☆ संजय दृष्टि  ☆ अंकुर..

छिन्न-भिन्न कर दिया

अस्तित्व तुम्हारा,

फिर भी

तुम्हारी हिम्मत

टूटती क्यों नहीं,

आस मिटती

क्यों नहीं..?

झल्लाकर पूछा

कुटिल स्थितियों ने…,

मैं अपलक निहारता रहा

ध्वस्त कर दी गई

इमारत के मलबे से

फूटते अंकुर को…,

कुटिलता मुरझा गई,

स्थितियाँ खिसिया गईं!

☆ Germination .. ☆

Crooked circumstances

asked fretfully,

I’ve shattered apart

your existence,

Nevertheless,

Why doesn’t

your courage ever break…??

Why is that your

hope never fades away..??

Why not…!!

I kept staring intently

at the germinating sprout

rising from the ruins

of the demolished building,

Crookedness paled

embarrassingly,

Circumstances fled away

like a thrashed army!
