MELODY QUEEN
Happy Birthday ever dearest, revered Lataji,
One who is specially blessed by Goddess Sarawatiji.
May God bless you with a long, healthy and happy life;
Lots of Happppppinessss and of course, very little be the strife.
Your melodies so soothing are, yet some haunting, n some are lilting;
Your voice, sweeter than a cuckoo's, is mind soothing n heart melting.
Your feelings so intense, after the song, its effect, with us, lasts long.
Tears of joy or sorrow, so easily flow, along with the flow of your song;
Maa Sharda Saraswati has blessed you with a voice, on Earth the sweetest.
Even today, after decades, undoubtedly you are the most melodious, absolutely the best.
May Her blessings continue;
May they always remain with you.
Lataji dearest,
like millions other, I too deeply love you.
