Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Sunday 19 November 1978

ज़माना क्या गायेगा ?


______________________________________________________

मेरे कवित
जब हो शके ना
तुम्हारे गीत ,

ज़माना क्या गायेगा  ?

        उठी ना तर्रन्नुम
        तुम्हारे ओठ से ,

उंगलिया तुम्हारी
क्यूँ रुक गई
छू कर
मेरे ह्रदय के साज़ को  ?

        ज़माना क्या दोहरायगा
        तरज़ लिखही जो मैंने  ?

रहे खामोश पायल
जब तुम्हारे ,

छोड़ के कवित मेरे
बेसहारे

What Will The World Sing?

My Poems

Whenever Possible

Your Song ,

What Will The World Sing?

Did You Wake Up?

From Your Lips,

Your Fingers

Why Did You Stop

By Touching

To The Instrument Of My Heart?

Will The World Repeat Itself

What Lines Have I Written?

Stay Silent Payal

When Yours,

Leave My Poems

Destitute

Sunday 12 November 1978

खामोशी से क्यूँ भरते हो


________________________________________________________________________________

तुम ना आओंगे
ये भी क्या सच हो शकता है  ?

कभी
बहुत कम कभी
तो मिलते हो  !

       कौन सी थी वो
      आखरी बार ,
      मिलाके आँख से आँख
      आपने देखा था ?

जब ग़मो  से हम ना डरे ,
मिलन की वो चन्द घडियां
खामोशी से क्यूँ भरते हो  ?

        मेरी - तुम्हारी
        और कौन सी दुनिया है  ?
==================================

Why are you filled with silence?

you will not come

Can this also be true?

Sometimes

rarely ever

So see you!

which one was that

Last time ,

eye to eye

Did you see it?

When we are not afraid of sorrow,

those few moments of meeting

Why are you filled with silence?

mine - yours

Which other world is it?

==============================

कौन रोकेगा मुज़े


_________________________________________________________________________________
चाहा अगर मुक्कदर ने
मिले ना तुम्हे इस जहां में ,

कौन रोकेगा मुज़े
मौत की मंज़िल पर
मिलने से तुम्हे  ?

वादा नीभाओंगे  ?

===========================

Who Will Stop Me

If Mukkadar wanted

I found you in this place,

who will stop me

on the verge of death

By meeting you?

Will you keep your promise?
