श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

? संजय दृष्टि –  लघुकथा – विदेह ? ?

बूझता हूँ पहेली-

कटोरे में कटोरा

पुत्र, पिता से गोरा,

भीतर झाँकता हूँ, 

अपनी देह के भीतर

एक और देह पाता हूँ,

इस देह का भान

सांसारिक प्रश्नों को

कर देता है बौना,

अपनी आँख से

अपनी आँख में देखो,

देह से विदेह कर देता है

इस देह का होना…!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

?~ Bodiless ~??

Faced a riddle

as he asks:

‘Bowl in a bowl

Son, fairer than father’,

I look inside,

find another body

inside my body,

Consciousness of which

dwarfs worldly conundrums,

Look into your eyes

with your own eyes,

Existence of this body

makes one go bodiless

from this body,

turning it incorporeal…!

अधूरी कहानी पर ख़ामोश

लबों का पहरा है

दर्द ज़रा गहरा है….

Silent lips are the sentinels

Of  the  unfulfilled fairytale…

Wound is of the spirited soul

So the pain is rather intense….

हंसते हुए चेहरों को गमों से

आजाद ना समझो साहिब

मुस्कुराहट की पनाहों में भी

हजारों  दर्द  छुपे होते  हैं…

O’ Dear, Don’t even consider that

Laughing faces are free of sorrow

Innumerable  pains are  hidden

Even behind the walls of a smile…

☆☆☆☆☆

चुपचाप चल रहे थे

ज़िन्दगी के सफर में

तुम पर नज़र क्या पड़ी

बस  गुमराह  हो  गए…

☆☆

Was walking peacefully

In  the  journey of the life

Just casting a glance on you

Made my journey go astray…

ज़रा सी कैद से ही

घुटन होने  लगी…

तुम तो पंछी पालने

के  बड़े  शौक़ीन थे…

Just a little bit of confinement

Made you feel so suffocated

But keeping the birds caged

You were so very fond of…!

When you left my body

My soul found me

and the day you left

had a night brighter

than a thousand suns see

 *

With the pain so pointed

it drew the crisp lines

on my blank heart

and it painted like a picture

with absolute no lines

 *

I understood the kiss

for the first time

when you stopped kissing me

and I understood the touch; the day

when the night touched me

But I am grateful to you

grateful for making things clearer

not only between us

but for making it clear

between me and every other girl

? विविधा ?

☆ प्रतिमा-भंजन ::: एक छंद – लेखक : श्री विश्वंभर चौधरी ☆ प्रस्तुती – श्री सुनील देशपांडे 

नेमका बाबासाहेबांच्या जयंतीच्या आदल्या दिवशी 13 एप्रिलला व्हाट्सअप युनिवर्सिटी आणि फेसबुकवर मेसेज येतो की घटनासमितीत शेकडो लोक होते मग घटनेचे शिल्पकार फक्त बाबासाहेब कसे? 

2 ऑक्टोबर तर सगळ्यांनी मुक्तपणे गांधीजींना शिव्या देण्याचा दिवस, गांधी कसे आणि कुठे चुकले यावर भरभरून लेख येतात.

14 नोव्हेंबर म्हणजे तर सगळ्यात मोठा शिमगा! नेहरूंवर खोटेनाटे आरोप लावण्याचा हक्काचा दिवस! नेहरू हे यात सगळ्यात दुर्दैवी. 

1 ऑगस्ट आला की ‘भटमान्य’ टिळक कसे सनातनी होते, फक्त ब्राह्मणांचे नेते होते… 

आता पहिल्या पिढीचा उद्धार करून संपल्यावर आपली तरुणाई दुसर्या पिढीला सुरूवात करत आहे. साने गुरुजींना काल फटका बसलाच.  पुन्हा, मी मीमवर बोलत नाही, प्रतिक्रियांवर बोलतोय. 

