☆ संजय दृष्टि – धरना ☆
वह चलता रहा
वे हँसते रहे..,
वह बढ़ता रहा
वे दम भरते रहे..,
शनै:-शनै: वह
निकल आया दूर,
इतनी दूरी तय करना
बूते में नहीं, सोचकर
सारे के सारे ऐंठे हैं..,
कछुए की सक्रियता के विरुद्ध
खरगोश धरने पर बैठे हैं..!

☆ Dharna, the Agitation… ☆
He kept on walking
They kept on laughing…,
He kept moving
They kept on envying…,
Gradually but steadily
Slowly but assuredly
he moved too far away,
Considering that
covering such a distance
is not possible
All are seething in anger…,
Against the tortoise’s
dogged perseverance
The rabbits are sitting on
Agitation, the ‘Dharna’ ..
