There resides Vakil Saheb.
He resides in
Deed of one and duty of another,
In patience of one and courage of another,
In duty of one and leadership of another,
In softness of one and sweetness of another,
In the conduct of one and thought of another,
In the dream of one and resolve of another,
In the song of one and learning of another,
In the emotion of one and disposition of another,
In the devotion of one and energy of another,
In the attitude of one and aptitude of another,
In the movement of one and mind of another,
In the doctrine of one and guidance of another,
In the pity of one and inspiration of another –
He resides in we all
In one or the other form.
This auspicious day, we all ought to
Look within us and
Let us bridge our life with Vakil Saheb there,
In harmonious voice,
We shall surely hear
The soft ringing of eternity…eternity…eternity,
The resolve of get up and be awake,
With contentment of sacrifice for the nation,
And non-entity of the self.
In the same way, we should invent his existence within us,
and we take a vow in this music programme devoted to him:
• When sentiments emerge in the form of words, poetry
is created.
• When sentiments touch the instrument as creation,
music is generated.
• When sentiments become expressionless, a sea of tears
overflows.
We have to carry the sentiment on the path of duty, we
have to proceed on the path of action, and we have to resolve
for it.
It is our tribute, our homage.
