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,

कुछ चला भी तो कैसे

Hindi transliteration ( 31 Aug 2018 ) of original Gujarati 

પછાડે પછાડે તારી {  27  April 2018  } 


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

कुछ चला भी तो कैसे

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

संसार का सूरज सुलगता था ,
मानो तुज पर 
आग बन के 
आभ से बरसता था  !

चाहा तो खूब 
होता अगर पेड़ पलाश का ,
छाव बन कर छा जाता  ;

कुछ चला भी तो कैसे  !

बन के परछाई तेरी 
पीछे पीछे  !

तू रूप की रानी 
और मै  चला 
बन के तेरी 
परछाई काली  ;

जब शाम ढले , 

और चले 
सूरज सागर में 
सो जाने ,

तब उठा लेना मुझे जमीं से ,
सिमट कर पल्लू में तेरे 
दामन में तेरे 
रात भर 
बाँध रखना !  
====================================================================

Even if something works, how can it happen?

The sun of the world was burning,

as if on you

like fire

Was showering with aura!

I want it a lot

If the tree was of Palash,

Becomes covered like a shade;

How can something work?

I became your shadow

behind  !

you are the queen of beauty

and i went

become yours

Shadow black;

When evening falls,

and let's go

sun in the ocean

go to sleep,

Then pick me up from the ground,

wrapped in your pallu

in your lap

whole night

Keep it tied!

अरे , देखने दो !





ख्वाबो में छलक जाते है 
पैमाने अरमाओ के ,

दिन होते ही 
हर मैखाने में 
पीता हूँ जाम , ग़मो के  !

क्या ज़माने से डर  के 
कहेती हो ? ,

"  छोडो मेरा हाथ 
    कोई देख लेगा   "

अरे , देखने दो  !

दिल से जो पकड़ा था 
दामन तेरा ,
वो तो 
आज भी मैंने 
छिपा रख्हा है  !

Hey, let me see!

overflowing in dreams

scale arms,

as soon as it's day

in every restaurant

I drink jam out of sorrow!

Why fear the world?

you say? ,

"Leave my hand

 Someone will take a look."

Hey, let me see!

which I held from my heart

your hem,

that is

Even today I

Kept hidden!

क्या करोगी मुझे पसंद ?




तुम तो वही चाहोगी 
जो मुझे पसंद हो ,

'गर कहु के 
मुझे तो एक तुम्ही पसंद हो 

तो क्या 
खुद को चाहोगी  ?

न कर पाओगी  !

जो मुझे ना हो शके बर्दास्त ,
वो कैसे कर पाओगी  ?

कभी वो तो करके देखो 
जो तुम्हे खुद को पसंद हो  !

क्या ये भी पूछना पड़ेगा 
" क्या करोगी मुझे पसंद ? "

What would you like me to do?

that's what you want

whatever I like,

'What if I say?

I just like you

So what

Would you like yourself?

You won't be able to do it!

What I can't bear,

How will she be able to do that?

try that sometime

Whatever you like yourself!

 

Do I even have to ask this?

"What would you like me to do?"
