How can I forget you!
How can I forget you, Sindhi koel, Sindhi koel
Whose smile is so charm-able
How can I forget you, whose music and tune
Whose sweet voice is a croon,
Melodious Bhagwanti Navani, the Sindhi disco empress
How can I forget you, the humble one of love
Whose music has crazed the entire world
How can I forget you, the princess of beauty
Who sang songs to bid farewell to lassies
Be it bhajan or kalaam, Sukhmani Sahib,
laadaa, doheera, oraana, sehraa
Lorees and Saakhis you have sung
Making Sindhiyat evenings radiant
How can I forget you, Sindhi starlet
In whose company are all affectionate
Be it any occasion,
The “Sindhi Lata Mangeshkar’s” rendition
Has such an effect
That “RadhaBekhabar” becomes an infatuate.
