Keep the old letters.

A ringing phone will come up,

A pigeon will come carrying the message.

Where you turned this road,

There will be a widow's farm.

Mangoes like mangoes in the yard,

Two stones will come daily.

Keep old letters,

One day an annoying opportunity will come.

On the border where I stand today,

Army will come from both sides.

If there is faith, 'Balu' even today,

Everyone who drinks poison will become sick.

- Balubhai Patel

Ba Lubhai Patel, the name does not sound like a poet at first sight, but there is no doubt that Balubhai is a great poet. He has given not one, not two but five anthologies. Many of today's people may find this ghazalkar, who has sung Mushaira with many poems like Shhun, Saif, Gani, Mariz. If we go through his poems, it will not feel strange at all... Balubhai, born on September 25, 1937, passed away in 1992. He produced five collections during his fifty-five year lifetime. This poet, who was a brick-and-mortar builder by profession, also knew Ghazal masonry very well.

From a letter reaching from Kaburat to today we have reached phones and mobiles. When Balubhai wrote this share, he had no idea of ​​mobile. He may have written with landlines in mind, but the share is equally applicable to mobiles. To hear someone ringing on the phone and a pigeon carrying someone's message attracts opposites. Many think that they have a mobile phone, then why do they need a pigeon, send a message, talk. If it is too much, make video calling. But what Balubhai has done is known to those who have pigeons flying in their hearts.

Each part of this ghazal, contained in six shares, is like reading and savoring. Turning the road and coming to the widow's house at the same place has several connotations. Maybe the feeling is different from person to person. The tree on which there is more fruit has to suffer the stone wounds. If your personality is like a mango and you get mangoes of Bhalmansai, prepare to eat a stone. Bhavesh Bhatt

A share is-

To start or finish something again,

Now at this age you send old letters.

What a beautiful share! And look at Balubhai's mood, asking to keep that letter, why Bhavesh Bhatt is sending old letters? He questions. In this way, the meanings and prices of both the shares are completely different, but both are fun to enjoy together. A poet says, 'Keep old letters, one day an opportunity will come.' And others say, now years later, at an advanced age, where do you send me old letters? In other words, these are not the letters that Balubhai asked to keep? And Balubhai who speaks of opportunity that 'Anoy opportunity will come.' Isn't this the only opportunity? In this way these two shares are like to be seen together. There are some shares on the letter. Harshad Chandarana has written the entire letter ghazal. Rajendra Shukla was not limited to one ghazal, he composed a bunch of seven ghazals.

It's a strange atmosphere to tell you,

One moment you are and one moment your memory.

Check out this beautiful share written by Ramesh Parekh on the letter-

To write a letter to you, also have manners,

Serve the head in a garnished plate.

From one share of Balubhai we reached many other poets. However, poems written on letters can be studied separately. What can be included in this one article? A beautiful book could be made on this subject. If you talk about the letter, you will go far away. Let's leave the next part of Balubhai's ghazal for the readers to enjoy. Today is Balubhai's birthday, so let's salute him with this ghazal of his.

Let's meet for no reason,

Rakhi relation without any kinship.

Let us understand each other,

Without any hesitation or confusion.

Where has anyone got the destinations,

Without any hindrance or hindrance.

You didn't understand and said nothing.

I just spoke, without understanding.
