For eighteen days, several years ago Mountains, snow, temples and streets You were my guide For the beauty of Nepal Crowded markets, salesmen and soldiers Villages, rivers, forests and cliffs I was entranced by your country The vibrant culture, so alien to my own We wished each other farewell, we will meet again one day friend I left, returning to my first world life You moved to Spain, found love, found happiness Thought life had other plans, and cancer struck you down Never again will your smile charm a tourist I didn't say farewell But we will meet again one day Of that I'm sure for my friend Saroj, thank you for the amazing experience in Nepal Rest in peace

For Saroj
For eighteen days, several years ago Mountains, snow, temples and streets You were my guide For the beauty of Nepal Crowded markets, salesmen and soldiers Villages, rivers, forests and cliffs I was entranced by your country The vibrant culture, so alien to my own We wished each other farewell, we will meet again one day friend I left, returning to my first world life You moved to Spain, found love, found happiness Thought life had other plans, and cancer struck you down Never again will your smile charm a tourist I didn't say farewell But we will meet again one day Of that I'm sure for my friend Saroj, thank you for the amazing experience in Nepal Rest in peace
