श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

 संजय दृष्टि – भेड़िया 

भेड़िया उठा ले गया

झाड़ी की ओट में,

बर्बरता से उसका

अंग-प्रत्यंग भक्षण किया,

कुछ दिन बाद

देह का सड़ा-गला

अवशेष बरामद हुआ,

भेड़ियों का ग्राफ

निरंतर बढ़ता गया,

फिर यकायक

दुर्लभ होते प्राणियों में

भेड़िये का नाम पाकर

मेरा माथा ठनक गया,

अध्ययन से यह

तथ्य स्पष्ट हुआ,

चौपाये भेड़िये

जिस गति से घट रहे हैं,

दोपाये भेड़िये

उससे कई गुना अधिक

गति से बढ़ रहे हैं…!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

~ Wolf… ~ 

The wolf took away

a person in the

cover of the bush,

savagely devoured

him limb by limb,

A few days later,

the decomposed

remains of the body

were recovered.

The wolf count

continued to grow…

Then all of a sudden

Everyone was shocked

to find the name of wolf

among the rare animals.

The study revealed that

The speed at which

the quadruped wolves

were decreasing,

the bipedal wolves

were increasing

exponentially more

than that…!

~Pravin
