मेरे नाम के साथ कितना 

अच्छा लगता है तेरा नाम…

जैसे खूबसूरत सुबह के साथ

जुड़ी हो प्यारी एक शाम…

☆☆

How nicely combines your

Name with my name…

Like a beautiful morning

Merging with a lovely evening!

☆☆☆☆☆

पी लिया करते हैं 

जीने की तमन्ना में कभी…

डगमगाना भी जरुरी है

सम्भलने के लिये…!

☆☆

Sometimes I do drink

Aspiring to live the life

It’s a must to wobble 

To get stablized…

☆☆☆☆☆

दरिया की दहलीज पर बैठी

सोच रही हैं ये आँखे…

आखिर कितना वक्त लगेगा

सारे ख्बाब बहाने में…

☆☆

On the threshold of riverbank

Curious eyes wonder puzzlingly

After all how long will it take

To float away all the dreams…!

☆☆☆☆☆

वक़्त की कसौटी पर बैठा

सोच रहा है पौरुष…

और कितना दम लगा दूं

मन माफिक कर जाने में…

☆☆

Sitting at the touchstone of time

Contemplates the  masculinity,

How much more efforts do I need

To fulfill my aspirational cravings

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – उत्सवधर्मी   

जीवन की अंतिम घड़ी

श्यामल छाया सम्मुख खड़ी,

चित्र चक्र-सा घूमा,

क्षण भर विहँसा,

छाया के संग चल पड़ा,

छाया विस्मित!

जीवन से वितृष्णा

या जीवन से प्रीत?

न वितृष्णा न प्रीत,

ब्रह्मांड की सनातन रीत,

अंत नहीं तो आरंभ नहीं,

गमन नहीं तो आगमन नहीं,

मैं आदि सूत्रधार हूँ,

आत्मा का भौतिक आकार हूँ,

सृष्टि के मंच का रंगकर्मी हूँ,

सृजन का सनातन उत्सवधर्मी हूँ!

One who used to claim

than remembering you…!

पुरानी होकर भी खास

मोहब्बत बेशर्म है जनाब     

बेहिसाब होती जा रही है…!

Getting older but becoming 

Distinctively  more special…

Love is brazenly shameless sir!

Growing incalculably day by day!

सिमटते जा रहे हैं दिल

Just the experts in bargaining,

अनेक द्वार,

अनंत द्वार,

अंतत: आ पहुँचा

मिटते नहीं देख सकता मैं,

चिरंजीव जिज्ञासा लिए

उल्टे कदम लौट पड़ा मैं,

मुक्ति नहीं तृप्ति चाहिए मुझे,

निर्वाण नहीं सृष्टि चाहिए मुझे!

☆ – “My Wife”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’

for she is a ‘Better Friend’

Though she never cooks for me

yet the food tasted always good

For she never ate without me

My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’

for she never stopped me

Though she never came with me

yet I travelled the distances

for she didn’t stop me

Neither she gave gestures of love

nor the tantrums of hate

yet in silence she thought about me

My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’

for she loves ‘My’ children more than me

She once was my lover

then bore my children

but became my mother indeed

They bare my name

and will carry my lineage

yet she gave them, her everything

My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’

for she set me ‘Free’

Oh she loves me now so less

that she bares the pain

As I speak my mind to women

Oh she loves me now so less

that she ‘Understands’

I am Loveless

But My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’

for she is like my ‘Poetry’

most beautiful only to my eyes

but mundane to others…

I choose to Smile

not over her but for her

for how can one smile

over his own Love

I choose to Smile

for she is doing

exactly the same thing

I would do in her place

I choose to Smile

even though she is smiling

for She wouldn’t cry

If were in my place

I choose to Smile

even though she isn’t with me

for it’s impossible to be

So She remains young in my eyes

I choose to Smile with tears

even though I am wounded

for when blood flows out of the wound

The same wound brings her in…
