Prose Poem
by Suresh Dalal
Hun asahaay maun thi tane joi rahun chhun ane tare
mate kashun kari shakto nathi. Hospitalni dhorhi
divaloman tun karhun karhun kanse chhe. Koi aashirvad
varse to tari pida ochhi thay. Mari pase
prarthana sivay kashun nathi. Hun mari tamam
prarthanao pahonchadun chhun parmeshwarne. Prayatna karun chhu ke
hun kai rite dhandoirhi shakun tena maunane. Tari
aankhman lachari ane shoonyata joine hun akarhai
jaun chhun ane chupchap tara khandamanthi bahar nikrhun
chhun tyare mane maran no pagrav saambharhine mara kaan
kaapi nakhavanun man thay chhe. Pan enathi pan
maran ni gati ochhi roonthay chhe? Tara maran
pahelan na maunmanthi hun tara maran pachhina maun
taraf prayan karun chhun — ane mari asahaayta par
gusso karvaanun ke aansu sarvaanun pan mane mannathi thatun.

J.K.PARIKH says:
IT IS AN EXCELLANT POEM, FULL OF DEEP SENSATION AND FEELINGS. IN PART, IT REMINDS OF KHALIL GIBRAN AND RABINDRANATH TAGORE ALSO. IT IS VERY DEEP AND SUBTLE.
IF ONE CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL POEM, ALONG WITH THE TRANSALATION, IT WILL BE AN ADDED JOY.
SURESHBHAI IS INDEED AN EMINENT WRITER AND WORDS WILL NOT DO ENOUGH TO EXPRESS ONE'S RESPONSE. THE TRANSALATION IS ALSO VERY POETIC IN NATURE.
MY HUMBLE CONGRATULATIONS !
I REQUEST THAT THIS EFFORT BE CONTINUED.
