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,

અધર ચૂમ્યા ?



_________________________________________________________________________________
ઉંઘ માં થી ઉઠી
બેબાકળી ,
પૂછ્યું તેં ,

    " કેમ મારા
      અધર  ચૂમ્યા  ? "

મેં કહ્યું ,

    " કોણ , મેં  ?
      ના ના ના ,
      પૂછ તારા પયોધર ને ,
      એજ મારે
      હૃદય રમ્યાં "

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

અધર ચૂમ્યા ?

Did you kiss ?

Waking up from sleep , he asked ,

" Why did you kiss my lips ? "

" I said , " Who , me ?

No no no ,

ask your pyodhar ,

he played my heart "
