We present his awesome poem Sand of Time…. 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.  

☆ Sand of Time…? ☆

☆

It’s not that I have changed

grossly ever since you left

I am still the very same

ever since you departed..

*

If you think I am wrong,

then also you’re totally right,

Because you always happened

to be correct, customarily…

*

As such, I’ve a genetic lineage

with the dynasty of pain..

Incidentally, you also did

accentuate it, drastically…

*

I too want to celebrate the

life to its fullest extent…

But the sand of time is slipping

too fast through my hand..!

☆ My Abode…? ☆

☆

Oh, No! I can never think of leaving this house ever

But, I don’t either want to live in a dwelling this old

*

Though our dignity is intact in this abode; but then,

I can never think of trading my self-esteem either

*

With borrowed feet, hands and head of someone,

No! Never can I even think of increasing my height

*

I’d rather starve than accepting alms from anyone

No! I don’t need any beguiled benevolence from you

*

O’ Lord! If you gave eyes, then give me sights to behold,

How long can I remain staring at the same walls..!

चलो अब जाने भी दो

क्या करोगे दास्तां सुनकर

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!

☆☆☆☆☆

वो मुझसे हारा तो जरूर पर

मेरी पीठ थपथपा के गया…

मेरा  गुरुर,  मेरी  जीत

सब मिट्टी में मिला के गया…!

☆☆

He lost to me but his gentle

conceding pat on my back…

Shattered my ego, my victory

my pride to the smithereens..!

☆☆☆☆☆

कुछ ऐसे हो गए है

इस दौर के रिश्ते,

आवाज अगर तुम ना दो

तो बोलते वह भी नही..!

☆☆

Relationships of this era

have become such that

If you don’t invoke them 

then they also won’t speak

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 45 – “Things…” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 45 ?

☆ –“Things”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

Things you haven’t got

are the strings

that make you move

and the things you have got

are the wings that lift you

 *

things will be there

like a forever glue

be detached

or become a thing too

* 

when a thing is missed

crying is what children do

but in the next moment

find something else to do

 *

be the child of destiny

and things won’t affect you

like a child plays in a clay

play with the earth, will you?

Always keep your passion alive at

the forefront of your journey

Do look ignorant but you must

have the news of the entire town…

*

Even if your eyes are set on the sky,

Keep your feet firmly on ground

Let anyone decide the matter, but you

must keep your point forcefully…

*

Your eyes keep staring at me constantly

You must keep an eye on your eyes…

Who knows when’ll it be time to leave

You must be ready for final adieu..!

काश मिल जाये हमें भी

कोई किसी आईने की तरह

जो हँसे भी साथ साथ

और रोये भी साथ साथ…

☆☆

Wish I could also have

Someone like a mirror

Who could laugh together

And  even  cry together …

☆☆☆☆

उन्हें  ठहरे…

समुंदर  ने  डुबोया

जिन्हें  तूफ़ाँ  का…

अंदाज़ा  बहुत  था…

☆☆

Calm seas…

drowned them only…

Who claimed to have great 

experience of braving the storms

☆☆☆☆

तकलीफ खुद ही

कम हो गई…

जब अपनों से…

उम्मीद कम हो गई..

☆☆

The suffering itself got

conclusively reduced,

When expectations from

the loved ones minimized…

☆☆☆☆

पत्तों सी होती है कई रिश्तों

की उम्र, आज हरे कल सूखे….

क्यों  न  हम जड़ों  से  ही

उम्र भर रिश्ते निभाना सीखें…

☆☆

 Age of many relationships is like

leaves; today green, tomorrow dried… 

Why don’t we learn from roots

To maintain the relationship …

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 44 – “Desert Rose…” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 44 ?

☆ –“Desert Rose”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

(Based on My Persian Adventure)

☆

See the rose

blooming in the desert

stands speechless beauty

in the noise of bigot

 

like the island of hope

in the sea of despair

like the face of crescent

in the desert’s glare

 

When cloud sees her

with his heart

oh dear his decorum

just falls apart

 

but what a passing cloud

could possibly do

can’t soak the desert

even if he wishes to

 

few tears he can shed

words that give the shade

put little pause on her endless search

give touch that touches without touch

☆ Artfully Wily ☆

Only a glance  of  your true friend,

knows you thoroughly,  inside out…

Otherwise  even  sworn  enemies

mask their pretty  faces guilefully..!

☆☆☆☆

☆ Effulgent Sun ☆

Even when  dejected, don’t

ever be the dusking Sun…

Life is like the radiant Sun

Keep  shining  resplendently…!

☆☆☆☆

☆ Matchless Ailment ☆

Neither does exist any  cure

Nor is  there  any  remedy…

O’ ailment of love! Matching you

nothing has ever existed..!

☆☆☆☆

☆ Predicaments ☆

Have seen so many predicaments

Through the eyes of the times…

Moments had committed mistake

But the centuries got punished..!

☆ Your Memories… ? ☆

☆

Somewhere the moon got lost on the way,

Even the moonlight also got faded away

I’m a lamp, that too, an extinguished one

Then, how come my night shone so brightly

*

The genesis of my story was under the

shade of your gleaming divine eyes

You were supposed to be awake with me,

then, how come you fell asleep so quickly…

*

Even if we met, wasn’t it meaningless

with same distances, same separation?

Neither could I take a step forward nor

did your hesitation ever go away..!

*

From your hand to my lips exists the same

everlasting unquenchable mystic thirst

The liquor intended for me got mysteriously

spilled so haplessly, somewhere on the way…

*

Never ever my desperate attempts to

forget you could ever materialise

Like the branches of rose, your memories

kept swaying, whenever the wind blew..!

खामोशियां बोल देती है

ज़िनकी बातें नहीं होती..

दोस्ती उनकी भी क़ायम है

ज़िनकी मुलाक़ातें नहीं होती…

☆☆ 

Silence converses with them 

who don’t talk to each other…

Friendship flourishes of those too,  

Who don’t  even get to meet…

बेदाग़ रख महफूज़ रख

मैली न कर तू ज़िन्दगी…

मिलती नहीं इँसान को…

किरदार की चादर नईं…

Keep it spotless, keep it secure

Your life don’t you ever stain

For man does not receive again

A fresh mask for his character

क्या कहना उनका जो हवाओं में 

सलीक़े से  ख़ुशबू घोल देते हैं 

फ़िज़ाएँ मुश्कबार हो जाती हैं   

फ़क़त जिनके खयाल से…

☆☆

What  to say about her who

infuses aroma in the winds

Whose thought alone turns

Whole environment fragrant

 ☆☆☆☆

बस इतना सा असर होगा

हमारी यादों का

कि कभी कभी तुम बिना

बात मुस्कुराओगे…

☆☆

The only effect of my

Memories will be that

Sometimes without any

Reason you will smile…!