आणि मी सराईत ट्रोलाबद्दल म्हणजे अजेंडे घेऊन आणि त्या अजेंड्यासाठीचा पगार घेऊन लिहीणारांबद्दल बोलत नसून कोरी पाटी घेऊन सोशल मिडीयात आलेल्या आजच्या सर्वसामान्य तरुण पिढीबद्दल बोलत आहे. 

सगळेच तसे नाहीत पण बहुतांश तरूण हे फशी पडत आहेत. राष्ट्रीय नेत्यांबद्दल फेसबुकवरून मत बनवत आहेत. आणि तशा काॅमेंट धडाधड टाकत आहेत जे योग्य नाही.

माझ्या वाॅलवर सेक्युलॅरिझमला पाठिंबा देणारा एखादा तरूण दुसर्या कुठल्यातरी वाॅलवर कट्टर जातीयवादी प्रतिक्रिया लिहितांना मला आढळतो तेव्हा खरंच विश्वास बसत नाही की हा खरा की तो खरा? 

फेसबुकचा सगळ्यात वाईट भाग असा आहे की इथं प्रत्येक राष्ट्रीय नेत्याचं फक्त वैगुण्य शोधलं जातं आणि ते तिखट मीठ लावून सांगितलं जातं. 

रात्रीच्या अंधारात एखाद्या राष्ट्रपुरूषाच्या पुतळ्याची विटंबना करणारा आणि दिवसाच्या उजेडात फेसबुकवर राष्ट्रीय नेत्याचं प्रतिमाभंजन करणारा- कसा फरक करायचा दोघात? 

फक्त प्रतिमाभंजन. विधायक काहीच नाही. जणू काही या माणसांना देशानं आत्तापर्यंत डोक्यावर घेतलं ते केवळ  अज्ञानापोटी आणि या नव्या संशोधकांनी फेसबुकवर संशोधन केल्यामुळेच जगाला सत्यस्वरूप कळलं अन्यथा सगळं जग अंधारात होतं.

राष्ट्रीय नेत्यांची चिकित्सा व्हावीच. चिकित्सेला विरोध नाही. 

उद्या बाबासाहेबांच्या ‘प्राॅब्लेम ऑफ रूपी’ या प्रबंधात एखादं गृहीतक कसं चुकलं हे कोणी सप्रमाण मांडलं किंवा महात्मा फुलेंचा शेतीविषयक आर्थिक विचार कोणी खोडून दाखवला किंवा गांधीजींच्या सत्याग्रहातल्या उणीवा दाखवल्या किंवा नेहरूंच्या परराष्ट्र नीतीत चुका काढल्या किंवा टिळकांच्या गीतारहस्यामध्ये त्यांचं गीतेचं आकलनच मुळात कसं चुकलं हे मांडलत तर स्वागत आहे! मराठी समाज बौद्धिकदृष्ट्या जिवंत असल्याचं ते लक्षण असेल. पण भलतीच समीक्षा होतांना दिसतेय.    

काळाच्या मर्यादेत  त्यांनी शक्य तितके बदल घडवण्याचा प्रयत्न केला. त्यांच्या कामाची चर्चा करा. त्यांच्या योगदानाची चर्चा केली तर आपणही काही करावं असं वाटेल. त्यांचे फक्त तथाकथित दोष चघळत बसलो तर गावच्या पारावर वर्षानुवर्ष त्याच गप्पा मारत बसलेल्यांसारखी तुमची अवस्था होईल. ज्यांच्यावर तुम्ही टीका करता ते कधीच वर गेले. तुमच्या भविष्यात जर कशाचा उपयोग करता येईल तर तो त्यांच्या कामाचा. त्यांच्या चुकांचा काय उपयोग? 

प्रतिमाभंजनाच्या खेळातून बाहेर या, विधायक काम बघा. शक्य झालं तर ते पुढे न्या.   

मी सरसकटीकरण करत नाही. विधायक विचार करणारे पण आहेत पण संख्या अगदी नगण्य. आणि तरूण म्हणून तुमची प्रत्येक अभिव्यक्ती मला मान्य आहे, अभिव्यक्तीच पिढीगणिक बदललेलं वेगळेपणही मान्य आहे. फक्त अभिव्यक्ती हे साध्य नसून साधन आहे एवढंच सांगायचंय.

