Tribute To a True Journalist
When, like your own very death, you hear,
Early morning, in an unexpected hour;
That a person who you have been seeing,
Every day, as a journalist, and admiring;
His realistic reporting on things and events,
As original as they are with full commitments;
Is no more and you'll not hear him anymore,
And his soul toward highest heavens sore…
.....................................
................................................
This was what I felt when I heard the demise,
Of Kamal Khan, of N.D.T.V, who suddenly dies…
.....................................
................................................
I’ve seen him calling a spade a spade,
None could dare, his genuineness, invade;
A person with deeply reflected insights,
On society, religion and vivacious politics;
He stood out unique for his perspectives,
His great expression of words and verses;
A generous person, and a loving human,
Who enjoyed hilly truth; little mammon…
.....................................
................................................
May his soul Rest In Peace I pray,
May he enjoy his heavenly stay...!
May he report to us what’s really above,
May his truthfulness inspire us, truth, to love…!
