We present an English Version of Shri Sanjay Bhardwaj’s Hindi poem “विधाता ”. We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji (who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages) for this beautiful translation and his artwork.)
He, the penman,
raised His pen, and
drew a line
in between my being
and nonexistence
Then He
handed me over His pen,
Overwhelmed, I threaded
a garland of words
on that line…
Lakshmanrekha*,
got transformed
into the ‘Headline’
The bewildered penman,
now, was staring at
the grand vast-form,
hidden in the words;
and was experiencing
that there are more
creations and
the creators
beyond His
comprehension..!
