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

जाने भी दो संध्या को




संध्या खिली है ,
मानो 
ढलते सुरजने 
जाते जाते 
धरती को चूम लिया ;

दूर गगन से उठते 
पंखीओ के चीत्कार 
मेरे ह्रदय की गहराईओं में 
गूंजते है ;

तन्हाइओ से घिरा हूँ मैं ,
मुझे शब्दों की क्या ज़रुरत ?

जिन्हे सुनना है कुछ 
मेरे नीरव मौन को सून लो ;

ना ही मुझे 
प्रकाश कीआश ,
जाने भी दो संध्या को ,
निबिड़ निशा के अंधेरो में ही 
ले लूंगा ,
बचे जो है बाकी सांस

અંધકાર છો રહ્યો


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

સંધ્યા ખીલી ઉઠી છે
જાણે
આભ માં
રંગોની છોળો
ઉડી રહી છે  ;

એકલવાયા પંખીઓ નાં ચિત્કાર
હૈયા ના
અતલ ઉંડાણ માં
ગૂંજી રહે છે  ;

નિ : રવતા ઘેરી રહી છે ;

ભલે  !

શબ્દ ની કંઈ જરૂર નથી ,
'ને
પ્રકાશ ની પણ શું જરૂર છે  ?

અંધકાર છો રહ્યો

let the evening go

evening has blossomed,

As if

setting sun

while going

kissed the earth 

rising from the distant sky

birds chirping

in the depths of my heart

resounds; 

I am surrounded by loneliness

Why do I need words? 

who want to hear something

Hear my silent silence; 

nor me

Prakash Kish,

Let the evening go

only in the darkness of Nibid Nisha

will take

what's left is breath

सुरभि

 




 वो भी  क्या थी 
इक भोर सुहानी 
जब  
तुजे पहली बार देखा

क्या याद है तुजे ,
मिल कर तेरी निगाहो से 
मेरी निगाहे अलग न हो पायी

तुने कैसा  किया जादू ,
आज भी 
 तेरी   छवि  को देखते ही 
 खो  जाता हूँ ;

मानो 
तेरी आँखे  देखते ही 
दिल में तेरे 
समा जाता हूँ ;

क्या कह कर तुजे  पुकारूँ ?
अब तक बसी है 
मेरे दिल में 
वो    सुरभि ?

સુરભિ !


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

સુરભિ ,


સુંદર એક સવારે ,
પ્યારી જો તું લાગે ,
કહું તને ,

સુરભિ  !

અને રહું બસ નિરખી
મંત્રમુગ્ધ શો ,
શુધબુધ ખો

Surabhi

what was that

one fine morning

when you saw me

for the first time ,

 

do you remember what you did ,

how you could not separate

my eyes from your eyes together ,

 

how you did magic ,

even today I am lost in your image ;

as if I see your eyes , I am lost in my heart ;

 

what should I call you ?

Is it still alive in my heart ?

कुछ ज्यादा ही भायी


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

हीला के  पैर की अंगुली 

तू बोली  ,

"  उट्ठो , 

लेके मुख पर  

शर्म की लाली  

उषा भी तो

आ गयी "

शर तक खिंच के चादर ,

मैं बोला ,

"  रहने भी दो ,   

और दो घडी 

सोने भी दो  ; 

उजाले से ज्यादा  

  आये जो रात के अंधेरो में  

वो सपनो में ,   

तुम  

कुछ ज्यादा ही भायी   "

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

Much more than that ,

Heela ' s toe said ,

" Utho ,

leke mukha par sharam ki lali

usha bhi toh aa gayi .

 " Shar tak kinch ke chadar ,

I said ,

" Let there be , and

let there be two hours of sleep ;

more than the light that

comes in the darkness of the

night in those dreams ,

you are more than enough . "
