My Dear Papa,
You were my biggest supporter, silent admirer, an honest critic and that was my real strength. Whatever I possess today is all because of you. I owe you a great debt for bringing me in this beautiful world and bestowing your love on me throughout your life, for preaching me the moral values and family ‘sanskaar’, and for making me healthy and wealthy. I can never repay your debt, all I can reciprocate is my love and respect to you.
I was happily spending my time with you and was enjoying your company when you started living with us in June 2018. I am little disappointed that you left us little early on this day (11 Sep 2018). Few more years I wish i would have served you, lived with you, laughed with you, many things were still to learn.
Anyway it was all decided by God. I have gradually accepted this bitter truth of life and learned to keep you in my prayers all the time. I assure you that i have taken full responsibilities of entire family and its associates to take their good care the way you were doing, alongside I am taking good care of myself too while enjoying my life at its fullest. You may please continue to rest in peace till your next destination decided by Lord “Brahma”. Keep guiding me and paving my path with your blessings. You will always stay in my heart.
जिन्दगी तो कट ही रही है मेरी आपके बाद भी,
मगर आप के बिन जीने में अब वो बात नही,
यूँ तो हर तरफ़ अब भी मेरे अपने ही अपने है…
मगर आप जैसा मज़बूत अब कोई मेरे साथ नही।
ग़लतियाँ बहुत होती है मुझसे आपके बाद भी,
डाँटकर गले लगाने वाली सज़ा कोई दे पाता नहीं,
यूँ तो ख़ुश हूँ आज भी मैं मेरी माँ के साथ…
मगर आपसे जिद करने वाला मज़ा अब आता नही।
Missing you a lot my dear Papa!
Yours Lovely Son,
आपका नवाब ‘मंटू’।
