Near the crackling fire

For Col Ajaypal Singh Attre, a coursemate.

What's on the other side,

I do not know.

May you find a place

Near the crackling fire,

And the friends who went ahead

With a bottle of Rum

(Whatever it's called there).

Don't worry too much about

Who you left behind,

Or, what rhapsody you left behind.

For you have earned your peace,

And a piece of heaven.

Om Shanti!
