❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अब जुदाई के सफ़र को

मेरे आसान करो…

तुम मुझे ख़्वाब में आ कर

परेशान  ना  किया करो…

 

Now make my journey of

separation easy…

Do not disturb me by

coming in the dreams..

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अकेले हम ही शामिल

नहीं  है  इस  जुर्म  में,

नजरें जब भी मिलती थी

मुस्कुराये तो तुम भी थे…

 

I  alone  was  not

involved in this crime,

Whenever our eyes met,

you too equally smiled!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

खुदा के घर से चंद

फरिश्ते फरार हो गये,

कुछ  पकड़े  गये,

कुछ हमारे यार हो गये..

 

A  few  angels escaped

 from the God’s abode,

While some were caught,

Others became my friends

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

तुम मुझसे दोस्ती का

मोल ना पूछना कभी

तुम्हें किसने कहा कि

पेड़  छाँव  बेचते  हैं…

 

Never ask me about the

price of the friendship

Who has told you that

trees sell the shades..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सुई की फितरत तो बस

सिर्फ चुभने  की  ही  थी

क्या साथ मिला धागे का,

बस फितरत ही बदल गई!

 

The nature of needle

was  just  to  prick…

In the company of thread

Its attribute got changed!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

जैसा भी  हूँ  खुद  के

लिये  बेमिसाल  हूँ  मैं…

किसी को भी हक नहीं

दिया कि मेरी परख करे…!

 

Whatever I  am, I  am

unmatched for myself…

Haven’t  given  anyone

the right to judge me..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

इश्क़  करने  से  पहले

आ बैठ फैसला कर लें…

सुकूँ किसके हिस्से होगा,

बेक़रारी किसके हिस्से…!

 

Before  falling  in  the  love,

Let’s sit together and decide

Who’ll be entitled to solace

who’ll share restlessness!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

फिर  मुझे  कुछ  ऐसे

भी  आज़माया गया

पंख  काटे  गए  और

आसमाँ में उड़ाया गया…

 

Then I was also

tried  like  this…

With wings chopped,

made to fly in the sky

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सच को तमीज ही

नहीं बात करने की,

झूठ  को  तो  देखो

कितना मीठा बोलता है…

 

Truth  doesn’t  even

have the manner to talk

Just look at the  lie,

how sweetly it talks…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

हम तो फूलों की तरह,

अपनी आदत से बेबस हैं

तोड़ने वाले को भी,

खुशबू की सजा देते हैं…

 

Helpless with the habit,

Like the flowers, I even

penalise the pluckers

With the fragrance only…!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अगर दर्द ने मज़बूत, तो

डर ने बहादुर बना दिया

बार-बार  दिल  टूटने से

अड़चनें सारी जाती रहीं…

 

If the pains made me strong

Then  fear  turned me brave,

Repeated  heartbreaks  just

removed all the impediments

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

शुक्र कर ये दिल तेरे

लिए सिर्फ धड़कता है

गर बोलने लगता तो

क़यामत ही आ जाती…

 

Thankfully, this heart

Just only beats for you

If only it could speak,

Doomsday would come

मेरे होने में किसी तौर से

If you can’t become Messiah,

then try being an assassin!

And,  may  you  get

a lover like yourself…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

रिश्वत भी नहीं लेती

मुझे छोड़ने की…

कम्बख्त ये तेरी यादें

They don’t even take

Your wretched memories

also seem to be honest..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

was bang on the target

Each  time  it  pierced

through the heart only…

वजह तो थी तुम्हें

बदनाम करने की

कसम खाई  थी

मगर चुप रहने की…

ये इंतहा थी मेरी

ज़ुर्म  सहने  की..!.

to disrepute you

But, had vowed

to keep quiet…

 

Restrained all the

This was the limit of 

bearing the atrocities..!

The most challenging was to

Look happy while being sad

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

यूँ इंतज़ार करना

तो हमे आता नहीं,

पर  जब  बात  हो

किसी  अपने  की

तो इंतज़ार लफ्ज़ ही कुछ

मदहोश सा लगता है…

 

As such, I do not

know how to wait,

But when it comes

to  someone own,

The word waiting

appears  to  be  a

bit too inebriated…!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अपनी  पीठ  से  निकले…..

खंजरो को जब गिना मैंने

तो ठीक उतने ही निकले,

जितनों को गले लगाया था मैंने..!

