गर यूँही घर में बैठा रहा

मार डालेगी तनहाइयाँ…

चल चलें मैखाने में जरा

ये फ़ना दिल बहल जायेगा…

☆☆

If I keep staying at home like this

The aloofness is going to  kill me

O’ dear  let’s  just  go to the bar…

This dying heart will come alive!

☆☆☆☆☆

इक किस्सा अधूरे इश्क़ का

आज भी है दरम्यान तेरे मेरे…

हैं मौजूद साहिलों की रेत पे

पैरों के कुछ निशान तेरे मेरे…

☆☆

A tale of inconclusive love still

exists between us, even today…

Few of our footprints are still

Present on the sand of shores…

☆☆☆☆☆

मरता तो कोई नही

किसी के प्यार में…

बस यादें कत्ल करती

रहती है किश्तों-किश्तों में…

☆☆

Nobody ever dies in

someone’s  love…

In installments just the

Memories  keep killing you…

☆☆☆☆☆

दीदार की तलब हो तो

नज़रें जमाये रखिये,

क्योंकि नक़ाब हो या नसीब, 

सरकता  तो  जरूर है…

☆☆

If urge of her glimpse is there

Then keep an eye on it patiently

Coz whether it’s the  mask or

luck , it moves for sure…

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 59 – “Sandalwood…” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 59 ?

☆ – “Sandalwood”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

Like a precious sandalwood tree

Humanity is a beautiful tree

which takes ages to grow fully

and many more

for fragrance to fly loosely

 

like it we too have grown

from the rubbles of soil

and like a tiny sapling

we too have had our battling

 

like tree is not known by its foliage

for leaves fall when the fall comes

only to grow again and again

but known by its trunk and roots

for heights and depths they attain

 

no wonder the sandal remains

right between the trunk and the roots

and our beauty shines

below the hat and well above our boots

 

be the core of sandalwood tree

and become not the leaves

only to be bigger or smaller than one Another

live in the core of humanity

For You and Humanity will grow Together…

English Literature – Poetry ☆ विश्वास बादल तो नहीं…’ स्व डॉ राजकुमार तिवारी ‘सुमित्र’ – Faith isn’t cloud ☆ English Version by – Hemant Bawankar ☆

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Hemant Bawankar

? ‘विश्वास बादल तो नहीं…’ स्व डॉ राजकुमार तिवारी ‘सुमित्र’ – Faith isn’t Cloud ☆ English Version by – Hemant Bawankar ??

(This poem has been cited from my book “Yield of the potentiality” an English Version of संभावना की फसल by Late Dr. Rajkumar Tiwari ‘Sumitra’.)

?

Faith is not a cloud

which gathers; thunders

and dissipates into water droplets

and loses its

very existence.

*

Faith is a sky

that can be seen

far away

from eyes

but, close to our heart

but, don’t surround

in the circle of

fraction of time.

But,

make it somewhat extraordinary,

So that

to whomsoever

you show it

He may exclaim

“Wow!

 What a wonderful offering”

*

Faith is nothing but sky

Which can be seen

From far away

but it is close to our heart.

But, don’t try to shackle it

By the moments of wheel of time.

Rather make it such a thing

That,

If shown to anyone

He is forced to say ‘Wow’

What a heavenly treat of celestial fragrances!

*

Then, keep the trust

Like your beloved

in your hearts

And keep sowing them

Without losing patience.

And

Nurture it with all your nutrients

of endearment

with water of your eyes.

So that it becomes a huge tree

Like that of a banyan tree.

Then enjoy its soothing shade

Sing a melodious song

Come one

Come all

And make this trust indomitable.

English Literature – Poetry ☆ – ‘Oncology Sanatorium’ ☆ Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi, NM ☆

(Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi —an ex Naval Officer, possesses a multifaceted personality. He served as a Senior Advisor in prestigious Supercomputer organisation C-DAC, Pune. He was involved in various Artificial Intelligence and High-Performance Computing projects of national and international repute. He has got a long experience in the field of ‘Natural Language Processing’, especially, in the domain of Machine Translation.

He has also undertaken translation work for Shri Narendra Modi, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, which was highly appreciated by him. He is also a member of ‘Bombay Film Writer Association’.

We present an English Version of Mrs. Latika Batra’s Hindi poetry “कैंसर हॉस्पिटल”.  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.)

(Famous book of Mrs Latika Batra “पुकारा है ज़िंदगी को कई बार… Dear Cancer)

? Oncology Sanatorium ? Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi, NM ??

(Here’s the saga of Mrs Latika Batra… A real-life story based on her personal life-experience… She defeated the Cancer in her resolute battle against it… faced countless challenges… some owing to dreaded disease while other ones due to the human negligence… Ultimately, she emerged victorious…! Salute to her fighting spirit…!)

?

On the farthest end of the road,

adorned with the Gulmohar and

bright ochre-coloured flowering

palash trees, stands  a  haughty  

gigantic  skyscraper,  on  a  lush

green sprawling landscaped  field,

known as the  “Cancer Hospital..!”

