i still remember, dat stary nights...
which i used to spend on mah roof...
still remember counting d star...
one night i name dem all

whole night awake under d glittering star...
used to sleep, seeing d mars at red..
getting late 4 every class...

still i remember the day,10 july 1994
ask d da what d preasant i beg
its mah 5th bithday offcourse

given me d kiss
i still feel d warmth, benath his face
yes mah boy definately u will...

next night benath my bed
dere lies a black bag
i opened it without a lag
its a rod, wid glassy whole
oh mah god what is dis...

my father replied its ur moon beta....
