❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मेरे होने में किसी तौर से

शामिल  हो  जाओ,

गर तुम मसीहा नहीं होते हो

तो क़ातिल ही हो जाओ…

Merge in my existence in

some way or the other,

If you can’t become Messiah,

then try being an assassin!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

ख़ुदा  करे कि तुझे

इश्क हो मेरे जैसा

और तुझे महबूब

मिले खुद तेरे जैसा…

May God make you

fall in love like me…

And,  may  you  get

a lover like yourself…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

रिश्वत भी नहीं लेती

मुझे छोड़ने की…

कम्बख्त ये तेरी यादें

भी ईमानदार लगती हैं…

They don’t even take

bribe to leave me…

Your wretched memories

also seem to be honest..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सितमग़र का हर निशाना

बे-ख़ता  रहा …

हर बार तीर निकला

ज़िगर  चीरता  हुआ…

Every aim of the tyrant

was bang on the target

Each  time  it  pierced

through the heart only…

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 awesome translation.)

Pen broke free, yet again…!

☆ Eternal Silence… ☆

Meaningful intent of  life,

Epicenter of battle for the existence

What is the explanation thereof,

What is the complementarity…

But, yet again

the same perennial

silence only…

Escape from the truth,

Rules of foreordination,

Proximity to the destination,

Encounter with the rigours of destiny…

Accounts of the Karmas,

Desire of the deathlessness, immortality or eternity…

The cycle of ‘Birth-and-Death’

Or merging with the finality…

Infiniteness of the universe

Unanswered questions

yet again,

The same eternal

silence…!

 –Pravin Raghuvanshi

☆ चिरशांति… ☆

क्या है जीवन की सार्थकता

क्या है अस्तित्व का महासंग्राम

क्या है इसका स्पष्टीकरण

क्या है इसकी पूरकता

परंतु निरंतर मिलती है

निरुत्तरता ही निरुत्तरता…

सत्य से पलायन सम्भव नहीं

प्रारब्ध के नियम रहते सतत गतिमान

गंतव्य की निकटता हो

या नियति से भेंट,

परंतु यहाँ भी वही अवरोध:

कर्मफलों का लेखा-जोखा

फिर भी निरंतर चाह

अजरता, अमरता और अमृत्व की…

चिरकालिक प्रश्न:

जन्म-मृत्यु चक्र का फेर

या सम्पूर्णता में विलीनता

या ब्रह्मांड की अनंतता

रहते हमेशा ही अनुत्तरित…

चाहे कितना भी रहो प्रयासरत

अंततः

फिर वही चिरशांति…

–  प्रवीण रघुवंशी

Ms Leena Mittal Kheria

हाशिये पर हैं अब वो सारे रिश्ते

जिन पर कभी हमको गुमान था

बपौती है उनकी मेरी ज़िंदगी

उन्हें इस बात का इत्मीनान था..

हैं इतनी तल्खियॉं अब दरम्यान

कि मानो पुश्तैनी अदावत हो

है आजकल मंजर कुछ ऐसा

मानो खुद की खुद से बगावत हो..

उनकी हैं रवायतें कुछ ऐसी कि

उन्हें तकरार से भी गुरेज़ नही

कीमत चाहे कुछ भी चुकानी पड़े

उन्हें इस बात से कतई परहेज़ नही…

अपनी हुकूमत अपने अख़्तियार के

वो अब बेइन्तिहा नशे में चूर हैं

जब जो चाहें मन मर्जी करें

ना जाने क्यूँ इस कदर मगरूर हैं ..

फाक्ता हो गये मेरे सारे ख्वाब

हकीकत से वाबस्ता हुई हूँ मैं

ज़िंदगी के बेइंतहा ज़ुल्मों सितम

रुसवाइयों से रूबरू हुई हूँ मैं ..

