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,

मैं तुम्हारा देवता नहीं


______________________________________________________

तुम कहेते हो की तुम
हमारे बारे में सोचते रहेते हो ;

हम कैसे माने ?

जब ये कभी नहीं बताया की
क्या सोचते हो !

मगर मैं बताके रहूंगा
मैं क्या सोचता हु  -

बारमासी के इस फूल की
बनाके माला
तुमारे गले में डालना चाहूँगा ,

फिर ,
एक और बार
तुमारे कानो में दोहराना
चाहूँगा ,
कही है जो बात हज़ार बार ,

" मै तुम्हे चाहता हूँ  -
  चाहे पत्थर बनाके गाड दो ,

  मैं तुम्हे सराहता हूँ ;

  अगर हो शके ना  ओठ से
  पैर से ही छू लो ,

  मैं तुम्हारा देवता नहीं
  तुम्हारे राह की धूल
  बनना चाहता हूँ  "

I Am Not Your God

you say that you

You keep thinking about us;

How should we agree?

When it was never told that

What do you think !

but I will keep telling you

What do I think

of this perennial flower

making a garland

I would like to put it around your neck,

Then ,

one more time

repeat in your ears

would like,

What has been said a thousand times,

"I want you

  Even if you make a stone and bury it,

  I appreciate you;

  If it is possible with the lips

  just touch it with your feet,

  I am not your god

  dust in your path

  "wanna be"

हज़ारो मिल के फांसले



_________________________________________________________________________________


येह एस्सेन ,

यहाँ की बादले गरजती नहीं
क्यूंकि
यहाँ की धरती तरसती नहीं  ;

मेरे - तुमारे बिच है
हज़ारो मिल के फांसले

हो भी जायेंगे
मेरी वफ़ाओ के फ़ैसले ;

मैं हूँ
तुमारी धडकती हुई सांसो में
छूपा हुआ तूफ़ान ?

के
पिघलते बर्फो की चट्टान  ?

Thousands Of Miles Away

This essence,

The clouds don't thunder here

because

The earth here does not crave;

between me and you

thousands of miles away

will also happen

The decisions of my loyalties;

I am

in your throbbing breaths

Hidden storm?

Of

Melting ice rock?
