The lines are taken from the poem "Night of the Scorpion" by Nissim Ezekiel.
A mother loves her children more than herself. She is ready to sacrifice all her joys and comforts for the sake of the children. She prefers to suffer the pain herself instead of letting her children suffer. She is unmindful of her own suffering and is happy that her children are safe.
The poet's mother exhibits these qualities and is grateful that the scorpion spared her children.
