इस सफ़र में

नींद ऐसी खो गई

हम न सोए

रात थक कर सो गई …

☆☆

In this sojourn of life…

Lost sleep like this

Never could I sleep

Tired night only slept off…

☆☆☆☆☆

हर रोज़ ख़ुद पे ही बहुत…

हैरान बहुत होता हूँ मैं

कोई तो है मुझ में  जो…

बिल्कुल ही जुदा है मुझ से…!

☆☆

Everyday  I  keep  getting

too  surprised  on  myself…

There’s someone in me who’s

completely different from me…

☆☆☆☆☆

सारी उम्र गुजर गयी……

खुशियाँ बटोरते बटोरते

बाद में पता चला कि

खुश तो वो लोग थे

जो खुशियाँ बाट रहे थे…

☆☆

Whole life passed away in

Picking up  the  happiness…

Only to find happy were those

Who kept sharing happiness..!

☆☆☆☆☆

कौन कहता है कि

दिल सिर्फ सीने में होता है…

तुमको लिखूँ तो

मेरी उँगलियाँ भी धड़कती हैं…

☆☆

Who says that

Heart is in chest only

My fingers also throb

When I write to you…!

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 40 – “Mirror” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 40 ?

☆ – “Mirror” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

O you beautiful

use my eyes as your mirror

O dear look straight into them

and see nothing but a gem

 

see the gem that lacks nothing

life that means something

whatever dirt remaining

tears shall do the cleaning

 

don’t ask me about you

see it in my eyes can you

you won’t see a poor life

but a soul capable of rich life

 

you won’t see a desperate dishonest

but yet to be bloomed, the best

like a bud which looks sharp

before becoming beautiful flower

 

let the love ride your eyes

it shall make you rise

rise above the tears

rise above any mirrors

?‘नया शब्द सन्दर्भ …’ स्व डॉ राजकुमार तिवारी ‘सुमित्र’ (भावानुवाद) – New word’s reference! ☆ Hemant Bawankar ??

(This poem has been cited from my book “Yield of the potentiality” an English Version of संभावना की फसल by Dr. Rajkumar Tiwari ‘Sumitra’.)

Probably,

the vocabulary is ailing

from the jaundice

Knoweth not

where the

exclusiveness of words

has been lost?

 

It seems that

the vitiated environment

has impaired the

goodness of the words…

Now,

words do not have

good meanings too!

These days,

myself, Bhawani Mishra, or even if Bachchan!

shall not be able to build

the mansions of the words…

 

Alas!

What has happened

to this world’s tradition & values!

One is unable to survive

in life

If he is not immoral.

 

Just heard that –

Recently, Angel’s schools

have been opened

in South Africa and Vietnam…

 

Just heard that

Few persons (?)

in neighbouring country

are eager to maul 

the chastity of the vocabulary…

We present his awesome poem ~ O’ Enigmatic Life…! ~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 sharing this classic poem.  

☆ O’ Enigmatic Life…! ?

We are a huge shady tree that

is ever gratifying to the world,

Even, when felled and dried up,

it still is utile as firewood…

*

You must never ever throw away,

even the worn-out sheath of sword,

Who knows, tomorrow it may come

in handy to scare away the enemies…

*

Never ever sell your old run-down

house considering its debilitated state

Who knows sometime, it may turn out

to be your much needed sole shelter…

*

What’s the use of such a beauty that

just remains an object of yearning,

What’s the use of those poetic verses

that aren’t even worth reciting for…

*

Inflict me with such a deep wound

that never gets healed up in the life,

O’ Life! Give me such a perilous pain

that it becomes the medicine itself..!

Bewildering Interrogation ?

My heart writhes in a

deep anguish for you…

My hairs have turned grey

at  such  a tender  age…

*

He started crying looking

at my pitiable predicament

As if he’d come to perform

last rites of someone dear…

*

Give me your sole custody

just  once for a keepsake

I will  spend  rest  of  my  

life  taking  care  of you…

*

I know this but I can’t really

believe that you aren’t mine

But I’m perpetually immersed 

in  your  thoughts only…

*

He  left murmuring  sotto voce

raising the intriguing inquiry

I’m still trying to figure out 

his bewildering interrogation..!