* 

An  abominable world is laid out there

Where death manifests its remorseless

face,  routinely putting a full  stop to

countless,  –otherwise  happy  lives…

 *

On the entrance, there’s no threshold

at its  huge  glass automatic doors

A sea of humanity, -traumatized with

agonisingly crestfallen countenance,

fill  up  the  vast  entrance  hall,

wherein countless animated bodies

are imprisoned  there like hordes of

battle  weary  prisoners  of  war…

 *

Laden with unbearable weights of

worries,  hopelessness;  as  if  they 

are carrying heavy sacks of loathful

abominable insects on their shoulders

 *

As if,  the outcome of all their tainted

deeds of past Karma are manifesting

in the excruciating pain and suffering

The shrouds of self-defeating faith,

an invisible placard of diffidence is

stuck around their necks, gnawing

away  the  last  ray  hope  of  life.

 *

All are ailing; yes, sick to their

inner core,  in  the  clutches  of

cancer, totally  indisposed  off,

in the realm of utter despair…

 *

Like a group of monks, wandering

around with their clean shaven heads

but  not  in  the  quest  of Nirvana,

Their  loathsum  state  defines the

precarious  condition  they  are  in…

Agony, despair, unbearable pain

Those who have experienced the

vastness of their sufferings are

accompanying  them,  with  the

hope against the hopes to return

to  some semblance  of  normalcy…

 *

But  some  defiant never-say-die

warriors, with their steely resolve

are also there, determined not to be

vanquished, till their last breath…

 *

Operating huge, strange and

monstrous machines, are those

operators, –the robotic humans,

wearing gleaming blue outfits,

Dispassionate, detached, but

hardworking  like  machines…

 *

Routinely engaged in their standard  

procedures of binding unclothed, barely

fleshy, sick bodies in those machines, as

they keep probing and diagnosing diseases

 *

Carnality, debauchery, amorousness and

every perverted emotion is forbidden here —

Every door here reflects a signage to be

followed  as  gospel: “Entry Prohibited”

 *

Donning a white coat wearing a stethoscope

around the neck with nonchalant look in eyes

are supremely experienced skilled doctors

who are bound by oath to serve the humanity

They are not moved, disturbed, or shaken

They have endowed special abilities on

deciphering the pain sensation & symptoms

In their kingdom every patient is an ‘object’

 *

People  here, are  packed  to  the  brim but

apparently  no  one  is  connected  through

pain  or  sympathy  with  each  other, as the

adage  goes: “Sympathy  does  not  grow

out  of fungus-infested seeds of feelings!”

 *

Confused life cycles are seen somewhere,

sometimes, with all their strangeness.

 *

When a dreaming, self-obsessed nurse

wearing a pink coat is seen, with golden

bangles  reaching  up  to  her  elbows…

The unfazed  ‘will to live’  sweeps  away

the  dark  shadow  of  this  ‘hamlet  of

death’  right  beneath  her  feet.

 *

The rest of the instincts are playing their

roles scrupulously as everyone is fighting

with his agony, melting in excruciating pain.

 *

Every  face  present is  an eyewitness to  the

impending death, awaiting for the eternal rest

But,  still  holding their faith is a  pinch  of  life  

in  the  providential hands of unending hope..!

 *

Yes,  this  is  the  cancer  hospital,  with  a  

conundrum,  is  it  sanatorium  or  hospice?

The answer remains: it depends on the will to

fight  to stay alive or just surrender meekly..!

? The Grey Lights# 58 ?

☆ – “Sacrifice”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

Is there anything,

more beautiful than the love itself?

Is there anything,

more powerful than the passion itself?

is there a horse,

who can serve his master

long after his legs are gone?

 *

Sacrifice is that beauty

much perfect in shape

than the love itself

It is that fire of soul

that burns more passionately

than the passion itself..

 *

and It is when you drop the bridle;

the horse of Desire is set free

and with the wings of freedom

he serves his master,

long after his legs are gone

 *

let the light of sacrifice

shine in your soulful eyes

and no flower would dare

look in the mirrors of your eyes

to see it’s own beauty..

* 

and Your face will glow

even behind the veil of peace

that no passion would dare to unveil..

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

? The Grey Lights# 57 ?

☆ – “Look Beyond”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

Look beyond..

beyond the names

look beyond

beyond the frames

 

what a pity..

when eyes see beauty

the heart becomes blind

and when the heart feels love

eyes are unable to find

 

choose to look beyond

beyond what daylight shows

for only in the night

the real moon glows

 

everything can be seen

look beyond the eyes

everyone’s naked

in naked one’s eyes

 

look beyond; beyond the relation

look beyond; beyond the calculation

 

look beyond; beyond the words

look beyond; beyond the herds

 

look beyond; beyond the skies

look beyond ; beyond the times

 

look beyond ; beyond the loops

 

look beyond

beyond the looks…
