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,

मानो बहारे भी रुक गयी !



_________________________________________
जब तक तुम आयी 
तब तक अन्धेरा था ,
रातों में मेरी 
तन्हाईओं का बसेरा था  ;

आने से तुम्हारे 
सुबह आयी ,

अँधेरे दिल के हटाके 
हर कोने में ,
तुम्हारे प्यार की 
रौशनी छायी  !

मानो बहारे भी
जिभर के तुम्हे देखने 
जैसे रुक गयी  !


शिकवा है तो ये की 
फासला  निगाहों का 
क्यों बना रखा  ?


अब आँखों से उलझ गयी हो 
तो कैसे समजाऊँ ,
तुम्हारा नाम लेते ही ,
दिलमे ,
हज़ारो चराग 
जल उठते हैं  !

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

It seems as if even the spring has stopped!

until you came

By then it was dark,

my nights

It was an abode of loneliness;

 

since your arrival

morning came,

 

remove the darkness from the heart

in every corner,

of your love

There was light!

 

as if outside

I would love to see you

Like it stopped!

 

 

The lesson is that

distance of eyes

Why did you keep it?

 

 

now you are entangled with your eyes

So how can I explain?

As soon as I take your name,

in heart,

thousands of lamps

Get jealous!

कौन समजेगा



__________________________________________
मेरी आह को आवाज़ नहीं ;

ज़माना ने देखि हंसी ,
कैसे देखता आंसू 
जो बह न पाए  ?

कैसे सूनता दर्द 
जो हम कहे न पाए ?

कौन समजेगा 
हमारी खामोशी को  ?

'गर होती नहीं 
तुम्हारी रूश्वाई 
तो भी क्या कहते ?


शिकायत है तो उस खुदा से ,
मिलने ना दिया 
दिन के उजाले में 
तुम्हे ,
ख्वाब में क्यों न 
आने दिया  ?

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

Who will understand

There is no voice to my sigh;

The world saw and laughed.

how to see tears

Which cannot flow?

how to feel pain

What we could not say?

who will understand

To our silence?

'It doesn't happen

your shame

Even then what do you say?

If you have a complaint against God,

not allowed to meet

in broad daylight

To you ,

why not in dreams

allowed to come?
