☆ – “Do not give me…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆
Do not give me Wealth
Before Enlightening me..
Do not give me Power
Before giving Worthy Enemy..
Do not Give me Love
Before making me Thirsty..
Do not Give me Fame
Before Realising the Chaos..
Do not Give me Life
Before Showing me Meaning..
For Every Hanging Fruit
Is not Apple After Tasting it..

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना
संजय दृष्टि – भय 
साँप का भय
बहुत है मनुष्य में,
दिखते ही बर्बरता से
कुचल दिया जाता है,
सूँघते ही दोपाया
जान बचाकर भागता है,
मनुष्य का भय
बहुत है साँप में..!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi
– Who’s Lethal…?–
There exists an immense
fear of the snakes
in the ever mortally
scared human beings…
As soon as they’re sighted,
they’re brutally crushed
to the death without
any rhyme or reason…
But the very moment,
snake senses the presence
of humans, it just flees
away to save its life…
Obviously bu quzzically
the snakes are far more
mortally scared of the
lethally savage mankind..!

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना
संजय दृष्टि – अक्स
कैसे चलती है क़लम
कैसे रच लेते हो रोज़?
खुद से अनजान हूँ
पता पूछता हूँ रोज़,
खुदको हेरता हूँ रोज़,
दर्पण देखता हूँ रोज़,
बस अपने ही अक्स
यों ही लिखता हूँ रोज़!

~ Creativity…–
How does your pen move
so much every day…?
How d’you manage
to write so creatively..?
Unknown to self, I’m
perennially in quest of myself,
I just keep searching for
the self-address every day…
As I look into the mirror,
I find myriad reflections
Of myself that make me
write every day, effortlessly..!

काश सीख पाते हम भी
मीठा झूठ बोलने का हुनर…
कड़वे सच ने तो ना जाने
कितने लोग हमसे छीन लिए..!
☆☆
Wish I could also learn the
art of telling the sweet lies…
Knoweth not how many people
bitter truth snatched from me..!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Double-faced people…☆
एक जमाने से मुझे तलाश है
ख़ुद जैसों की, क्या करूँ
दोरूखी फितरत वालों से
कभी मेरी बनी ही नहीं
☆☆
I have been searching for
someone like me since long,
What to do, I cannot get along
with the double faced people…!
☆ Failing Prayers…☆
नीचे आ गिरती है,
हर बार दुआ मेरी,
पता नहीं किस ऊंचाईं
पर रब रहता है…!
☆☆
At every effort, my benedictive
prayers keep crashing down…
Knoweth not at what height
does the God Almighty reside!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Popular Merchandise…☆
जब आईने बेचा करता था
तो आता ना था कोई,
रखने लगा जब से मुखौटे
तो फुर्सत ही नहीं रही…!
☆☆
When I used to sell mirrors,
no one would come to buy
Ever since I started selling masks
I don’t get any free time…!

☆ – “The Wealth…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆
Not a finer lady than her
Never make her ugly
For her father is God only
Never try to take her
For she can be given only
Raise her children with love
Or they will part you apart
For her mother is destiny only…

☆ Richly Poor…☆
न जाने कहाँ से खरीद
लाया है इतनी फुरसतें ,
वो जो बहुत अमीर भी
नहीं दिखाता है…!
☆☆
Knoweth not from where has he
bought so much of leisure,
The one who does not even
look rich from any angle…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Palmistry…☆
कमबख्त एक भी काम
की ना निकली,
और हाथ भरा पड़ा है
तमाम लकीरों से…
☆☆
Alas! Not even a single
one was of any use,
While, the hand was full
of these wretched lines…
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Adorable Weather…☆
कितना सुहाना सा लगता है
तुम्हारे शहर का मौसम,
अगर इजाजत हो तो
मैं एक शाम चुरा लूँ…
☆☆
How endearing is the
weather of your city
If you permit me, then I’d
like to steal an evening.
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Maze of Relationships…☆
अगर दिलों में फर्क और
रिश्तों में गांठ पड़ जाये
तो सारी दलीलें, मिन्नतें और
फलसफे बेमानी हो जाते हैं..!
☆☆
If there’re differences in the hearts
and bitterness in the relationships
Then all the arguments, pleadings and
philosophies become meaningless…!

☆ – “Story of an Eagle…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆
In the dark flies the butterfly
I run to catch the uncatchable
pleasure, that is unreachable.
But I reached very close
and saw a beautiful rose.
A rose i wished to be mine
but it gave me a beautiful sign.
That some roses are delicate
and you aren’t that fortunate.
But it couldn’t resist the fragrance
and I woke up from my ignorance.
In the light flies away the eagle..

☆ Life-giving Trees…☆
निरंतर शोभित कराते महामार्गों को
जीवनदाई वृक्षों कि ये अनंत कतार
प्राण तजते, क्रूर विकास-पटल पर
पुनः रोपित होते, करते अपना विस्तार…!
☆☆
Continuously adoring the highways are
these endless rows of life-giving trees
Sacrifice themselves, on the cruel altar of
development but they resurrect again…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Untrue Dreams…☆
ख़्वाब झूठे ही सही
मगर कम से कम
तुमसे मुलाक़ात तो
रोज़ करवाते हैं…
☆☆
Dreams may be false
but at least
they make me meet
you every day…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Shortcomings…☆
☆☆
कमियाँ खोजोगे तो
तमाम मिल ही जाएंगी …
रब के बंदे हैं, साहब
खुद रब तो नहीं…!
☆☆
If you look for imperfections,
You will find in plenty
I’m the God’s servitor, Sire,
Not the Lord Himself…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Sincerety…☆
दरवाज़ा मेरे घर का
बंद देख कर
झोंका हवा का खिड़की के पर्दे
हिला के चला गया…
☆☆
Seeing the door of
my house closed…
Gust of wind shook the window
curtains and went away…

☆ – “You…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆
Let me sit in your heart for a while
and see through your eyes to last mile
Let me borrow your life for a while
and feel your love while it’s alive
It is your joy,
that bursts through my words
It is your anger,
that cuts through my margins
It is your love,
that draws my lines straight
It is your ecstasy,
that lingers through the pages
and It is your pain,
that flows through my pen
Without your thoughts,
there is no philosophy
Without your act,
there is no story
Without your voice,
there is no silence
and without your silence,
there is no statement!
For without meaning, words are Lifeless
so do this poem, without your essence..

सब पढ़ना,
सब गुनना,
अपना-अपना

लोभी हूँ,
हरेक का अर्थ
घटित होते देखना चाहता हूँ,

~ Greed…~
Been writing silence
far and wide…
Scripting it for
a long time…
Reading everything,
Contemplating everything,
Weaving own meaning…!
I am selfishly greedy,
I want to see
every meaning
coming to fruition,
I want to see
my poetry becoming
polymathically
multi-dimensional..!
