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,

मेरे जनमदिन

From original English poem :

Like  My  Birthdays  (  26  Aug  1972  )

https://poemseng.blogspot.com/2013/08/like-my-birthdays.html  


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

मेरे जनमदिन 

-------------

एक अकेला कौआ ,

उड़ा 
एक इससे भी अकेले कौऐ के पीछे ;

और 
उन दोनों के आगे 
एक के पीछे अनेक 
उड़ते है 
अकेलेपन के गहरे साये ;

मानो 
बादलो को पंख पर उठाये ,
उड़ते खयालो अँधेरे ;

तोड़ के जज़ीरे 
मन की कैद से भागते हुए कैदी  ;

जैसे की 
मेरे बेटे की किताब से भागते अक्षर ,
अक्षरों से लब्ज़ बन पाए बिना 
भागते अक्षर  ;

जैसे की 
मेरे जनमदिन 

एक के पीछे एक भागते 
मेरे जनमदिन  ,

घडी के कांटो की तरह भागते 
मेरे जनमदिन ,

बढती उम्र की परवा न करते 
मेरे जनमदिन

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

My birthdays are like a lone raven ,

flying behind an even lonelier raven ;

and in front of both of them ,

behind one another , many shadows of loneliness ;

like clouds lifted on wings ,

flying clouds of darkness ;

like a prisoner escaping from

the confinement of a broken heart ;

like letters escaping from my son ' s book ,

letters escaping without being able to become letters ;

like my birthdays running behind one another ,

my birthdays running like clockwork ,

not caring about my advancing age .
