a requiem to an immortal song{a tribute to jagjit singh}

Translated from hindustani[honton ko choo loon main...]

let me touch the lips
let me kiss your songs

with a lifetime of love in my heart
let me follow the ritual
let me kiss your songs

like heartbeats sing forever in my life
let me caress the breath
let me kiss your songs

your world is eternal and i love you
let me live the relationship
let me live your songs

Twinkling Tears

Its her birthday and i don't know what to write.
She grieves.
She is not alone. Her family grieves with her.

She was his "little" darling
The star of his post retirement days
One could feel his love for her
even when he wasn't around

It shone in her eyes.
"Twinkle...twinkle..."

He is gone.
From the outer world to the inner world.
Unseen but felt.
Felt more strongly than ever.

I never met him
Yet I feel his presence more than I ever did in my daydreams.

Yes, she was his "little" darling-
My "little princess"

And she grieves
I know
And I can do nothing.

How can I even wish her a "happy birthday"???
