Butterfly, by Shashikant Nishant Sharma 'साहिल'

Butterfly

Beauty of a Nature's creature

O butterfly, butterfly

Teach us to fly

We want to reach the sky

Touch the milky moon

And play with stars

O butterfly, butterfly

Teach us how and why

You are so beautiful

We want to beautify

Ourselves like you

And attract attention of all

O butterfly, butterfly

Tell us the way

In which we may

Make ourselves colourful

And we may be playful

We want to be cheerful

O butterfly, butterfly

Tell us the secrets

Of your beauty

Unveil the mystery

How do you fly

We want to fly

Like you beautiful butterfly

O butterfly, butterfly
