श्री संजय भारद्वाज 

☆ संजय दृष्टि –  एकाकार ☆

बार-बार इशारा कर

वह बुलाती रही,

देख समझ कर भी

वह अनदेखा रहा,

एक-दूसरे के प्रति

असीम आकर्षण,

एक-दूसरे के प्रति

अबूझ भय,

धूप-छाँह सी

उनकी प्रीत,

अंधेरे-उजाले सी

उनकी रिपुआई,

वे टालते हैं मिलना

प्राय: सर्वदा

पर जितना टला

मिलन उतना अटल हुआ,

जब भी मिले

एकाकार अस्तित्व चुना,

चैतन्य, पार्थिव जो भी रहा

रहा अद्वैत सदा,

चाहे कितने उदाहरण

दे जग प्रेम-तपस्या के,

जीवन और मृत्यु का नेह

किसीने कब समझा भला!

Union… ☆

Repeatedly gesticulating,

she kept on calling,

Even after seeing her

He feigned to be ignorant,

Infinite charm,

lethal attraction

kept pulling them

towards each other…

But, the unknown fear,

Kept them at bay…

 

Their lasting love

remained like

Scorching Sun and

the soothing shade

Their rancor kept nurturing

like the light and darkness…

 

They avoided meeting

As much as possible

Kept postponing their union

almost always…

But then, their union

became so inevitable,

However hard they

Chose to be singularly existent…

 

Dead or alive

Mortal or immortal

whoever lived

Always been monistic,

the advaita,

No matter

how many references

the world may quote

of love-penance,

But, who could ever understand

the amorous affinity between

the Life and death…!
