On small songs

I made a small small song
I sang it all night long
All through
The wind and rain
Until the morning came

This song is my small song
I sang it all night long
And when
The morning came
I had to start all over again

My song is so so small

on making her smile…

ਤੇਰੀਆ ਖੁਸ਼ੀਆ ਨਾਲ ਮੁਸਕਰਾਉਣ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਅ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ…
ਤੇਨੂੰ ਦਰਦ ਹੋਵੇ ਤਾ ਅੱਥਰੂ ਬਹਾਉਣ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਅ ਕਰਦਾ…
ਤੇਰੀ ਮੁਸਕਾਨ ਹੀ ਇੰਨੀ ਪਿਆਰੀ ਲੱਗਦੀ ਆ ਸੱਜਨਾ…
ਕਿ ਬਾਰ ਬਾਰ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਹਸਾਉਣ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਅ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ…

terian khushian naal muskuraun nu jee karda hai
tenu dard hove taan athru bahaun nu jee karda hai
teri muskaan hi inni pyari lagdi hai sajna
ki baar baar tenu hasaun nu jee karda hai
