They begin with the ghazal of Shri Nathji, which they had sung on Shri Babaji’s Birthday as well:Ai Shaane Jalvaa haa too ab benakaab hojaaO Thou Glory of Light, unveil Thou Thyself,And finally there is the last powerful verse which Priya Nath hopes will apply to the illness that Shri Nathji has taken upon himself as well:Toofaan iss jahaan ke ab khatam ho rahe hainThe storms of this world have ceased to existThe main qawwaal’s son, who is a young boy of eight, and who had sung one of the qawwaalis, is called by Priya Nath to Shri Nathji for his blessings, as also an extra hundred rupees as prasaad.
