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,

तेरे मेरे दरमियाँ


________________________________________

तेरे मेरे दरमियाँ
एक ज़िन्दगी और
दो  मौत का फांसला हैं

हर सुबहा  की एक शाम होती हें

तब ये सोच के मन को  सराहता हूँ की
चलो, फांसला कुछ तो कट गया !

फिर गमों के अन्धेरोवाली रात मै
कराहता हूँ की
अब तो बहुत फांसला रह गया !

परबत होता तो तूफां होके  टकरा जाता ,
मगर ये तो
दुनियाँ की रसमों का दरियाँ हैं
तेरे मेरे दरमियाँ ;

ये तय नहीं कर पायेंगे इस  जनम  में
मेरे कसमों की कश्ती को
तुम्हारे प्यार का पतवार हैं ?

मगर जब
हर शाम की सुबह होती हैं
तब लगता हैं फांसला उतना ही बाकी हैं
जितना एक ज़िन्दगी
और दो  मौत के बीच

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

Between You And Me

one more life

there is a distance of two deaths

every morning has an evening

Then I appreciate the mind thinking that

Well, at least the distance has been cut!

Then in the dark night of sorrow

I moan that

Now there is still a lot of distance left!

If there was a mountain, it would have collided with a storm.

but this

are the traditions of the world

Between you and me;

We will not be able to decide this in this life.

to the boat of my oaths

Is the rudder of your love?

but when

every evening is morning

Then it seems like the distance is still the same

as much as one life

and between two deaths