माझा कदाचित राग येईल तुम्हाला. येऊ द्या. मी कधीच गोड गोड उपदेशासाठी प्रसिद्ध नव्हतो. तुमची उमेदीची वर्ष, अभ्यासाची वर्ष या टिंगलटवाळीत वाया जाऊ नयेत. 

गांधी सनातनी होते, बाबासाहेब अहंकारी होते, नेहरू चारित्र्यहीन होते, टिळक फक्त भटमान्य होते या सगळ्या अफवा आहेत. अभ्यास वाढवला की डोक्यात प्रकाश पडेल.

या सगळ्यांच्या कामाचा अभ्यास करा, सोशल मिडीयानं आकसानं त्यांच्यावर लादलेल्या कथित दुर्गुणांचा अभ्यास करून काय होणार?

स्वातंत्र्यानंतरच्या दोन-तीन पिढ्यांनी चांगलं ते समोर ठेवलं. नव्या पिढीनं फक्त वाईटाचा शोध लावून ते झाकाळून टाकू नये.  ज्ञानात भर पडावी, अज्ञानापुढे ज्ञान संपून जाऊ नये. 

द्वेष हा फक्त राजकीय अजेंडा असतो, अभ्यासात द्वेषाला जागा नाही. द्वेष की अभ्यास यावर एकदा व्यक्तिगत निर्णय करायचा आहे.

☆ ~ Let’s walk together… ~? ☆

The road is harsh and unforgiving,

if possible, come along for guidance

Journey too is arduous, atleast walk

along for some more distance…

*

With your blissful company there’ll

always be an idyllic fragrance,

I know it’s too demanding, still walk

with me for some more distance…

*

Yes, I’m drunk but then you too are

not in your senses and substance,

It’ll be a great merriment if we walk

together for some more distance…

*

Even if, meeting of one night evantuates,

it will be a blessing in abundance

Who knows about tomorrow, so let’s

walk together for some more distance

*

It’s too late at night, but the awake

lamps still have their dominance,

Dawn is yet far away, so let’s walk

together for some more distance…

*

Somehow I’ve to reach the destination

joy will multiply with your acceptance

So won’t it be better if together, we continue

walking for some more distance…

Countless have perished

in search of a paradise

be not wasted

oh my dear wise!

 

There is no paradise

in deep so skies

it dwells not in space

but hides in the time

 

Child sees his mother

and mother her child

in their eyes

rainbows of heaven shine

 

Grown ups inhale

the exhale of father

blows in that moment

heavenly breeze of time

 

Only in his eyes,

ordinary girl is a nymph

what is it in that moment

if nothing but a paradise

 

Held by the moment

Doors of the Paradise

Time is tamed by Love

💐 Poem of Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi is to be recited in the BYRON 200 Poetry event at Nottingham, U K 💐

☆ Bicentennary Celebration of Lord Byron – BYRON 200 Poetry Event by Kavyrang ☆ 

It is with great pride and pleasure, We would like to inform that poem लावण्यपूर्ण रात्रि अभिसारिका (Lavanya poorn Ratri Abhisarika) of Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi has been chosen to be recited in the BYRON 200 Poetry Event, which is being organised by Kavya Rang with NAAC as a part of Multilingual Poetry Event to commemorate the Bicentennary Celebrations of Lord Byron in Nottingham, England. This poem is based on Lord Byron’s legendary poem She Walks in Beauty.

Byron 200 is a varied programme of exhibitions, events and activities that celebrate the sensational life and legacy of Lord Byron through the year, focussed at Newstead Abbey, his inspirational home.

