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 तो अब चला



__________________________________________
कितने साँस लेके आया हूँ 
पता नहीं ,

'गर पता है तो ये ,
हर साँस में 
तुम्हारा नाम लेके आया हूँ  !

वो नाम जो ,
ना ज़माना जानता है 
न जानेगा 
वो खयाल लेके जीता हूँ  ;

जाने के बाद 
मुझे तो लोग भूल जायेंगे ,

तुम्हारे जाने के बाद 
किस कदर जिया आज तक 
ये ना जान पाएंगे  !

मैं तो अब चला 
गुमनाम होने ,

तुम्हारा प्यार लेकर 
खुद को गवाने  ;

जो कहे शका न आज तक ,
बार बार 
वही दोहराने  ;

अब चला 
तुम जहां हो 
वहां पहुँच पाने  !

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

I am leaving now

I have taken so many breaths

Don't know ,

'If you know this,

in every breath

I have brought your name!

The name which,

neither the world knows

won't know

I live with that in mind;

After going

People will forget me,

after you leave

how we lived till today

They won't be able to know!

I am leaving now

to be anonymous,

with your love

To lose oneself;

Whatever is said till date,

Frequently

Repeat the same;

let's go now

where you are

To get there!

जी चाहता है



__________________________________________
इजाजत हो तुम्हारी तो 
अब 
सोनेको जी चाहता है ;

जिंदगी तो छूट गयी पीछे ,
अब उम्र को 
अलविदा कहेने को 
जी चाहता है  !

कहाँ तक बेवफाई 
करता रहूं तुमसे  ?

अब 
गुन्हा कुबूल ने को 
जी चाहता है  !

डर  है , 
कईं छूट ना जाये 
तुम्हारी लाज ,
कईं खुल ना जाये 
हमारा राज़  ;

शर्मिन्दा होने से पहले 
ओढ़ कर 
इन गीतों का कफ़न ,
ख्वाबो में तुम्हे मिलना ,

जी चाहता है  !

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

Yes I want

if you have permission

Now

Soneco ji wants to sleep;

Life is left behind,

now to age

to say goodbye

Yes I want!

to what extent infidelity

Should I keep doing it with you?

Now

confessed to the crime

Yes I want!

Fear ,

don't miss out

your shame,

many may not open

Our secret;

before being embarrassed

cover up

The shroud of these songs,

meeting you in dreams,

Yes I want!
