LATA,, DILIP AND MUHAMMAD ALI
Lata Mangeshkar
Dilip Kumar
And Muhammad Ali
The human nightingale
The actor king of tragedy
And the best boxer that ever lived.
May God Almighty the Greatest
Bless them all with health and life
Increase their living years on earth
So that I may not be struck by grief
Like million others out there like me
Ameen, Amen, So may it be
O God Merciful Almighty.
In Lata's sweet singing
I find and accept
What William Shakespeare said:
"In sweet music is such art
"Killing care and grief of heart
"Fall asleep or hearing die..."
In Dilip's acting
I find the legend's art
At the pinnacle of excellence.
Never have these eyes and heart of mine
Seen such an actor or performer
Who lives his role and becomes it.
And to what to say about Ali
My very own favourite Muhammad Ali
The boxer who outshines all the rest
That ever stepped inside a boxing ring.
No one can even come close to him
As a boxer in style, wit and form
He rules caring not for hate or scorn
Aye he is what only he can be
The best of the best for centuries.
May these three legends live on
For more and more, more and more
Healthy, happy and carefree
Spreading love, music and joy
Enriching art around the world
And giving hope to generations.
I love you all O my living legends
And from the depths of my heart and soul I say:
May God the Greatest grant me my wish
And may you live on to regale forever more...
