He read out his poem composed on the spot, reflecting the unparalleled personality of the departed soul.

Aap ayyi chali geyi

Aap ayi dil to bhardi

Aap ayi dil to bhardi

Pyarse dilto

Aap ayi chali gayi

Aap ayi chali gayi

Pyarse dil to bhardi

Lekin esha ghao kardi

Na dekh sakta hu khabhi

Na dikha sakta hu kisiko

Aap ayi chali gayi

Pyar se dil to bhardi

Lekin esha ghao kardi

Aah aah nikalta hey dilse

Tum etni pyari insane thi

Jaha bhi ho jesheh bhi

Kush raho hamesha hamesha

Dua barsate raho upar se…
