Saira Banu recites another Urdu couplet. It read, “Uth Apni Jumbish-E-Mizgaan Se Taaza Kar De Hayaat, Keh Ruka Ruka Qadam-E-Qayenaat Hain Saqi.” (My loved one is in slumber so my entire world is still. I implore him to stir awake so that the world comes alive again with his movement of waking up.)

“Till this day, I feel he is with me, and no matter what, we will still walk the path of life together- hand in hand- one in our thoughts and being until the end of time. Dilip Sahib has been that iconic guiding light for my life. And all those generations who have stepped forward in their lives, exemplified by his gracious presence and personality. He has been the greatest actor ever, a great human being, a true picture of humility with dignity,” she states.
