श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – कवि

विशेषज्ञ हूँ,

तीन भुजाएँ खींचता हूँ,

तीन कोण बनाता हूँ,

तब त्रिभुज नाम दे पाता हूँ..,

तुम क्या करते हो कविवर?

विशेष कुछ नहीं,

बस, त्रिभुज में

चौथा कोण देख पाता हूँ..!

~ Poet… ~ 

I am an expert

I draw three sides

make three angles

Then I name it a triangle..,

And, what do you do, Mr Poet?

Nothing special,

Just in that triangle

I’m able to see

the fourth angle..!

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – मिलन

नश्वर आशंकाएँ खेत रहीं,

शाश्वत आकांक्षाएँ बनी रहीं,

ठगा-सा तकता रहा संसार,

चलो मिलें फिर देह के पार..!

~ Union… ~ 

Mortal apprehensions

got annihilated,

Eternal aspirations

remained alive…,

The world kept looking

stunningly bewildered,

Come, let’s meet again

to unite beyond

this mortal body…!

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – अस्तित्व 

पहाड़ की ऊँची चोटियों के बीच

अपने कद को बेहद छोटा पाया,

पलट कर देखा,

काफी नीचे सड़क पर

कुछ बिंदुओं को हिलते डुलते पाया,

ये वही राहगीर थे,

जिन्हें मैं पीछे छोड़ आया था,

ऊँचाई पर हूँ, ऊँचा हूँ,

सोचकर मन भरमाया,

एकाएक चोटियों से साक्षात्कार हुआ,

भीतर और बाहर एकाकार हुआ,

ऊँचाई पर पहुँच कर भी,

छोटापन नहीं छूटा

तो फिर क्या छूटा?

शिखर पर आकर भी

खुद को नहीं जीता

तो फिर क्या जीता?

पर्वतों के साये में,

आसमान के नीचे,

मन बौनापन अनुभव कर रहा था,

पर अब मेरा कद

चोटियों को छू रहा था..!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

~ Existence… ~ 

In the midst of the skyscraping

mountain peaks

found my stature too short,

Looked back,

down the road

found some points moving,

These were the passers-by

whom I had left behind

on my way up…

I’m at the height, I’m way too high

My ego got inflated…

Suddenly met with the peaks,

Inside and outside merged in unison,

Realisation dawned,

even at the top,

smallness has not gone

Then, what has left?

Even at the peak

I couldn’t even win myself

Then what have I won…?

In the shade of the mountains,

under the sky,

Feeling of dwarfness engulfed me,

But now my height

was touching the summit..!
