“The Sax is Silent Today” 13 July 2010


You were the Guru and a guide

musicians and singers

loved to have you by their side

As you blew magic into your saxophone

casting a spell with each melodic tone

Your sax made us laugh and made us cry

The romance in your sax made us sigh

Can we ever say you are no more

Even as you have passed through heaven’s door

For great artistes like you

Can never really die

Even though decades may pass by

Your music will live on in every heart

Never to depart

Every time we hear a sax play

We are sll bound to say

East or West

Manohari da will always remain the best
