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,

पर मैं कैसा बादल

मैं कैसा बादल ,

आँखे भरी है आंसू से 
पर , रो न पाऊ  ;

खूब जानता हूँ 
खूब जानता हूँ ,

रेगिस्तान में खिले पौधे की तरह 
तुम मेरे आंसू को तरसती हो ,

पर मैं कैसा बादल 
जो तुम्हे 
इक नन्ही सी छाँव 
न दे पाया  !

===================
From original English , " A Lonely Cloud " written on 03 Feb 1959 , as below :

I am a tearful cloud
that cannot cry ,
my tears, knowing ,
would not reach
some thirsty patch of land ,
nor cool
the desert winds hot  ;

I am a lonely cloud,
in a sultry summer sky ,
that cannot cast a shadow,
for a lovely belle,
beneath to lie .
