RAINBOW, Poet - Dr. Perwaiz Shaharyar
RAINBOW
Listen children! Do you know?
How does it make a colourful rainbow
When light travels into a droplet
Just like a prism, it causes a rainbow
Listen children! Do you know?
How many colours are required to make a rainbow
Seven colours are needed to make a luminous rainbow
These are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and indigo
Listen children! Do you love rainbow
Yes, I know you love rainbow, I also love rainbow
Because it gives colour in our life
To glow all the times like a rainbow
