A Bare Message Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

(An Acrostic Tribute To Mehdi Hassan)

Mellowness of your melodies will remain
Ever, forever in the world with us all behind,
Heighten the romantic minds more and more,
Devotees will seek you with wet-eyes around
Identifying you in winds and waves of sound.

Hearts surge on demise with the torrent of pain,
Assuring, you are a resident of the celestial-plain.
Sweet is fragrance you have sprinkled behind,
Sonorous your songs impart us a bare message,
Aloft is the abode of Man, we are to pass away,
Never-ending world beckons us all thrice a day.
