श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

 संजय दृष्टि – भूमिकाएँ 

उसने याद रखे काँटे;

पुष्प देते समय

अनायास जो

मुझसे, उसे चुभे थे,

मेरे नथुनों में

बसी रही

फूलों की गंध सदा;

जो सायास

मुझे काँटे

चुभोते समय

उससे लिपट कर

चली आई थी,

फूल और काँटे का संग

आजीवन है,

अपनी-अपनी भूमिका पर

दोनों कायम हैं।

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

~ Basic Nature… ~ 

He remembered

the thorns,

pricking him,

while receiving the

flowers from me,

though unintentionally;

While the smell of

flowers perennially

remained in my nostrils

that came cuddling

while he deliberately

pricked thorns to me…

Accompaniment of flowers

and thorns is lifelong…

Both are firm on their

respective roles, unflinchingly..!

~Pravin
