SING OUR SOULS FOR YOU

 


SING OUR SOULS FOR YOU.....


Alas! You bloomed like a soft Shiuli and dropped down at dawn,
You poured happiness like a fleeting shower on our bereaved life's lawn,
You visited us like an unexpected and unforgettable Angeles guest,
And you left us indebted blessing us to win life's every stiff, inscrutable Test!

May you ever shine like the Morning Sun in the eastern Sky,
May you ever smile like a water lily like the Full moon serene, silvery and shy,
May you leap like a lively lamb in the meadows of our hearts,
May you endure till eternity like one of Nature's most enchanting arts!

O Dhan, this is song that sing our souls and will keep singing for you forever,
Yes, you will ever remain inseparable from us like a life and its inevitable liver!
