श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – तुम लिखो कविता! 

उन्होंने कविता और

कवित्व की हँसी उड़ाई,

मैंने कलम उनके हाथ थमाई

और कहा, अब तुम लिखो कविता!

उनकी हँसी अचकचाई,

दृष्टि सकुचाई,

मैंने कलम ली उनके हाथ से

लिखी पक्तियाँ उसी

अचकचाने-सकुचाने पर

और उन्हें ही प्रति थमाई।

सृजन यों ही नहीं जन्मता,

देखना, दृष्टि में यों ही नहीं बदलता,

कविताओं के छत्ते से

तुम भरपूर शहद

भले ही जुटा पाओगे,

स्मरण रहे,

मधुमक्खी तो तब भी नहीं हो पाओगे!

बाहरी जगत के विस्तार का

माइक्रोचिप बनाएगी कविता,

जब कभी भीतर देखना होगा

उन्हें रास्ता दिखायेगी कविता!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

– You Write a Poem… –

They incessantly ridiculed

the poetry and poetics…
 

I handed over a pen

to them and said smiling,

“Now you write a poem!”

Their laughters ceased abruptly

Eyes got perplexly narrowed,

Countenance shrank embarassingly!
 

I took the pen, wrote intricately a

few poetic verses on their predicament

With some hesitation and bewilderment

They took the copy, with a coyish grin..!
 

Creation never gets born just like that,

Seeing never changes the sight just like that,

One may be able to gather plenty of

honey from the hive of poems,

But always remember, even then

you won’t be able to become a bee!
 

Poetry will create a microchip of the

expansion of the external world,

Whenever one has to look within,

poetry will show him the way forward..!

~Pravin
