Afsoos Duniya kansiya' na lob samsaar sity'e
Ch logath soram chachm'n , may koratham dil ubalayee
Nyaree latee'e, bar ch vathiyey'e
Chana'e bar tal ravam racha'e aawaaz vach'e no
Zamanai pokene hamdam
Rozoo rozoo bozoo

Very sad to know about the death of the legend "Ghulam Hassan Sofi". May his soul rest in peace.
I am a big fan of him. It is surely a huge loss for the Kashmiris. But please I request all the Kashmiris to keep alive the Kashmiri Culture and don't let it die.
Thanks
RIP
It is ofcourse a huge loss.. But thats how things are arent they?
