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

आँखों से ही कहे दो

इक दिन सुब्हा 
तूने कहा :

" कुछ कहोगे भी तो ? "

कहने को तो बहुत था 
कुछ कह न पाया  !

मेरे प्यार को बयाँ करने ,
होठो पर 
एक भी 
शब्द न आया  !

मानो 
युद्ध के मैदान में 
अर्जुन के हाथ से 
गांडीव सरकता रहा ,

ना एक 
तीर चला पाया  !

पर उन्हें तो 
सहारा था कृष्ण का  !


वो कौन सी मजबूरी थी 
जिसका   
अफ़सोस उठाये 
मैं आज भी भटकता हूँ  ?


इस सोच में डूबा हूँ 
क्यों न तूने कहा ,

" 'गर बयाँ न कर पाओ लब्ज़ो में ,
   आँखों से ही कहे दो ,
    तुम क्या हो मेरे "

Tell it with your eyes

one morning

You said:

"Will you say something?"

there was a lot to say

Couldn't say anything!

to express my love,

on the lips

even one

No words came!

As if

on the battlefield

from Arjun's hand

Gandiva kept moving,

neither one

Could shoot the arrow!

but they

Krishna had support!

what compulsion was that

Whose

feel sorry for

I still wander today?

I am lost in this thought

Why didn't you say?

"'If you can't express it in words,

   Tell me with your eyes,

    "What are you to me?"

तेरे लबो को छू ने




हज़ारो ख़याल आते है 
रुक कर , पल दो पल 
चले जाते है  !

रुका है सिर्फ एक 
तेरी छवि बन के ;

वो छवि 
जिसे देखने 
ढलते सूरज की किरणे भी 
थम गयी ;

पिप्पल के पत्तो से गुजर 
वो किरणे 
तेरे चेहरे पर 
धुप छाँव खेलती रही ;

तेरे हसीं होठो को 
मैं आज भी तरसता हूँ 

तेरे लबो को छू ने 
मैं आज भी मरता हूँ  !

Touched your lips

thousands of thoughts come to mind

Wait a moment, a second

Let's go!

only one is waiting

By becoming your image;

that image

whom to see

even the rays of the setting sun

It stopped;

passing through pipal leaves

those rays

on your face

The sun kept playing with shade;

to your smiling lips

I still yearn for it

touched your lips

I die today too!

मेरा प्यार आज भी कायम है !




रहा न तेरा हुश्न  कायम 
ना मेरी जवानी ;

आज बादल बरस रहे है 
समंदर की मौजे गरज रही  है  ;

'गर तू यहां  होती 
तो 
मेरी आंखोमे आँखे 
जांख कर देख लेती ,

मेरा प्यार 
आज भी कायम है  !


कल रात 
मेरे ख्वाबोंमें तू आ न पायी 

इसका गीला किस्से करूँ  ?


जी चाहता है 
'गर मिल शको तो 
समंदर की बाँहों में 
आके मिलु  !

My love still continues!

May your beauty remain intact

Neither my youth;

It's raining today

The waves of the sea are roaring;

'if you were here

So

eyes in my eyes

I would check and see,

my love

Still persists today!

tomorrow night

You couldn't come in my dreams

What should I tell about it?

Yes I want

'If you can find me

in the arms of the sea

Come and meet us!
