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

जब चलेंगे अगली बार



__________________________________________

कल होगा 
इक घर नया ,

होगा नया दौर ;

आदते भी छोड़नी होगी पुरानी 
कुछ होगी नयी सजानी  :

सामान का क्या  ?
नया आ जाएगा  ;

पर बीती पलों की याद को 
साथ ले जाएंगे  !

हम तो ठहरे मुसाफिर ,

जहाँ से आए  
उस जगह का पता नहीं  !

जहाँ जाना है 
वहां से कभी 
वापस न आना है !

जब चलेंगे अगली बार ,
न सामान होगा 
न यादे ,
सब कुछ छोड़के ,  
अकेले ही जाना है  !

when will we go next time

will happen tomorrow

A new house,

There will be a new era;

We will have to give up old habits too

There will be some new decoration:

What about luggage?

New one will come;

But the memories of the past moments

Will take it along!

We are just travelers,

where you came from

Don't know that place!

where to go

ever from there

Don't come back!

Next time we go,

there will be no goods

no memories,

Leaving everything aside,

Have to go alone!

वहाँ तो लहरा रहां था







__________________________________________


लोगों शराब पी लेते हैं ,

मुझे न कोई जाम देने वाली,
इस लिए ,
मैं तो 
बहाने बना लेता हूँ ,

तुम्हारी याद भुलाने 
ज़माने को क्या क्या 
खत लिखता हूँ  !

जानते हुए की 
बहुत कम पढ़ेंगे ,
पढ़ेंगे वो क्या समझेंगे  ?

बिना पढ़े मेरे कवित
क्यों कर 
तूने मुझे पहचाना ?

शायद मेरी आँखों में झाँखा  ?

और देखा ,
वहाँ तो लहरा रहां था
एक आंसू ओ का दरिया ;

न तू उसे भूल पायी ,

ना मै भुला हूँ 
उन रसीले ओठों से ,
रह रह कर उठे 
वो लब्ज़ ,

" पिया , पिया "

was waving there

people drink alcohol,

No one is going to trouble me,

so ,

I am so

I make excuses,

to forget you

what about the world

I write a letter!

knowing that

Will read very little,

What will they understand when they read it?

without reading my poems

why do

did you recognize me?

Maybe look into my eyes?

And look,

was waving there

A river of tears;

Neither could you forget him,

no i have forgotten

From those juicy lips,

woke up slowly

That word,

"Drank, drank"
