"I am writing this note on the 7th of July to especially express my gratitude to the overwhelming multitude of caring well-wishers and dearest friends from the world over who have so tremendously swept me off my feet till today with their everlasting remembrance, love and respect for my Kohinoor, Dilip Kumar Sahib. This is the day, “7th of July” at “7 am” when time stood still, and my loved one slid into a deep slumber. I pleaded with the Almighty that, ‘Sahib’, as I always called him should react to one of his favourite couplets. Uth Apni Jumbish-E-Mizgaan Se Taaza Kar De Hayaat Keh Ruka Ruka Qadam-E-Qayenaat Hain Saqi."
