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."
