Kashif’s happiness knew no bounds
He had master degree worth many pounds
Studies finished in entertaining London
He was away to India to have fun fun
Dear to him was Aahil, his brother
They were bosom pals as no other
Kashif had left for UK ten years ago
Aahil was now in a new town and job, lo!
Kashif landed in New Delhi next day
The town he was bound to was far away
On the way in a taxi at a village midway
He stopped for food at a big take-away.
Meal finished, spoke with people around
Enquiries he made and quickly found
The town was another ten miles away
Was getting late but tea was ordered anyway.
Aghast he was to hear people murmur
That Aahil’s wife, beautiful Nilofer
Was inseparable from Prince whom everyone respected
Kashif was shocked and trembling, as expected
His mind in a spin, his anger untamed
He made inquiries, a plan was framed
In an inn for some more days he stayed
A deal to kill Prince by a chauffeur was made
Appointed day over, Kashif went straight
To Aahil’s place with bated breath
Only to find Aahil was shot dead previous evening
And Nilofer – she was her loss bemoaning
Many came to give their last respects, no wonder
Kashif then realised his grave blunder
Prince was Aahil’s pet name for some years
The word ‘Aahil’ meant a prince, he was now in tears
