Basant Panchami – The Advent of Spring


Basant Panchami – The Advent of Spring
On the occasion of Basant Panchami, here is a poem straight from my heart for all of you …… 
અંતમાં  આરંભ અને આરંભમાં અંત.
                            પાનખરના હૈયામાં ટહુકે વસંત.
             સોળ વરસની વય, ક્યાંક કોયલનો લય,
             કેસૂડાંનો કોના પર ઊછળે પ્રણય?
ભલે લાગે છે રંક પણ ભીતર શ્રીમંત.
                            પાનખરના હૈયામાં ટહુકે વસંત.
             આજે તો વનમાં કોના વિવાહ,
             એક એક વૃક્ષમાં પ્રકટે દીવા.
આશીર્વાદ આપવા આવે છે સંત.
                            પાનખરના હૈયામાં ટહુકે  વસંત.

The English translated version of the poem by a well-wisher: 

All that begins meets an end, 
Every end onsets a new beginning, 

                              From the heart of autumn 
                              Rises the cooing of spring… 

       At sweet sixteen, melody of a cuckoo within 
       On whom showers romance, the flowers of spring? 

Appearing poor, but rich within… 

                             From the heart of autumn 
                             Rises the cooing of spring… 

       Who’s getting wedded in woods? 
       Each tree is lit in festive moods! 

Bestowed with divine blessing 

                            From the heart of autumn 
                            Rises the cooing of spring… 

The Hindi translation of this poem sent by Shri Mukul is worth appreciating. Many thanks to him for his contribution 

कूजता वसंत (बोले बसंत) 

अंत में आरंभ है, आरंभ में है अंत, 
हिय में पतझर के कूजता वसंत। 

सोलह बरस की वय, कहीं कोयल की लय,
किस पर है उछल रहा पलाश का प्रणय ?
लगता हो रंक भले, भीतर श्रीमंत
हिय में पतझर के कूजता वसंत।


किसकी शादी है, आज यहाँ बन में ?
फूट रहे, दीप-दीप वृक्षों के तन में
देने को आशीष आते हैं संत,
हिय में पतझर के कूजता वसंत।
