Our Souls Dwell Forever
Four hundred days have gone by since your
departure,
Thou art always in all my thoughts like my
own nature.
No one can ever keep thee hidden from my
sight any more,
Many a morn and eve I hear your footsteps
coming ashore.
Thy soul has come within my heart and given
me happiness,
I know not why my life is all shattered living
with emptiness.
Days and nights pass and ages bloom and
fade like flowers,
On many an idle day haven’t I grieved for my
loss for hours.
When I feel tired of waiting I retire to sleep on
my idle bed,
There I dream of all the fond memories you
and I have had.
In the morning when I wake up I find all
emptiness around,
There isn’t a pretty lotus in the pond and the
sweet sound.
All are gone but not forgotten I have a lot to
celebrate now,
I have treasured all your memories but I do
not know how.
All I know that I still love you and continue to
do so forever,
In my hope that the souls of Lakhan and Saroj
dwell forever.
Treasure Her Memories
O God ask the sky to open up but shower a
blessing,
Let the drizzle be so light that her arrival is
pleasing.
When she is with me let the sky pour the
heaviest rain,
So that she finds it hard to leave me in the
pouring rain.
That would be an additional pleasure to
extend my age,
Her eyes would be my mirror to see more of
my image.
Let her pretty face keep twinkling in my eyes
forever,
et my love be blissful and forgiving like a true
lover.
Let there be no disturbance and no one to
bother,
Let me feel the joy of my life come to me
together.
My hugs and kisses for my sweetheart should
hold her,
Let me extend my love to persuade her and
hold her.
To love and to treasure her would be my only
pleasure,
Let no lightning and thunder spoil my lovely
pleasure.
Beauty and lovers have been at loggerheads
always,
Let me strike a balance and honour both as
always.
I made a solemn prayer that she should be all
mine,
I did this because this was a responsibility of
mine.
How fortunate was I when she consented to
my love,
For years we created a family that was full of
our love.
I now regret that I couldn't look after my
treasure well,
Nature took her away so soon to make me feel
unwell.
Life would have been easier for me if we had
never met,
I wouldn't be lonely suffering my pain and
sorrow, I bet.
Now that the unthinkable has happened and
she is gone,
I'll treasure all her fond memories from dusk
to dawn.
That was how well my pretty lotus, my life and
my dear wife,
Groomed me well for fifty five years and
enriched my life.
No one has ever known our secret recipe for
life and living,
It was our instinctual love that made our life
worth living.
My people will love and cherish the life we
proudly spent,
Just a rose on our mantle would provide us
the right scent.

You Were Always There For Me
You were all mine when I needed you for
fitness,
You were my doctor when I felt sick with
illness.
You were my army when I needed your
protection,
You were my umbrella when life rained
detention.
You were my rock when I got weary and tense,
You were my shield when I needed a defence.
You were my spirit when I wanted a fest,
You were my pillow when I needed a rest.
You were my sweet voice whenever I spoke to
you,
You were my open ear when I wanted to hear
you.
You were my comfort when I felt any pain,
You were my heroin when I was lost in vain.
You were my sunshine when darkness fell,
You were my answer when questions dwell.
You were my inspiration to overcome my
hardship,
You held my hands when I needed your
friendship.
You kissed and healed my wounds everyday,
Your 'I love you' each night made all my day.
You were always there for me when I needed
you,
You are no more now when I want and need
you.

There are billions of stars up in the sky
But I see the one that shines the brightest
Her looks are precious and love is true
Similar feelings come from me to you.
