Analysis of Dance with me

Sara Zehan 2002 (Karachi)



dance with me, sad little thing
let your feet follow
the rhythm of everything blue
sway with me, lost little thing
with your head turned upward
and your heart towards me
sing with me, troubled little thing
let your eyes follow
everything that is sweet
a child with his mother
lovers on the street
a lonely cloud
floating towards east
