Mukesh: The flow of words from his lips was like pearls, unique in his style; no one could sing the way Mukesh did. With the right diction, inflexion and intonation. His vocal timbre was out of this world.
As a fan of Mukesh Ji I intend to portray following verses depicting my feelings for Mukesh (bless him):-
jinhein hum bhoolna chaahein, wo aksar yaad aate hain
buraa ho is mohabbat kaa, wo kyon kar yaad aate hain
(Even if we try to forget Swargiye Mukesh, we cannot
'cause to us love for him, his heritage of songs means a lot.)
bhoolaayen kis tarah un ko, kabhee pee thee un aankhon se
chhalak jaate hain jab aansoo, wo saagar yaad aate hain
(How could we forget him? for he lived to entertain folks
our eyes are tearful, hearts sorrowful as he no more rocks)
kisee ke surkh lab the yaa diye kee lau machaltee thee
jahaan kee thee kabhee poojaa, wo mandar yaad aate hain
(Those melodious words from his throat and lips, soulful
the cinema the stage, when he performed thronged with people.)
rahe aye shammaa too roshan duwaa detaa hain parwaanaa
jinhe kismat mein jalnaa hain, wo jalkar yaad aate hain
(May his songs keep alive like many candles, pray his listeners
till his last breath he entertained, memorable by his admirers.)
