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

महफ़िल


_________________________________________________________________________________

किसे खबर कहाँ  जा रहा हूँ
तुम्हारी महफ़िल में भी तो
भूलकर आया हूँ -

बिन बुलाये आया ये सोचकर
अगर मेरा जाम खाली रहा
तो खैर,
तुम्हारा ये असूल है :

मगर ये भी तो सोचो की
औरोने तुम्हारी महफ़िल को
मैखाना बना रखा है -

जब मैंने जीते जी
अरमानोकी मज़ार  पर
तुम्हारा नाम लिखा है !

क्या तुम्हे ये तो कबूल है ?

Gathering

Who knows where I am going?

Even in your party

I have come here by mistake -

I came uninvited thinking this

if my jam is empty

so anyway,

Your principle is this:

But also think about this

others to your gathering

The kitchen has been prepared -

when i won

at the tomb of Armano

Your name is written!

Do you accept this?

अमानत


_____________________________________________________
सवाल ये नहीं की
कहा तक मै तुज़े  प्यार करता रहूँगा -

सवाल ये है की
कहा तक मै  जिन्दा  रहूँगा !

इस ज़िन्दगी पर मेरा कोई अधिकार नहीं
ये तुम्हारी अमानत है ,
एक न एक दिन
तुम्हे लौटाना है -

अच्छी तरह
इसे सम्हालने की कोशिश में
अगर असफल  रहा
तो क्या  मुझे दोष दोगी ?

तुमसे प्यार करते करते
तुम्हारी अमानत का खयाल
कुछ कम किया
इसका अफ़सोस मुझे नहीं है।

Precious

the question is not

How long will I love you -

The question is

How long will I remain alive?

I have no right on this life

This is your trust,

One or the other day

You have to return -

thorough

trying to handle it

if failed

So will you blame me?

used to love you

take care of your trust

reduced something

I don't regret it.
