Rest In Peace O Great
Heartache!
Huge heartache!
No, no, no! Unstoppable the tears!
Everything is good to look but I’m not
I’m dumped into heartache and logged tears
Long sighs, much heart beating in hearing the news!
She is no more! Queen of melody is no more
Nightingale of India is no more; everything is no more!
One of the greatest singing souls is no more; none is more!
I’m utmost beggar in poetic expression; so I live in liege
Good to look the surrounding is but in me no peace
Nowhere is my south breeze, nowhere the dawn chirping birds
Nowhere the blooming flower, nowhere the fragrant mirth
Infectious everywhere with the breathless melancholy
Tone and tune with the lyrics are shocked to expose expiry
Void; irreplaceable emptiness is created in this subcontinent
We’ve lost all before this sunrise and fallen into the awful den
Supreme love, respect and prayers for her greatest departure
Euphonious works will immortalize her in a memorable genre
