The visitor

She shed her silvery charms to greet
Peeking through my open bedroom window
With an unspoken message of love and warmth
For words are superfluous when understanding reigns

Khaty Bhai loved Mehdi Hassan or Khan Sahab as he was lovingly referred to. He mentioned none could every come so close to Khan Sahab in Ghazals. He truly was the God of Ghazals.

May Allah look after him, as he is very sick.
