Consoling the nightingale

You are yourself a statement! You are a talent, a ghazal, a song, and when any artist goes to the Parliament, we go there as representatives of that film Industry which has you in it. We are able to voice our opinions thanks to your blessings. Does the royalty ever do all the work themselves? Never!”
