☆ – “Ascending” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

Do you want to ascend from your pit?

then be ready for a wild Ride

A ride where you can not really Hide ..

Think of Ascending as a War

A war against Outsiders

where you get Scars from Insiders ..

A war that hurts you bad

stabs that come to the Heart

and opinions that cut you Apart ..

You have to Kill too

kill the emotions of unwise Dears

and in solitude drink own Tears ..

You have to Face too

face the society and it’s Trials

but escape through nude Aisles ..

Can you become calculated savage?

If you can, Then the way is ascending

If un-calculated, Be sure of descending ..

Finally old you have to Surrender

Surrender in the arms of Destiny

There you realise a real Sanctity ..

And

You come out of the Pit

Where hugs You a nude savage Beauty

Fortuna is the name of that primal Nudity…

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि –  संतृप्त  

दुनिया को जितना देखोगे,

दुनिया को जितना समझोगे,

दुनिया को जितना जानोगे,

दुनिया को उतना पाओगे,

अशेष लिप्सा है दुनिया,

जितना कंठ तर करेगी,

तृष्णा उतनी ही बढ़ेगी,

मैं अपवाद रहा

या शायद असफल,

दुनिया को जितना देखा,

दुनिया को जितना समझा,

दुनिया में जितना उतरा,

तृष्णा का कद घटता गया,

भीतर ही भीतर एक

संतृप्त जगत बनता गया!

☆ Respect… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

I’m not

as you are thinking.

You have seen

my body;

the dress of soul!

Don’t respect me

my body

the dress of soul.

Try to search

another side of the wall

hanging between

dress and soul.

If you succeed

then

I will respect you

else

you disrespect me.

☆ Remembrance… ☆

कहीं  बैठकर जरूर कोई

मुझे  याद कर रहा होगा…

ये हिचकी शाम से यूँ ही

तो  नहीं आ रही होगी..!

☆☆

Somewhere someone must be

remembering me for sure…

These hiccups aren’t coming

for nothing since evening..!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ No Difference whatsover… ☆

☆☆

पड़ चुका है

फर्क अब इतना…

कि अब फर्क ही

नहीं पड़ता…!

☆☆

Gone through so much

of aberrations…

That it doesn’t

matter anymore…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Quid Pro Quo… ☆

☆☆

अगर तुम बदले तो हम भी

क्यों रहेंगे पुराने वाले,

अगर तुम बेरुखी बरतते रहे तो

हम भी कहाँ बोलने वाले…!

☆☆

If you’ve changed yourself then

Why’ll I remain my old self…

If you keep acting indifferently

Then why’ll I be debonair…!

☆☆☆☆☆

कुछ तो बेवफ़ाई है

मुझ में भी…

जो अब तक ज़िंदा हूँ

तेरे बगैर भी…

☆☆

Some infidelity must be

there in me too..

that’s why I am still

alive without you…!

☆ – “Alive” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

Do not let your Feet shake

When world looks at you

Do not make your face weep smile

For success is not guilt for you

Walk in this valley of deads

but do not let your spirit die

They will mock you for being alive

but don’t listen to lifeless passerby

Do not be afraid of their shadows

Because They fear your inner light

Do not be afraid of their numbers

For They are not capable of Fight

Even if you die while walking path

Do not be touched by sorrows

Dead Eagle is still meaningful

for his feathers give flight to arrows

Heavens are not at the ends

They are when you are living

Hells are just below your Feet

so do not stop walking

Remember,

Beauty is of no use to corpse

and Treasures don’t fit in the grave

Both of them are for the alive

Because Fortune Favours the brave

☆ Words …  on my heart’s paper boat ☆

The mist

soft wind

a piece of sunshine

between the clouds

miles away

on foreign land

slips on

old city

old buildings

old forts, palaces

on the surface of the river

and on the lake

every afternoon

far away

up to where

goes my vision.

And then,

suddenly

words seem to flow,

on my heart’s paper boat

on

black road like river

far

on the turn

downhill

and

finally lost

by the lake

by the river

and

old city

old city lanes.

And then

suddenly shatters

earthy scent

of the homeland

in the entire

environment.

Words start

squirting

floating

and soaking

my heart’s paper boat

with words

to conscience

eyes

and

far on mountain slopes

a black river like roadsides

roofs of houses

and

house

where lives

a piece of my heart

under the shadow of

a piece of sun rays.

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि –  अलिखित  

सुनो-

कलरव से

नीरव हो जाने में

समय नहीं लगता

पर नीरव से

कलरव लाने में

बीत जाते हैं युग,

चुक जाती हैं सदियाँ,

उपसर्ग भर बदलने से

कितने बदल जाते हैं शब्द,

उनका अर्थ और

अ-लिखा शब्दकोश!

– Unwritten ‘Un’ Dictionary… –

Listen-

It doesn’t take much

time to go from vivacious

chirping to  stark silence…

But,  centuries  go  by,

Or even it takes many ages

to bring festive liveliness

from sombre lifelessness,

Just imagine how many

words turn topsy-tervy 

just by changing the prefix,

Rewriting their meaning and

creating an ‘un’written dictionary!
