Lately I took some interest in politics

And contested for the local body

Not to play the sullied game politicians play

But to do some good to

The people of Nai Bazar, a small town

But I lost

I lost but have no regrets

They say to learn something

You have to ‘learn to fail or fail to learn’

I failed but what I gained is inestimable

I lost because my campaign was at low key

My thrust was on personal touch

And I met almost ever family of this town

They all showed their allegiance to me

‘Dil Se’ was the leit motif of my campaign

And people developed a fond for it

It was on the tongue of every person

Which way I passed

People smiled and uttered ‘Dil Se’

Here I reproduce it:

Aap Sab Ko Mera Salam Namaste – Dil Se

To all of you Salam Namaste – by heart

Aaiyeye Hamare Saath – Dil Se

Come together – by heart

Aaiye Saath Saath Chalen – Dil Se

Let us march together – by heart

Camera Par Mohar Lagain – Dil Se

Cast your vote on camra - by heart
