Ask me not whether I love you,
My heart shows it as a clear cue,
It's in the glow of my smiles too,
It's what the depth of our rooms knew,
So stop asking, 'cos we aren't new,
You already know my love's true,
Ask me just what you've no clue.
Oh great lion! You're called the king,
You roar; the jungle hears your ping,
Others scamper about in fear,
You then mock their fright with a jeer,
By giving them your stares that sting.

Even no monkey dare to swing,
Rather their screams everywhere ring,
For beasts of many kinds to hear,
Oh great lion!

All stubborn animals you'll wring,
Their bones you rather crush than fling,
So, where you reign none dares come near,
Less would their farewell, others sing.
Oh great lion!
midnight hides a fear
that stops the summer winds' whizz
chills run down my spine
That's the Venice door showered with beauty!
Where loneliness is daily on duty,
By its side, a small pool just sailed two boats,
The occupants are most probably ghosts,
If they're humans, they must be real cuties.

First I saw of this was in Djibouti,
But that was left decrepit and sooty,
So, for elegance that beauty denotes;
That's the Venice door!

The decorations are made quite pretty,
It's like from a last century movie,
Flowers even near the pool that boat floats,
It's the clean surrounding that makes wealth gloats,
Stamps of opulence colors it pretty,
That's the Venice door!
My dinner is often late now,
That's totally against my wish,
It is what I'll never allow,
I have to skip this late night dish,

That's totally against my wish,
I just want to reduce my fat,
I need to make my tummy flat.

It is what I'll never allow,
It's better I sleep with hunger,
I want to start looking younger.

I have to skip this late night dish,
So that I can be more healthy,
With power to be more wealthy.
So, I'm now fine with misty eyes,
Right from my slumber, my heart cries,
With my weary face full of fears,
I still played guitar to my dears,
their smiles made me sigh in disguise.

My moans cajole grief to revise,
Etching joy to place me on highs;
oils of lilacs restored my cheers,
So, I'm now fine.

My newfound joy is a surprise,
Just last night, it waved me goodbyes,
Leaving me with eyes full of tears,
That couldn't be dried by all my peers;
meaning if I fall, I can rise.
So, I'm now fine.
In your life, goodness has its best role,
You made being great looks very cool,
Your success is cherished even by fools,
Your kindness is used as an effective tool.
.
You are more pleasant than being a dreamboat,
Your smartness is deeper than a sugarcoat,
Your goodness flows from coast to coast,
In the ocean of wisdom, your intelligence floats.

Your affectionate smile soothes many hearts,
Your compassion is beyond the fill of carts,
Your comeliness is yet to have copycats,
Your goodness is available at the drop of a hat.

May the blessings of God ever be in your life,
May you eat the fruits of your labour when they are ripe,
May all the efforts of your haters do a swan dive,
May your life be full of melodies as played on bagpipes.
