Sillysong for Monday






Tell me truly, what makes the potter - 
the turning wheel or the final pot
and what if the kiln is cooler or hotter
and all that effort comes to nought?

 

What changes the ploughman to a farmer
the furrows neat, or the golden crop
and is a soldier victory or armour
or should I let this argument drop?

 

I feel the beat that moves the dancer
maybe it’s her grace makes the beat throb
think on it and give me an answer
are results key, or plugging the job?

    1. Padne aur tippani ke liye bahut shukriya. Aap pade humein khushi hui, lekin humein Hindi kuch khas nahi aati, pad lete hain, likhne me kaafi kamzor, ghalatiyan maaf karein.
