In the city of dreams I wake with closed eyes Tread leisurely on the moonlit skies I, softly pick up a few stars, Adorn my robe of desires high Suddenly Moon I come across Which feels so cool and so nigh I wish to caress its bright luminous rim And extend my eager fingers Towards his beams so slim The moment I touch it A star close to it suddenly cries Pushes my hand away in a single flight I start and stare at that tiny cherub of light Who visibly scared insecurely pleads "Please stay away from my only pride" Gosh ! Is it same here as on earth? We possess what we love Be it heaven or our hearth! At once, I feel my feet slipping And an urge to be with my 'My pride' Takes hold of me tight With a shock I wake up In the city of reality I ponder over the dream And my lips curve in a smile In the city of dreams I wake with closed eyes Tread leisurely on the moonlit skies I, softly pick up a few stars, Adorn my robe of desires high Suddenly Moon I come across Which feels so cool and so nigh I wish to caress its bright luminous rim
