---------------------------------------
Ek chhota beej, Jameen ke under tha
Aankh band kar ke, wo soya rahta tha.
Tupur Tupur baarish, beej pe girti thi
Sarakta sarakta sarakta, wo sarakta chala gaya
Ek samay aaya, suraj nein prakash dala
Prakash ki kirnein boli, bahut so chukka
Beej nein li angrai, fir wo ooth gaya.
Idhar-udhar dekh kar wo nachne laga.
Aaj wo paudha, Vriksh mein badal gaya.
Aas-paas gaon mein wo chhaon dene laga
Haan haan chhaon dene laga
--------------------------------------
Watermelon- watermelon- watermelon
Watermelon- watermelon- watermelon
Watermelon is fresh and juicy
Quenches all our thirst
Watermelons are so fleshy
I think they’re going to burst!
