That voice ! The magic everyday recreat'd :
By some genius steer'd and conduct'd,
Thou pour'st forth, in thy manner unmatch'd,
Thy rendition onto which we all be latch'd.

Verily doth trickle forth from thy lips
The nectar for which we do crave;
Thy heavenly potions the poet sips,
And shalt sip on to his ashen grave.

With every verse sung in undulation
In thy voice swaying in modulation,
Thou doth contrive to entrap us more
With thy vocal mastery as ne’er before.

Just some fleeting moments doth thy genius need
To grasp instantly the rendition of thee expect'd;
As in each song by thy voice superbly reflect'd,
Thou sow'st for immortality thy rapturous seed.

For our amazing India art thou a pride,
As thy voice doth float far and wide;
Our daily intoxication do thy songs provide :
In lasting poetry thy glory do we inscribe.

Some be spurr'd on by yon poppy seeds,
Some be possess'd by some groggy liquor,
But, to satisfy their sublime needs,
Many await such voices with tremor.

Enjoy'd the world over by our eager throngs,
Only by Indians could be produc'd such songs ;
Ah, these melodies be render'd by the vocal trick
As can only be concoc't by our unique Alka Yagnik !