 

When I counted the daggers

that came out of my back,

They  came  out  as many

people as I had embraced..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

हजार गम भी मेरी

फितरत नहीं बदल सकते

क्या करूँ मुझे…

आदत है मुस्कुराने की…

 

Even a thousand sorrows

cannot change my nature

What  to  do,  I  have

the  habit  of  smiling…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

कोशिश  तो  कर  तू

इन  आँखों को पढ़ने की

हर सवाल का जवाब मिलेगा

जो तूने मुझसे किये हैं…

 

Atleast, give it a try

To read these eyes, every

Question will be answered

That you’ve posed to me!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

इश्क था इसलिए

सिर्फ तुझसे किया,

फरेब  होता  तो

सबसे किया होता…

 

It  was  love, that’s why

Just  did  it  with  you  only ,

If it was a fraud, then would

have done it with everyone!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मेरे  दिल से निकलने का

रास्ता भी ना ढूंढ पाये वो…

और कहते थे कि तेरी

रग-रग से वाकिफ हैं हम…

 

Could not even find a way

To come out of my heart…

Who used to claim to be

Knowing me inside out…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

गिरते रहे सजदों में हम

अपनी ही हसरतों की ख़ातिर

इश्क़ ए ख़ुदा में गिरे होते तो

कोई हसरत ही बाक़ी ना रहती..

 

Kept on falling in  prostration

For the sake  of own  desires

Had only fallen in love of God

No desires would ever be left

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

पैर में कांटा क्या चुभा,

ये तस्सली सी बंध गई

कि इस अनजान गली में,

ज़रूर कोई  गुलाब  होगा…

 

With a prick of thorn in foot,

it was more of tranquil relief

That, of course, in this street,

There must be living a rose..!

English Literature – Weekly Column☆ Samudramanthanam – 26 – Amrit ☆ Mr. Ashish Kumar

Mr Ashish Kumar

(It is difficult to comment about young author Mr Ashish Kumar and his mythological/spiritual writing.  He has well researched Hindu Philosophy, Science and quest of success beyond the material realms. I am really mesmerized.  I am sure you will be also amazed.  We are pleased to begin a series on excerpts from his well acclaimed book  “Samudramanthanam” .  According to Mr Ashish  “Samudramanthanam is less explained and explored till date. I have tried to give broad way of this one of the most important chapter of Hindu mythology. I have read many scriptures and taken references from many temples and folk stories, to present the all possible aspects of portrait of Samudramanthanam.”  Now our distinguished readers will be able to read this series on every Saturday.)

☆ Weekly Column – Samudramanthanam – 26 – Amrita ☆ 

Finally, the day has come for which Sura and Asura join their hands, for which they were doing all efforts from ages.

Out of the ocean of milk ‘Kshirasāgara’ emerged a radiant golden pot. “I am the Lord of Good Health and Medicine,” he announced. “Here is the amrita that you seek. Those who drink it will gain strength and immortality.”

There was a great cheer as the devas and Asuras realized that their task was over. Both Lords Indra and Bali stepped forward to take the pot.

“As it was our idea, we will drink it first,” said Indra, tugging it to the right.

“Without us, you would not have had the strength to churn the ocean,” retorted Bali, tugging it to the left. “Give it to us first.”

And so on, it went, back and forth, right and left. Tempers flared and it almost came to blows, four drops split from the pot and fall over earth. Those four drops of amrita fall on ‘Haridwar’, ‘Paryagraj’, ‘Ujjan’ and ‘Nasik’ and these four are places where Kumbh melas are organised. Kumbh means a pot.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, appeared a beautiful maiden such as they had never seen! Her dark eyes were like blue lotuses and her air of mystery enchanted devas and Asuras alike. It was Lord Vishnu, who took the form of a lovely girl, to divert the attention of the Asuras.

Smiling sweetly and coyly, she took the pot from them. “Silly men, why quarrel over this?” she scolded playfully. “Sit down and I will serve it equally amongst you.”

Meekly they sat down, devas facing north and Asuras facing south, as the beautiful maiden danced between them. Flirting outrageously with the Asuras, she distracted them while she slyly served the amrita to the devas. Soon, all the devas had received the magic potion and there was not a drop left for the Asuras.

The beautiful maiden then threw down the pot and, laughing scornfully, vanished as suddenly as she had appeared.
