Fallen Rosemary
No valiance in surrender, no resistence, no fight,
The fall was a historical verdict.
Thus ended a lyricist, a mushaira.
The Rosemary in the scorching Sun--
Divested of powers. Now he a nothing.
A faint shadow of Akbar, of Shah Jahan,.
A hapless old man ended in exile.
The last of the Mughal glory in exile.
A terrible end. Begging bowl in hand.
The descendant Bahadur Shah.
A deciderated wish to become Genghis Khan, Timur...
A futile wish.
The last of Mughal never resisted ..No fight
Meek submission.
Caught in Rangoon, you know he was Zafar!
Zafar means victory!
He was a lyricist, but his sword was rusted.
His high mansion crumbled.
Naturemade the verdict, a merciless verdict.
And it was mercilessly implemented.
The fall was a historical verdict.
Thus ended a lyricist, a mushaira.
The Rosemary in the scorching Sun--
Divested of powers. Now he a nothing.
A faint shadow of Akbar, of Shah Jahan,.
A hapless old man ended in exile.
The last of the Mughal glory in exile.
A terrible end. Begging bowl in hand.
The descendant Bahadur Shah.
A deciderated wish to become Genghis Khan, Timur...
A futile wish.
The last of Mughal never resisted ..No fight
Meek submission.
Caught in Rangoon, you know he was Zafar!
Zafar means victory!
He was a lyricist, but his sword was rusted.
His high mansion crumbled.
Naturemade the verdict, a merciless verdict.
And it was mercilessly implemented.
