"My Child, please eat your food!" - Raga Jhinjhoti, Madhyalaya Teentaal


(A Father's Day special composition, dedicated to my twin toddlers)
ललना तुम खाना खा लो ना!
क्यूँ ऐसो हम पे रूठ गयो? || धृ || 
भूख लगी, बड़े जोर की,
खारा नहीं तो खीर सही!
'नादरंग' करे बिनती, सुनलों ना, मानलों ना, खा लो ना! || १ ||

Meaning

My child, please eat your food! Why are you being cranky?
You are so hungry - if you don't want savory, you can have this sweet 'Kheer'. 'Naadrang' begs of you, please listen to me and eat your food!