Date: Saturday 27th July 2024, 1pm-4pm

Venue: Newstead Abbey, Nottingham, U K

इस सन्दर्भ में हम आपसे एक महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी साझा करना चाहेंगे। डॉ विजय कुमार मल्होत्रा जी (पूर्व निदेशक (राजभाषा), रेल मंत्रालय,भारत सरकार) को इसी जून  2023 में  यूनाइटेड किंगडम  के प्रसिद्ध शहर  नॉटिंघम  जाने का अवसर मिला। प्रवास के दौरान उन्हें हिन्दी कवयित्री और काव्यरंग की अध्यक्षा श्रीमति जय वर्मा जी ने अंग्रेज़ी के प्रसिद्ध कवि लॉर्ड बायरन की विरासत से भी परिचित कराया. रॉबिनहुड और लॉर्ड बायरन के नाम से प्रसिद्ध इस शहर में महात्मा गाँधी भी कुछ समय तक रुके थे. जहाँ बायरन ने  Don Juan जैसी कविताएँ लिखीं, वहीं  She Walks in Beauty जैसी प्रेम और प्रकृति की मिली-जुली कल्पनाओं पर आधारित कविताएँ भी लिखीं.

डॉ विजय कुमार मल्होत्रा जी के ही शब्दों में “कालजयी रचनाओँ को हिंदी-अंग्रेज़ी में अनूदित करने का बीड़ा उठाने वाले मेरे मित्र कैप्टन प्रवीण रघुवंशी ने “चलती-फिरती सौंदर्य प्रतिमा” शीर्षक से इसका हिंदी में अनुवाद भी कर दिया. मैंने पावर-पॉइंट (PPT) के माध्यम से दी गई अपनी प्रस्तुति में इस कविता को मूल अंग्रेज़ी के साथ-साथ हिंदी में भी प्रतिभागियों को सुनाया. सभी ने इसके हिंदी अनुवाद की भूरि-भूरि प्रशंसा की.”

 

यह अनुवाद इंग्लैंड में हिन्दी प्रोफेसरों को बहुत पसंद आया था। उन्होने कई देशों में इसका अपने भाषणों में उपयोग भी किया है जिसका सबसे सहृदय प्रतिसाद प्राप्त हुआ।

 

आइए…हम लोग भी इस कविता का मूल अंग्रेज़ी के साथ-साथ हिंदी में भी रसास्वादन करें और अपनी प्रतिक्रियाओं से इसके हिंदी अनुवादक कैप्टन प्रवीण रघुवंशी  को परिचित कराएँ.   

Original English Poem By Lord Byron

☆ She Walks in Beauty 

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes;

Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

 

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o’er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

 

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

 – Lord Byron

 

लार्ड बायरन की मूल कविता का कैप्टन प्रवीण रघुवंशी जी द्वारा हिंदी अनुवाद  

☆ लावण्यपूर्ण रात्रि-अभिसारिका ☆

अप्सरा की भाँति, वो  सौन्दर्य-प्रतिमा,

बादलों से विहीन, तारों भरी रात्रि में

अतिशय प्रकाश की अप्रतिम छटा लिये

वो निरंतर चहलकदमी करती रही…

 

आकर्षक डील-डौल, मृगनयनी चक्षु

भीनी-भीनी चाँदनी में पिघलता यौवन

ऐसी लावण्यपूर्ण वो दिव्य अनामिका

वो रमनीय सौन्दर्य जो कदापि 

ईश्वर प्रदत्त भी संभव नहीं,

 

एक स्वर्गिक रंगीन छटा लिए,

लहराती स्याह वेणियां से युक्त

अर्ध-प्रच्छादित मुखाकृति को

और भी निखारती हुई…

अभिलाषा की वो परम उत्कटेच्छा…

 

जहाँ विचार मात्र ही मधु-सुधा टपकाते…

कितना पवित्र, कितना प्यारा उसका संश्रय…!

दैवीय कपोलों, के मध्यास्थित,

उन वक्र भृकुटियों  में वो इतनी निर्मल, शांत,

फिर भी नितांत चंचल एक विजयी मुस्कान लिए!

 

वो दैदीप्यमान आभा,

सौम्यता में व्यतीत क्षणों को

अभिव्यक्त करते हुए

एक शांतचित्त मन

एक निष्कपट प्रेम परितृप्त

वो कोमल हृदय धारिणी नवयौवना…!
