This article contains a critiqued and scrutinized analysis of his children's poetry (Punjabi) along with the general literary behavior of poets and the public towards Children's literature/poetry. Children's poetry is not an easy task to do. It requires a unique set of mind. Here, in this article, it is tried to discover how successfully he justified himself as a Children's Poet.
