A baritone thunder across the celluloid screen,
where quiet conviction meets grace ever green.
From Allahabad’s lanes to the throne of the stage,
he scripted a lifetime, a monument, an age.
Eighty-four years of a deep, living art,
still beating in rhythm with millions of hearts.
May health walk beside him and peace claim his nights,
while cinema basks in his lingering light.
