Peepal Ke People

My story you shall read, then you shall know
How I grow from root to fruit
My tree is a team of many-many parts
Each has a role distinctly apart

I was dug in the soil, watered everyday
Under the pleasant shine of the sun ray
One fine day green leaves sprouted
Ah! Here I come, with pride I shouted

The gardener hunched and squatted
And I never doubted
With beads of sweat rolling down his face
Tools in his hands gave him an Emperor’s grace

Now I have started to grow like a little plant
Strong roots, leaves, flowers to flaunt
Weeds are sieved, I am healthy
And I shall grow up hale and hearty

Oh! Look at me now, I am touching the sky
Dainty leaves are rushing to fly
My trunk is a thick log of wood
I’m feeling very-very good

Today my friends have built a nest inside
And jumbled kalavas, human have tied
I bear fruits to everyone
And give shelter in the scorching sun

Peepal  ke people are very selfless souls
Helping others is their goal
