कहाँ कहाँ  से  तुझे  इकट्ठा  करता फिरूँ

ऐ जिंदगी जहाँ देखता हूँ

तू बिखरी नज़र आती है

☆☆

O’ life! Where all should

I gather you from,

Wherever I look, you    

seem scattered only

☆☆☆☆☆ 

तुम्हारा याद आना भी कमाल होता है,

कभी तो आ कर देखो ह

मारा क्या हाल होता है।

☆☆

It is so wonderful to remember you,

Do come sometime and see my state

☆☆☆☆☆

अच्छा लगता है हर रात तेरे ख्यालों में खो जाना

जैसे दूर होकर भी तेरी बाहों में सो जाना

☆☆

It feels good to get lost in

your thoughts every night,

like falling asleep in your arms

even when you are far away.

☆☆☆☆☆

इतना क्यों सिखाए जा रही है ज़िन्दगी हमें,

कौन सी सदियाँ गुज़ारनी है यहाँ।

☆☆

Why is this life keeps on

teaching us so much,

As if we have to spend

many  centuries  here…

☆ – “My Blood”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

My sons and daughters

don’t fail this blade

nor the sophistication of its hilt

for it’s born of tears and service

 *

be of a service to the species

do the ‘khidmat’ as they say

for it will only bring you contentment

not the gold or the blood or a wine

 *

oh you my firstborn

be the first in service

you are just the representative

of your equal siblings

 *

what great can we do

if not united as single heart

heart full of love and tears

heart full of greatness and values

 *

though the blood binds us

thought merges us

into a single blade of spear

which belongs to all humankind

रूह से जुड़े रिश्तों पर

फरिश्तों के पहरे होते हैं

कोशिशें कर लो तोड़ने की

ये और भी गहरा जाते हैं…

Soul-related relationships

are guarded by the angels

If you try breaking them

they consolidate further…

☆☆☆☆☆

नींद लेने का मुझे ऐसा

कोई शौक भी नहीं

मगर तेरे ख्वाब न देखूँ

तो गुजारा भी नहीं होता…

☆☆

Though not so very

fond of falling asleep…

But then can’t even live

without seeing your dreams

☆☆☆☆☆

छोटा सा लफ्ज है मुहब्बत

मगर तासीर है इसकी गहरी

गर दिल से करोगे इसे तुम

तो कदमों में होगी ये दुनिया सारी…

☆☆

Love is a little word, though

But its effect is so deep

If you do it with all your heart

Whole world lies at your steps

☆☆☆☆☆

लोग  तलाशते  हैं  कि

कोई  तो  फिकरमंद  हो,

वरना कौन ठीक होता है

यूँ ही सिर्फ हाल पूछने से…

☆☆

People  keep   searching  for    

someone who is worried, but then

How could  anyone ever get  fine

Just by inquiring his well-being!

☆

Bad, outrageous or impudent

call them anything you want

but do not call them ugly

For She is their mother

Though I am the father of my words

 *

like fire ignites the wick

and the lamp gives the light

though the shine is of lamp

but with different fire it is born

she is that fire

 *

like a fragrance is carried

by the might of wind

and wind becomes a fragrant breeze

by the power of tiny flower

she is that flower

* 

I am that passionate wind

that she makes to fragrant breeze

I am that wick soaked in agony

she lightens me to a lamp

I am just a man

she gives me meaning….

O’ Dear! Must you play the

sombre songs of the love now,

The pervading tonality of mood

isn’t in resonance with the life

*

I do agree that I couldn’t make

the land bloomingly prosper

Atleast I removed the thorns,

whichever way I passed by

*

I’ve no regrets for my total

devastation caused by you

I appreciate that atleast you

remained faithful to someone

*

Infact, you are the one who’s truly

responsible for my ruination,

But it’d be much better if someone

else gets blamed to save you

*

Actually, for no rhyme or reason

the heart kept crying desolately

But it made your memory to be the

scapegoat for its forlorn charade!

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – आवेग  

(लघु कविता संग्रह – चुप्पियाँ से)

‘चुप रहो’

क्रोध का पारावार

ज्यों-ज्यों बढ़ता है

अपने सिवा

हरेक से

चुप्पी की आशा करता है,

आवेग की

इकाई होती है चुप्पी!

गुफ़्तुगू करे हैं अक्सर

उंगलियां ही अब तो..

ज़बां तरसती है

कुछ कहने के लिए..

☆☆

Fingers only chat 

these days now ..

The tongue  longs

To say something…

☆☆☆☆☆

तेरी बात को यूँही…

खामोशी से मान लेना

ये भी एक अंदाज़ है,

मेरी  नाराज़गी  का…

☆☆

Just simply accepting

your  words  quietly…

Is  also  my  way  of

expressing resentment…

☆☆☆☆☆

रूबरू  होने   की  तो  छोड़िये,

गुफ़्तगू से  भी  क़तराने  लगे हैं,

ग़ुरूर ओढ़ते  हैं  रिश्ते  अब तो,

हैसियत पर अपनी इतराने लगे हैं…

☆☆

Leave apart being face to face,

They’ve begun  to avoid talking,

Relations are so conceited now,

Proudly unmask their haughtiness

☆☆☆☆☆

बहुत ही नादान है वो,

ज़रा समझाइए ना उसे,

बात न करने से कभी,

मोहब्बत कम नहीं होती…

☆☆

She is too innocent,

Please explain to her that

Not talking to someone

Doesn’t reduce love for him!

☆ – “Wealthy”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

many claim to claim her

very few have understood her

some count her as money

fenced land is someone’s fancy

* 

one moment she is there

in the next she’s gone

in the heads of doers

she rings like a song

 *

but having her

is being wealthy

a bold statement

made to the society

 *

bolder than being beggar

for beggar says of having nothing

and asks to give him

but the wealthy says of having everything

and tells to take all from him

* 

It is not easy to leave shame

to be a beggar on roadside

but It is even harder to leave fear

and have ‘Her’ by your side
