A little baby 

wearing white and pink

giggling running around

tugging at my saree

O mother I need more maakhan

 

You had so much 

yesternight right?

then a saddened look

which I know is just to trick me

 

But what can I do?

Such beauty and innocence

is only in this little one

so have as much Maakhan and dahi 

as you want my child

 

Come sit in my lap

let me hold your hair 

so they don’t fall upon 

your face while you devour

let me wipe off dahi from 

the sides of your smile

 

I get worried when I see

so much of food spilled 

all over the floor

You suddenly know 

by the look on my face

and pick it up from ground

all covered in dust 

And lick it with your tiny fingers

giving me that

“you won’t have to clean this now” smile

 

Oh! I am in awe yet again

these little things you do

Your mouth full of buttercream 

has all the mysteries  

of the universes in it

 

Let me caress you, now come

Let me pamper you today my little Kanha

 

Grow up tomorrow 

to fight all the evils 

and wars you want

But not today

Today just stay with me

Play around me

Sleep in my lap  

I’ll sing lories 

all the days and nights

 

Today let me pamper you my little Kanha 🥰
