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,
Hemen Parekh

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

કહ્યું નાં કોઈને

પાલખી ઉઠાવી
પ્રિયા ની
એક ' દિ ચાલ્યો ;

કહ્યું નાં કોઈને
પ્રિયતમ ,
મન તણી મૈયત ઉઠાવી .

कहे भी तो किसको  ?

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


ज़माना क्या जाने  ?

ज़माना तो ये माने
पालखी उठा के चला प्रीतम ,

प्रिया जाने ,
प्रीतम के पैर क्यों लड़खड़ाये  !

पालखी ना ,
चला इश्क आज
मन की मैयत उठाये  !

कहे भी तो किसको  ?

बैठी जो पालखी में प्रिया
न देख पाये
न आंसू रोक पाये ,

कहे भी तो किसको  ?

ज़माना क्या  समजे
मधु - रजनी नहीं ,
बिरह की
कभी ना ख़त्म होने वाली
रात को  !


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

Don ' t tell anyone .

Picking up the palanquin ,

one of the Priya ' s walked ;

Don ' t tell anyone ,

my dear .
