खामोशी तुम समझोगे नहीं

और हमसे बयाँ होगा नहीं…

Let’s leave it at that now….

What’ll you do by hearing my story

You won’t understand the silence

And I’ll not be able to explain…!

मेरी तमन्ना न थी कभी

तेरे बगैर रहने की मगर

मजबूर को मजबूर की

मजबूरीयां मजबूर कर देती हैं!

Never did I desire to

Live without you but…

The helplessness compels 

the helpless to live without!

कैदी हैं सब यहाँ…

English Literature – Poetry ☆ ‘सार्थक’ श्री संजय भारद्वाज (भावानुवाद) – ‘Contemplation…’ ☆ Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi, NM ☆

We present an English Version of Shri Sanjay Bhardwaj’s Hindi poetry “सार्थक”.  We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji (who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages) for this beautiful translation and his artwork.)

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

? संजय उवाच – सार्थक ? ?

एक बात और, यदि जीवन में कभी भी, किसी भी पड़ाव पर मृत्यु आ सकती है तो किसी भी पड़ाव पर जीवन आरंभ क्यों नहीं हो सकता? इसीलिए कहा है,

कदम उठे,

यात्रा बनी,

साँसें खर्च हुईं

अनुभव संचित हुआ,

कुछ दिया, कुछ पाया

अर्द्धचक्र पूर्ण हुआ,

भूमिकाएँ बदलीं-

शेष साँसों को

पाथेय कर सको

तो संचय सार्थक है

अन्यथा

श्वासोच्छवास व्यर्थ है..!

ध्यान रहे, जीवन में वर्ष तो हरेक जोड़ता है पर वर्षों में जीवन बिरला ही फूँकता है। आपका बिरलापन प्रस्फुटन के लिए प्रतीक्षारत है।

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

?~ Contemplation ~??
Just a contemplation,

If death can come

at any stage of life,

then why can’t life

begin at any stage?

 

Steps were taken,

The journey was made,

Breaths were consumed,

Experience was accumulated,

Something was given,

Something was received…

 

The semi-circle got completed,

Roles got reversed

If you can make the

remaining breaths

worth journeying,

Then only,

accumulation is worthwhile,

Else,

Breathing is futile..!

 

Remember,

Everyone adds years to life,

but only a few

breathe life into years.

Your rarity

is waiting to blossom…!

??

O’ Ma Durga! you sure are the nemesis of all the evil forces,

Leaving them annihilated, with your eternal assurance

With exuding aura, day and night tirelessly you guard us,

 Slay the countess demons, with your celestial fury abound

With resolute severity, you fiercely guard your ardent devotees,

 Never ing to protect your worshippers all the year round

Your glories will be sung with the rise and fall of the tide,

World will  always pray  you  with  frisson  and pride!

Wondrous blissful zeal that the zeitgeist ever extended,

Sure you’d safeguard the humanity, whenever needed!!

With your imposing presence, devotees shall be blessed..!

We devotees shall have your blessings lastingly clung,

For the countless benedictions, your glories will be sung!!

English Literature – Poetry ☆ Review – Ms Leena Thampi’s Poem: Encounter with my soul – ☆ Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi, NM ☆

We Congratulate Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi ji who has been appointed as a reviewer for the literary work published by the international poets and littérateurs… It’s a great opportunity to express views on their scintillating literary work. Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi ji thanked President and his fellow colleagues of Global Writers Academy for this unique honour…!

Ms Leena Thampi whose imposing poem, ‘Encounter with Soul’, is truly एन्थ्राललिंग..। He humbly attempted to deep-dive into her composition to fetch some pearls of wisdom… though unraveling her poetic verses is certainly not a mean task…yet this chutzpah…!

☆ ~ Ms Leena Thampi’s Poem: Encounter with my soul ~? ☆

☆

Everything stops for a while

When she’s gone

The sun hides, the birds stop singing

the flowers refuse to bloom,

Trees become still, the clouds don’t care anymore, forget the rains

Nothing breathes and all of life

Turns a dull grey…

Then she returns

And everything falls in place

In whispers soft and sweet, a dance with words and thoughts,

In solitude I meet the lyrics of old songs

A symphony of emotions, in silence, I express,

For in my quietude, I find my soul’s caress.

