Kouwa, Aur Gaao Mere Liye….. Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Kouwa, Aur Gaao Mere Liye…..
Kaali kouwa baithi hain oonchi daal pe
Gaati hain eh dam ghatiya
Lekin sunte sunte tum rah jaaye us mein nimagna…
Kaale moti jaise aankhom se
Woh nirnimesh khurkar tumhein dekkhti hain
Aur tum sochne lage, tum kaun ho
Door us daal par baithi kaali panjchi
Aur gaao mere liye tera kharaab bhadda yeh gaana.
