I
wonder why the grass is green,
मैं आश्चर्यचकित हूं कि घास क्यों हरे होते हैं,
And why the wind is never seen.
और हवा कभी भी क्यों नहीं दिखाई देता है।
Who taught the birds to build a
nest?
चिड़ियों को घोंसला बनाना किसने सिखाया?
And told the trees to take rest?
और पेड़ों को आराम करने को किसने कहा?
O,
when the moon is not quite round,
ओह! जब चन्द्रमा पूरा गोल नहीं होता है तो
Where can the missing bit be
found?
खोया हुआ टुकड़ा कहां पाया जाएगा?
Who
lights the stars, when they blow out,
तारों को कौन चमकाता है जब वे निकलते हैं,
And makes the lightning flash about?
और बिजली को कौन चमकाता है?
Who
paints the rainbow in the sky?
आसमान में इंद्र धनुष को कौन रंगता है?
And hang the fluffy clouds so high?
और हल्के फुल्के बादलों को कौन लटकाता है?
Why is
it now, do you suppose,
ऐसा क्यों नहीं है, यदि तुम मानो,
That Dad won't tell me, if he
knows?
कि पिताजी मुझे नहीं बताएंगे,यदि वे नहीं जानते होंगे?
