Decastich on Actor Dharmendra

Dharam, a star, shining bright,

With a twinkle, so naughty and light.

He'd wink with a grin,

Let the romance begin,

Then quip, "Life's a lark, day and night!"

A gentle soul, kind and true,

With thanks in all that he'd do.

No boastful display,

Just lived day by day,

Now rests, peace shining through.