☆ Encounter with the Life ?

Yesterday only I saw a

glimpse of the dear life,

Humming along with me

on a desolate country road..!

*

Smiling-winking, she kept

playing hide and seek…

Caressed me, consoled me

Tried to put me at ease..!

*

I asked, why are we both

angry with each other?

I was explaining to her

and she to me, spiritedly…

*

Why d’you give me pains galore,

Replied she, “I’m life, you fool!

I was preparing and teaching you

the ways to negotiate with your life..!”

देख दुनिया की बेरूखी

न पूछ ये नाचीज़ कैसा है

हम बारूद पे बैठें हैं

Seeing the rudeness of the world

Ask me not how worthless me is coping

I’m sitting on pile of explosives

And every person is like a fuse…

शहरों का यूँ वीरान होना

कुछ यूँ ग़ज़ब कर गया…

बरसों से  पड़े  गुमसुम

घरों को आबाद कर गया…

Desolation of the cities

Did something amazing…

Repopulated the houses

Lying deserted for years…

सारे मुल्क़ों को नाज था

Every country greatly boasted of

Being a nuclear super power…

Entire universe was rendered

Grossly helpless by a tiny virus…!

कितनी आसान थी ज़िन्दगी तेरी राहें

मुशकिले हम खुद ही खरीदते है

और कुछ मिल जाये तो अच्छा होता

बहुत पा लेने पे भी यही सोचते है…

O life! How simple were your ways…

We only bought slew of difficulties on our own

Kept craving continuously, even after acquiring a lot,

How nice it would be if only I could get something more

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 39 – “Colosseum” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 39 ?

☆ – “Colosseum” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay 

like a beautiful flower

falling of a branch

landed on the clay

they call worlds play

 

for them you are spectator

and for you they are

here comes the nervousness

they call consciousness

 

and in this brief moment

ride rattling stories

under their hooves

they chain your glories

 

but you will have to play

play with the chains

and embrace this clay

to embrace the way

 

all they want is spectacle

so be your own spectator

dead walls need a sparkle

be the player extraordinaire

 

set your priority not others

but your own chains

brilliant a game when you

are free and them in chains

 

and even if you die then

it won’t go in vein

walks out a free man

not sent or carried from

 

play here in this colosseum

find strength in your cheer

of this really yours arena

be your own Gladiator…

English Literature – Poetry ☆ Common Man… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

Common Man… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

‘Time’

heals

big wounds.

 

Today,

RK Laxman’s

symbol of a “common man”

stands watching

speechless

in Symbiosis campus

passing through

the cycle of time.

Searching its existence

in the aging cartoons

on which

settling,

the dust of time.

 

Whether

like the other cartoon characters

in the world,

his fate

was limited

up to this?

Up to his

creator’s journey

to heaven?

 

No …. No.

He wriggles everyday

when falls on him

first rays of the sun

to

the last rays of the sun

and

all night in the pitch-black darkness.

 

He is eager

for lodging

his presence

in

current topics

socio-political scenario

national and international scenario

the relevant compositions

in cartoons

in poems

in satire

and even in occasional columns

as always

only by staying neutral

like a ‘common man’

 

One says

‘time’

heals

big wounds.

Adorable Life… ?

O’ dear life, my cherished

venerated obeisance to you

For what you have abundantly

bestowed me with…!

*

I accept your gratification

with all my humility…

May be, we’ll not meet again

tomorrow or ever after…!

*

O’ life, let me express my profuse

indebtedness to you…

Thank you for every breath,

every dream you realised…!

*

Thank you for inundating me

with the aspirations galore,

Thank you for everything you

ever materialised for me…!

*

Your luminous aura filled the

life with the bright sunshine,

Your merciful rains soddened

my lands for tilling…!

*

Thanks for lending your hand

that always firmly held me…

Guided me every time through the

vagaries of merciless times..!

*

Thank you, life, once again!

But then who knows, maybe

Tomorrow itself we may meet

in a chance encounter…!
