श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

 संजय दृष्टि –  ब्लैक होल  

तुम फिर खींच दोगे

हमारे बीच के धागे को,

तुम फिर लौट जाओगे

पिछली या उससे पिछली

या उससे पिछली

या उससे भी पिछली,

अनगिनत पिछली बार की तरह..,

तुम्हारे लौट आने पर

मैं फिर मिलूँगा तुमसे

वैसे ही जैसे

कभी कुछ हुआ ही ना हो,

कभी सोचा,

हर बार का तुम्हारा पलायन

मेरे भीतर के ब्रह्मांड में

पैदा कर देता है एक शून्य,

अब,

ये सारे शून्य मिलाकर

भयावह ब्लैक होल बन चुका है,

जानते हो ना,

ब्लैक होल गड़प जाता है

ब्रह्मांड सारा का सारा,

सुनो,

हाँफ रहा हूँ, थक गया हूँ,

बार-बार गड़पे जाने से

कैसे उबरूँ मैं..?

तुम्हीं बताओ

और कितने ब्रह्मांड सिरजूँ मैं..?

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

– Blackhole… –

You will again draw.

the line between us,

You will again go away

like countless previous occasions,

When you return, I always

meet & greet you again as if

nothing has ever happened…

 

But, have you ever thought,

Every time you leave, it creates

a vacuum in my consciousness,

Now, all these voids have combined

to form a petrifying blackhole

Do you know. that the blackhole

swallows the entire universe..?

 

Now. Listen!

I am gaspingly asphyxiated

How do I recover from being

exhausted again and again?

You only tell me how many

more universes can I create..?

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – तुम लिखो कविता! 

उन्होंने कविता और

कवित्व की हँसी उड़ाई,

मैंने कलम उनके हाथ थमाई

और कहा, अब तुम लिखो कविता!

 

उनकी हँसी अचकचाई,

दृष्टि सकुचाई,

मैंने कलम ली उनके हाथ से

लिखी पक्तियाँ उसी

अचकचाने-सकुचाने पर

और उन्हें ही प्रति थमाई।

 

सृजन यों ही नहीं जन्मता,

देखना, दृष्टि में यों ही नहीं बदलता,

कविताओं के छत्ते से

तुम भरपूर शहद

भले ही जुटा पाओगे,

स्मरण रहे,

मधुमक्खी तो तब भी नहीं हो पाओगे!

 

बाहरी जगत के विस्तार का

माइक्रोचिप बनाएगी कविता,

जब कभी भीतर देखना होगा

उन्हें रास्ता दिखायेगी कविता!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

– You Write a Poem… –

They incessantly ridiculed

the poetry and poetics…
 

I handed over a pen

to them and said smiling,

“Now you write a poem!”

Their laughters ceased abruptly

Eyes got perplexly narrowed,

Countenance shrank embarassingly!
 

I took the pen, wrote intricately a

few poetic verses on their predicament

With some hesitation and bewilderment

They took the copy, with a coyish grin..!
 

Creation never gets born just like that,

Seeing never changes the sight just like that,

One may be able to gather plenty of

honey from the hive of poems,

But always remember, even then

you won’t be able to become a bee!
 

Poetry will create a microchip of the

expansion of the external world,

Whenever one has to look within,

poetry will show him the way forward..!

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – आहत

आहत हूँ

पर क्या करूँ,

जानता था

सारी आशंकाएँ मार्ग की,

सो समूह के आगे

चलता रहा,

डग भरने से चोटें

घिसटने से खरोंचेेंं,

पीछे चलनेवालों के घात,

पीछे खींचनेवालों के आघात,

रास्ता दिखाने वालों के पास

आहत होने के सिवा

कोई विकल्प भी तो

नहीं होता ना..!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

– Indomitable Warrior… –

I’m hurt; Yes, I’m hurt…

but then, what to do…

Knowing all through

the weariness of the path,

Kept marching ahead,

pioneering the caravan…

 

Injuries caused by the

arduousness of the path,

Scratches caused by the

impregnable thorny routes…

Kept facing the ambushes

of the plotting followers…

 

Endured the blows of those

who kept pulling me back,

What options do the

pioneers ever have other

than combating the hurt..?

~Pravin
