The Old Ball Bend

מילים

[Verse 1] Zaheer Khan, calm before the run, Left-arm fire when the day is young. A measured stride, then the seam cuts through, One clean question aimed at you. [Pre-Chorus] No wasted motion, no need to shout, The batter reads—and the lights go out. [Chorus] Zaheer Khan, make the old ball bend, Late movement waiting around the end. With a quiet eye and a fearless plan, Every over carries the name Zaheer Khan. [Verse 2] At the crease, pressure gathers slow, A clever change keeps the score down low. Yorker searching where the toes begin, A patient spell turns the match within. [Bridge] From the first mark to the final call, He finds the seam, he controls it all. Not just pace, but the mind of the game, A bowler's craft remembered by name. [Chorus] Zaheer Khan, make the old ball bend, Late movement waiting around the end. With a quiet eye and a fearless plan, Every over carries the name Zaheer Khan. [Outro] Zaheer Khan, the run-up fades, But the lesson stays in every crease he made.
