LET THE BABY COME
D. V. Sahani
Let the baby come
Let not stop its coming
It’s existence’s dream
That time has realized
It’s generation’s cream
It’s nation child
It’s to-day’s bliss
Tomorrow’s hope
That we cannot miss
It’s life’s beat
And nation’s throb
It embodies in itself
The wisdom of ages
And has imbibed
The sayings of the sages
It’s the morn
That heralds a new era
It’s the Kanhaiya and the Mira
It’s the Nehru and the Gandhi
The Mohammad and the Nanak
It’s the Mullah and the Allah
It’s the Ferry and the Sailor
Our star and our guide
To cross the sea far and wide
Let’s not say it’s nothing
In itself it combines everything.
