Aashish (Blessings) is a very personal song for me as I wrote this tune after my daughter was born, but I hope it resonates as much with every person who has been blessed with a child.

An Interpretation by Manoj Pandey

AASHISH

Frail colours of the rainbow
make your world, you see.
A dainty flower-like thing
is what you seem to me.

In your tender little steps
I see my tenuous dreams.
In your unsullied smile
I see the clear streams.

The wonder in your eyes
ink the letters in my heart.
As if to say without saying,
May we never be apart.

Never may you ever
lose sight of the way.
May the glories of life
always liven your day.

Win some, lose some,
insist on ploughing on.
Take pride in who you are;
let no one say, ‘you’re done’.

May the wrongs of others
never wrong your life away.
May the light of your happiness
help others find their way.

May this blessing of a father
always bloom your day.
May this prayer of a father
shelter you when I’m away.

May you see the light
even in a glimmer.
Oh my tender little love,
my goddess, my redeemer.

If ever there be beauty
it is only in you I see.
And I’m not the only beholder,
take a look around me.

Embrace the joy of life,
dance to the tune of it,
For there’s nothing more or less
than the heart of its beat.

Dance to the tune of joy,
dance to the song of grief.
For there’s nothing more to life,
Than the phrase, ‘joie de vivre’.
