Baba also sent Chhagan to two other "Meher Melas" in Uttar Pradesh, one at Bagda and another at Khandarka, and later Baba sent him to Kanpur for Baba's birthday celebration. Each time, before Chhagan left, Baba would call him to Meherazad to read out the Hindi speeches prepared by Bhau. Chhagan would read them in the hall, before both the men and women mandali. It was a pastime for Baba, but for Bhau it was one more additional duty. He had to do nightwatch, the Hindi correspondence, be present with Baba in the day, write speeches for Sarosh and Amar Singh Saigal and then Chhagan, besides working on other writings.
One day in mid-November, Baba asked Bhau to write ghazals. Bhau replied, "Baba, it is not possible to write ghazals in Hindi. They can only be written in Urdu or Persian."
Baba said, "What do you take me to be? I am Ustad [the Master]! I taught Ghani to write ghazals, and I will also teach you. But first, try."
So, Bhau tried and wrote almost 200 songs in ghazal form (which were later printed as Meher Geetika ).
Baba liked them, but noted, "These are songs, not ghazals. I will teach you when we're in Guruprasad next summer."
Meanwhile, Baba instructed Bhau to translate Don's The Wayfarers into Hindi, and Bhau began this work.
Baba had actually paved the way for Bhau to write ghazals seven years before when he dictated two ghazals in Hindi to him in 1960, but at that time Bhau never thought Baba would ask him to compose them.
Francis Brabazon also continued to write poems and ghazals in English for Baba.
At the end of each new recitation, Baba would beam with pleasure and, at times, would compliment Francis, "This one is the best you've done. This time you surpassed yourself!"
On Sunday, 26 November 1967, Gajwani brought Jaipuri Qawaal from Bombay to Meherazad as previously arranged. This time, however, only a few persons were called from Ahmednagar to attend, such as Adi, Rustom Kaka and Dhake. The qawaal sang beautiful ghazals from 9:30 until 2:00 P.M., with an hour break in between. Baba enjoyed his performance immensely and commented that the qawaal sang even better than he had before.
Two days later, on the 28th, Baba called Adi, Sarosh, Viloo, Rustom Kaka, Rangole, Bhagirath and Waman for a meeting about his upcoming birthday program.