The shadows of my mind, Unravel in this space,

A canvas of my heart, Where colors fill my grace.

I converse in my solitude, With the echoes of my soul,

A journey through the labyrinth, Of thoughts, I fearlessly control.

In every word, a story,in every breath, a verse,

I converse in my solitude,

As a poet, I confess.

In quiet chambers of my mind,

A dialogue with self,I cherish

Questions arise, answers sought, flow peacefully in this journey of thought.

Reflecting on the path I’ve trod, the choices made, the lessons taught. Emotions stir, a symphony within,

A fountain of joy and sorrow,a subtle kin.

In the mirror of introspection, I see my reflection.

The light and the dark, the highs and lows,

A spectrum of colors, in life’s ebbs and flows.

Valleys ,mountains ,beauty unexplored

You take me through euphoria manifold

This conversation with the self, so deep,

Unveils the mysteries, the secrets to keep.

A journey of growth, of self-discovery,

A path that leads to wisdom, and a heart so free.

It’s where I meet myself

Who could I love more than thee?

~ Leena Thampi

Review:

ENCOUNTER WITH MY SOUL is a beautiful poem by equally beautiful poetess Leena Thampi, where her resplendent beauty reflects in her enigmatic journey in a scintillating poetic form. The flight that she undertakes with her amazing indomitable wings into myriad shades of life…while wandering around the rapturous environment, in the symphony of emotional melodies… oscillating between the crests and troughs of sombreness and exultation…

It’s her blissful interaction with the soul that defines her swing of moods…as she recalls about somberness: “…everything stops for a while when she’s gone…” Takes it further as she sums up:

“Nothing breathes at all and all of life turns into dull grey…!”

But on her return, everything becomes exuberant…as she dances in the whispers of tender sweet words and lovelorn thoughts…

She enjoys her solitude as she dives deep into the reclusive privateness, where the symphony of spirited sentiments, plays ceaselessly…

Finally, she finds her soul’s embrace in her quietude. The shadow of her mind, unravels the canvas of her heart, where myriad rainbowish hues fill her inner self…as she converses with her solitude, with resonating echoes of her enchanting soul.

This deep interaction with the self, unfolds many mysteries, scripting the odyssey of her growth and wisdom, which in turn sets the heart free, where she finds her ultimate love…!

Leena has created a masterpiece which is more of a volcanic eruption of the heart than a willful composition…!

 Where there is dazzling dawn,

that’s where one’s abode should be…

 

Sometimes sit near a glowing flower

Listen to it when it spreads

its celestial fragrance,

It says a lot…

Sometimes by humming,

sometimes by smiling,

sometimes by sneaking,

sometimes by tickling…

 

Where there is dazzling dawn,

that’s where your abode should be…

 

You must have seen the small droplets

of dew  early  in  the  morning,

 

Their twinkling little eyes remain

awake the whole night…

There is a lot in their heart

but only this much is on their lips

 

Where there is dazzling dawn

that’s where my abode is…

 

Neither mud nor its slurry paste

Nor is there any gold to decorate

Wherever you find the love,

Build your home there only

The home of the heart is made by

the heart only, by touching the hearts,

By  meeting  everyone’s  hopes…

 

Wherever there is glowing dawn,

That is where my mythical abode is…

Inner is well…(reservoir)

 

Deep down the mystery

To enjoy the mastery

 

Upper is upper, dont doubt

Inner is real, dont doubt

 

Ignore upper, enjoy inner

“Well” is “well”, really “well”

 Believe this undoubtedly is “well”

Well is really well, undoubtedly

 

Upper is upper, not well

Inner is real, its really well

 

Doubt misery, enjoy mastery

Expect the unexpected blissful scenery

 

 Unfold the mask, watch the world

Now its real and blissful world

 

Experience “you” the stardust from the universe

As upper is nothing, all the universe

 

Deep is well, upper is upper

Doubt the upper, enjoy the well

As well is well, well is well