☆ Bitter Grudges… ☆

 All the grand relationships

That we were proud of

are marginalized now…

Although, he considered my life

as his personalized sole property…

There is mountain of  lasting

bitterness now, as if ancestral

family feud  has  been waged

My state, these days, is as if  I’m

a mutinous rebellion to my ownself …

He has some customary habits

Of not even bothering to squabble

No matter what price we have to pay

He’d never be concerned at all…

Conceitedly,  ever insolent,

He runs his self-rulings openly, 

Always imposing own authority,

beastly free own-will, arbitrarily…

All  my  rosy  dreams are

summarily shattered now

As I’m introduced to life’s newer

harsh realities, suffused with

rampant oppressions..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

भरोसा जितना कीमती होता जाता है

धोखा भी उतना ही महंगा हो जाता है

ईमानदारी का दाम भला कौन जाने

यहाँ हर बेईमान शहंशाह बना जाता है

More the trust intensifies

Costlier becomes the betrayal

Who cares the honesty here

Cheats only rules the roost…..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

बहुत कुछ बदल जाता है

बढ़ती उम्र के साथ,

पहले हम ‘ज़िद‘  किया करते थे,

अब ‘समझौते‘….

A  lot  changes…

With  the  growing  age,

Earlier I’d demand stubbornly

Now just the compromises!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ना जाने कौन रह गया है

भीगने  से  इस  शहर में,

जिसके लिए लौटती है

रह-रह के बारिश फिर से

Do not know who is left in

this city from getting wet,

For  whom  the rain keeps

returning again and again…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

एक ख़लिश सी

रह  गयी  दिल  में,

A little grudge is

left  in  the  heart,

How I wish someone could

love me like me only…!

Every time, through diligence,

the translator of my compositions,

could reach close to the original…

But this time, he has surpassed

all the limits of gumption

As he has translated

my silence…

Each time, a reader

reads it,

a new meaning emerges

Knoweth not,

the translation is multi-dimensional or my

silence is ubiquitously all-encompassing…!

Bowing low survived merrily!

Take the boat there only

बार-बार इशारा कर

वह बुलाती रही,

देख समझ कर भी

वह अनदेखा रहा,

एक-दूसरे के प्रति

असीम आकर्षण,

एक-दूसरे के प्रति

अबूझ भय,

धूप-छाँह सी

उनकी प्रीत,

अंधेरे-उजाले सी

उनकी रिपुआई,

वे टालते हैं मिलना

प्राय: सर्वदा

पर जितना टला

मिलन उतना अटल हुआ,

जब भी मिले

एकाकार अस्तित्व चुना,

चैतन्य, पार्थिव जो भी रहा

रहा अद्वैत सदा,

चाहे कितने उदाहरण

दे जग प्रेम-तपस्या के,

जीवन और मृत्यु का नेह

किसीने कब समझा भला!

☆ Union… ☆

Repeatedly gesticulating,

she kept on calling,

Even after seeing her

He feigned to be ignorant,

Infinite charm,

lethal attraction

kept pulling them

towards each other…

But, the unknown fear,

Kept them at bay…

Their lasting love

remained like

Scorching Sun and

the soothing shade

Their rancor kept nurturing

like the light and darkness…

They avoided meeting

As much as possible

Kept postponing their union

almost always…

But then, their union

became so inevitable,

However hard they

Chose to be singularly existent…

Dead or alive

Mortal or immortal

whoever lived

Always been monistic,

the advaita,

No matter

how many references

the world may quote

of love-penance,

But, who could ever understand

the amorous affinity between

the Life and death…!

वह चलता रहा

वे हँसते रहे..,

वह बढ़ता रहा

वे दम भरते रहे..,

शनै:-शनै: वह

निकल आया दूर,

इतनी दूरी तय करना

बूते में नहीं, सोचकर

सारे के सारे ऐंठे हैं..,

कछुए की सक्रियता के विरुद्ध

खरगोश धरने पर बैठे हैं..!

☆ Dharna, the Agitation… ☆

He kept on walking

They kept on laughing…,

He kept moving

They kept on envying…,

Gradually but steadily

Slowly but assuredly

he moved too far away,

Considering that

covering such a distance

is not possible

All are seething in anger…,

Against the tortoise’s

dogged perseverance

The rabbits are sitting on

Agitation, the ‘Dharna’ ..
