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,

तुम्हारी उम्र


______________________________________________________
तब तुम्हारे बाल
लम्बे , काले  ,  घने थे ,
जब मैंने तुम्हे सबसे पहेले देखा  ;

आज वो बाल नहीं,
मगर तुम्हारी आँखों में
उस दिन ,
जिस प्यार का साया देखा था
वो आज भी है  :

उस गहराइओ में डूब कर
बाहरी दुनिया को ,
करीब करीब भूलसा गया  ;

ये भी के ,
वकत गुजरा चला जा रहा है  ;

ये भी  के ,
तुम्हारे वो काले ज़ुल्फे
कभी
तुम्हारे बदन की सफ़ेदाइओ को चुराके
खुद सफ़ेद हो जायेंगे  --

मेरे खयालो में
तुम्हारी उम्र , अब भी
बीस के आसपास ही है

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

Your Age

then your hair

They were long, dark, dense,

When I first saw you;

No more hair today

but in your eyes

that day ,

the shadow of love that I had seen

He is still there today:

drowning in those depths

to the outside world,

Almost forgot;

This also,

Time is passing by;

This also,

those black locks of yours

Sometimes

stole the whiteness of your body

Will turn white myself -

in my thoughts

your age, still

around twenty
