u r my prayer, and u only rt the god

koii merii aaNkhon se dekhe to samajhe, ki tum mere kyaa ho
somebody looking at my eyes will understand wat u mean to me

tumhiin mere mandir, tumhiin merii puujaa, tumhiin devataa ho
U r my temple, u r my prayer, and u only rt the god

jidhar dekhatii huuN udhar tum hii tum ho
wherever i see, i see u and u
na jaane magar kin khayaalon mein gum ho
but dont know in which thoughts u r lost

mujhe dekhakar tum zaraa muskuraa do
jus smile by looking at me
nahiin to main samajhuuNgii, mujhase Kafaa ho
otherwise i will think, u are upset at me

tumhiin mere mandir, tumhiin merii puujaa, tumhiin devataa ho
U r my temple, u r my prayer, and u only rt the god

tumhiin mere maathe kii bindiyaa kii jhil-mil
u r the spot of my forehead

tumhiin mere haathon ke gajaron kii manzil
u r the destination of the flowers in my hand
main huuN ek chhoTii-sii maaTii kii guDiyaa
i m a smalll doll of mud
tumhiin praaN mere, tumhiin aatmaa ho
u r my life and soul

tumhiin mere mandir, tumhiin merii puujaa, tumhiin devataa ho
U r my temple, u r my prayer, and u only rt the god

bahut raat biitii chalo main sulaa duuN
most of the might has gone let me take u to sleep
pavan chheDe sargam main lorii sunaa duuN
the air will back me up for lt m sing the lullabye
tumhein dekhakar yah Kayaal aa rahaa hai
looking at u i m gting thoughts
ki jaise farishtaa koii so rahaa hai
as if some god is sleeping

tumhiin mere mandir, tumhiin merii puujaa, tumhiin devataa ho
U r my temple, u r my prayer, and u only rt the god

Trans by someone, had in my files and most willing to share:
