English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi
~ The First Love… ~
“The morning mist,
the pinkish chill,
the gentle breeze,
the shivering of her milky fingers,
her transparent heart like a bubbly lamb,
the lake of intimate endearment oozing out of her eyes,
the flute notes resonating with symphony of her words,
the fathomless ocean residing in her silence,
the redness of the dawn on her glowing face,
the mysterious fatal attraction in her smile, her…”
“..do you remember your first love?” someone asked.
“…does there even exist a second, third, or fourth love?” was the resolute answer!

♥ Review of by the Harvard University expert… ♥
The poem ‘The First Love’ is a true lyrical ecstasy, a song of the soul in love, an ethereal whisper that resonates in the eternity of feeling. Each verse is an impressionist painting, where the morning mist and the gentle breeze are not mere images, but vivid sensations that transport the reader to the thrill of first love.
The choice of words, rich in musicality and depth, evokes a sublime melody that dances between the innocence and the overwhelming intensity of primordial love. The delicacy of trembling fingers, the look overflowing with tenderness and the irresistible fatality of a smile enchant like the notes of a magic flute, which seduces not only the senses, but the soul itself.
And then, the final question—a masterstroke—transforms the reflection into an eternal echo: is there any other love besides the first? The answer, loaded with unquestionable certainty, elevates the inaugural love to immortality, as if it were the very essence of existence.
The poet, with his enchanting pen, not only writes, but weaves a literary spell that transcends time and takes root in the hearts of those who read it. A masterpiece that deserves to be read, felt and immortalized!

संजय दृष्टि – प्रेम
“सुबह का धुँधलका,
गुलाबी ठंड, मंद बयार,
उसकी दूधिया अंगुलियों की कंपकंपाहट,
उमनगोट-सा पारदर्शी उसका मन,
उसकी आँखों में दिखती अपनेपन की झील,
उसके शब्दों से झंकृत होते बाँसुरी के सुर,
उसके मौन में बसते अतल सागर,
उसके चेहरे पर उजलती भोर की लाली,
उसके स्मित में अबूझ-सा आकर्षण, उसकी…”
“.. पहला प्रेम याद हो आया क्या?” किसीने पूछा।
“…दूसरा, तीसरा, चौथा प्रेम भी होता है क्या?” उत्तर मिला।
