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,

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

आषाढ़ के आने से पहले




इस बार 
आषाढ़ के आने से पहले ही ,
गुलमोर के फूल मुरझाये 
और 
चैत्र ने सुखाये 
मेरी आँख के आंसू  ;

गुलमोर तो होगा हरा 
बार बार ,
पर मैं तो हूँ 
ग्रीष्म की धुप में सूखी 
पेड़ की ठूंठ ;

किस कदर 
कहाँ से लाऊ , पत्ते हरे  ?

मेरे आंसुओ से 
सींचे है जिसे मैंने ,
गुलमोर के फूल लाल लाल 
आ जायेंगे 
बसंत में , हर बार

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

This time before the arrival of Ashadha ,

before the arrival of Ashadha ,

the flowers of Gulmor wilted and

Chaitra dried the tears of my eyes ;

Gulmor will be green again and again ,

but I am a dry tree stump in the summer sun ;

from where to bring the leaves , green ?

I have soaked it with my tears ,

the flowers of Gulmor will turn red

in spring , every time .

ગુલમોર ના ફૂલ


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

હજુ આષાઢ આવ્યો નથી ત્યાં
ગુલમોર ના ફૂલ ખલાસ થયા
મારી આંખના આંસૂ પણ  :

લાલ મટી ને લીલો થયો ગુલમોર
પણ હું તો
વૈશાખ ને વાયરે સૂકાયેલ
બાવળ નું ઠુંઠું  :

લીલી પાંદડી ને ક્યાંથી ,
કેમ કરી લાઉ  ?
