ALLAH ONLY

Rita of Ohio and India's Ramola
Becky -- the good soul, Rebecca
Louisa -- who was my best friend's love
And impressive, little Jessica.
Talath, loved and deceived by B.K.
Parveen Shakir and Nazia,
Neena Geera and Shehneela,
All of you, I hope, are okay.
Almas Alam and Julie Thomson
You two must be grandmas
Saira of Shazi along with Shafaq
Must be also "Daadi Ammas".
I see Madhubala, young as ever
And so shall she always be for me
The good die young -- she proved it
By living for others and going boldly.
Now I have a woman who loves me
"More" she asserts, "than the others"
Well, time will tell and reveal the truth
This pilgrim, adores most, Allah only.
