                        KISHORE  KUMAR  (10)

Master ! So much gift'd self-composure,
So much of thy own terrific measure
Doth thou infuse into every languishing song,
To stab us more with some enslaving prong.

Every verse stretching on like some voluptuous vine,
Laden with the very stuff of some intoxicating wine;
Every tone, every melody, design'd to conquer,
And, ne’er once doth thy masterly voice falter.

A gift'd singer for all possible seasons,
A supreme guide like some unerring warden,
Luring us steadily into some heavenly garden
That closes behind us like a myriad of prisons.

Condemn'd to drink of thy elixir a daily dose,
The taste of which defies all verse and all prose,
We find ourselves caught in some unending circle :
A timeless melody increasing tenfold with each ripple.

Thy very voice, master, be a full-blown orchestra,
Commanding attention like some lord most ultra;
Upon thee, master, always do we converse,
As we do moan in our languishing verse.

Thou took along with thee thy vocal treasure,
A marvel made uniquely for thy own measure;
A gift bestow'd upon thee, and thee only,
And not to be squander'd imprudently.

In all places, near and far,
Thy voice hath spann'd this universe,
But afore death doth seize our verse,
Accept our song, master, Kishore Kumar !
