Betiyaan!

I don't know why, but I am a little embarrassed to share this piece with people so kindly be gentle. :)

Mitti se panapte paudhe ko 

jab dil se lagaya kirno ne

Kya samjha tha wo nanhi jaan

Ki jaan hai choti seene mein.

Jab kadam rakha iss duniya mein

Toh khabar na thi us chidiya ko

Ki aaj hai thaame haath jisne

Wo pankh laga ke udaa degi.

Jis beti ko kabhi Lakshmi kaha

Uski dharti nahi, na aasma hai

Ik din usko toh jaana hai

Ik anjaane ke raahon mein.

Maati ki banno kya jaane

Koi apna kahe toh wo maane.

Sab usko dharohar kehte hain,

Wo haath kisi ka kya thaame?

Mann mein sapno ki baati liye

Wo phirti hai har gaon mein

Koi toh bata de dagar use

Wo jag se parayi keh laye.

Ik reet purani kehte hain

Beti ko patang si kehte hain

Jab haath lage toh patjhad mein

patte ki tarah jhad jaati hai,

Wo sabse alag ho jaati hai.
