MUSIC
When we are sad, gloomy or troubled, it does lull n soothe;
Especially if music is soft, caressing and smooth.
Also when happy, music entertains you, uplifting your spirit.
The freshness I feel after my "riyaaz", to music, I give all the merit.
With classical music scores, to Heaven one can easily soar.
Examples are Tansen, Pt. Jasrajji, Bhimsen Joshiji and more.
Old songs, both in Hindi and in English I with all my heart adore;
They, sweetness into my heart n soul, through my ears pour.
Jim, Engelbert, Harry Bella, Julie Andrews, my favourites are.
Mukesh, Mohd, Manna, Talat, Kishore n Hemant are for ever my stars.
Lataji my most favourite is, her melodies sweet; me haunt n allure.
With Manna Da's whole family, our friendship was rich, loving and pure.
Ahura bless me to write n sing Monajats, Bhajans n songs beautifully well.
May tears, with emotion in every listener's eyes, flow or swell.
Music, if soulful, good n soothing is; then divine it is, indeed.
Parents dear, of good music, in your kids, early sow the seed.
