श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि –  अलिखित  

सुनो-

कलरव से

नीरव हो जाने में

समय नहीं लगता

पर नीरव से

कलरव लाने में

बीत जाते हैं युग,

चुक जाती हैं सदियाँ,

उपसर्ग भर बदलने से

कितने बदल जाते हैं शब्द,

उनका अर्थ और

अ-लिखा शब्दकोश!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

– Unwritten ‘Un’ Dictionary… –

Listen-

It doesn’t take much

time to go from vivacious

chirping to  stark silence…

But,  centuries  go  by,

Or even it takes many ages

to bring festive liveliness

from sombre lifelessness,

Just imagine how many

words turn topsy-tervy 

just by changing the prefix,

Rewriting their meaning and

creating an ‘un’written dictionary!

~Pravin
