श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना
शब्दकोश 
वह लिखती रही विरह,
मैं बाँचता रहा मिलन,
चलो शोध करें,
दृष्टि बदलने से
शब्द का अर्थ
बदल जाता है क्या?
…और पता नहीं कैसे
मेरे पास बदले अर्थों का
एक शब्दकोष
संचित हो गया है..!
© संजय भारद्वाज
Paradoxical Dictionary… She kept writing
about the separation,
and I professed
about the union…
Let’s brainstorm,
if changing the vision,
changes the meaning
of the word?
…And, I don’t know
as to how I have got
a huge dictionary of
changed meanings…!
