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,

जिस ज़ुल्फ़ों को मैंने चूमना चाहा




जब जब करू याद ,
मेरे घर के सामने 
उस 
बिना पेड़ों की चट्टान को ,

तब हो जाता है ताजा 
उस नज़ारा 
जब तू बैठी थी 
थाम के मेरा हाथ  ;

सूरज ढलने चला था 
और 
तेरे काले ज़ुल्फो से 
पवन खेल रहा था  ;

क्या तमीज़ उसकी  !

जिस ज़ुल्फ़ों को मैंने 
चूमना चाहा ,
उसे उड़ाके, 
गले से तेरे 
लिपट कर अपनी बांहे ,

मुए क्यों सताता  ?

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

When I remember the owls that I wanted to kiss ,

that bare rock in front of my house ,

the sight is fresh when you are sitting on my hand ;

the sun was going down and

the wind was playing with your black owl ;

what a treat !

Why do you persecute me with

your arms around your neck ,

flaying the wolves that I wanted to kiss ?

પવન મને ના ગમતો


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

નમતા પ્હોરે
વૃક્ષ વિનાની ટેકરી પર ,

તારા ટૂંકા વાળ થી રમતો
પવન મને ના ગમતો  ;

હું તરસું જે
ઝુલ્ફાઓ ને ,
હરીફ થઇ ને ચૂમતો

હું
મન હી મન સમસમતો  !
