His first love was for Meena Kumari
when her Pakeeza was on the silver screen,
she accepted his love and sent him a gift pack:
a feeding bottle with a tin of baby food
Then came Waheeda Rahman
to guide his jeene ki tamanna;
her presentation kit included
a set of baby dress and a toy gun
As Sarada was the epicenter
of sorrows and the pipe line of tears,
Sharmila Tagore was his next choice,
her gift of tricycle was his first vehicle.
When he was at the age of dreaming,
Hema Malini came as a dream girl
with Rekha always accompanying her,
every morning he swept away his broken dreams
He himself arranged Romeo
to elope with Laila
and Majnu (Qaiz) with Juliet,
He became the hero of the society
Pyar kiya tho darna kya
he was not matured enough to hear that line
coming from his childhood Anarkali,
who was still behind the stone walls of social evils

I would like to translate this poem
A beautiful tribute to the filmy generations and a sweet love poem to be dedicated to the world of lovers who never mature till death.
