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,

અરે ! બૂઝશે આજે



_________________________________________________________________________________
સુધા નો જામ ખાલી
સાકી સિતમગર ,

       શરાબ તારી ખૂટી જો ,
       ભરી દે બેફીકર થઇ
       ઝહર પ્યાલી  :

દિવાનો પ્રેમ નો તારો
પાછો જશે શું  ?

       અરે !
       બૂઝશે આજે ,

       કાં તો
       ઈશ્ક ની પ્યાસ
       યા તો
       જિસ્મ ની સાંસ .

बूज़ा के जाऊँगा

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


साकी ,

देख कौन आया
महफ़िल में तेरी
ये शराबी ,

करो ना सितम
सुधा से भरो ,
देख मेरा जाम खाली  !


बची ना शराब तेरे मयखाने में  ?

हो कर बेफिक्र
भर दे ज़हर से
मेरी जो
प्याली खाली  !


दीवाना प्यार का तेरा
लौटेगा नहीं

'गर  बूज़ा न शको
इश्क की प्यास

तेरे दर पे
बूज़ा के जाऊँगा
जिस्म की सांस  !

---------------------------
=========================================================================

Oh hey ! Today ' s the day

 

Sudha no jam khali saki sitamgar ,

baraab teri khuti jo ,

bhari de befikar ho jahar pyaali :

Deewana pyaar no taro jayega ?

Oh hey ! It will be understood today ,

either the pyaasa of Ishq or the saans of Jism .
