NEVER SHALL IT END - THIS EXISTENCE OF OURS

A very touching Ghazal, Urdu Poem, written by my father HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) in 1985 and sung by me at the time he wrote it. HH Shri Bhola Nathji wrote about 30,000 Ghazals in the Urdu Language between the ages of 80 -90, the largest number ever written by any poet of the time.
All his Urdu Lyrics were written during periods of acute illness, but resonated with optimism for humanity and an inner divine bliss which remained with him all the time. His incredibly beautiful personality, full of love and compassion for humanity, shone with a light divine which gave him an unearthly glow. People experienced God in him. He gave peace and beatitude to countless folk relieving them of their ills and sorrows.
He called himself "The Servant of the Earth" and it was his voice:
"I have no mission except love in this world.
My mission is love and my work is love."
============================================================
English Translation of the Ghazal: Urdu Lyrics in Song
Never shall it come to an end- this existence of ours,
It shall remain perennially green this garden of ours,
All the Bliss in the world is to be found here, all the peace,
On a new Foundation doth rest this world of ours,
We have come into this world and know not when we must leave,
It is but a two days's stay in this world, this abode of ours
It has come into every heart, it is loved by every heart,
In this perishable world, this voice of ours,

People lack the time or else they would find the All Merciful,
This is the message that I have to give with all the power of my words
This spark of Love has lit the entire earth,
Ask of the moth and it shall know of this secret of ours,
O Nath, thy world now has a beautiful and blissful Face,
It has been revealed upon all this revelation of ours!
