पिता हमाए
मैं रोया तो मुझे चुपाया ‘बिल्ली आई’ कह बहलाया
मुश्किल में जीवन जीने की- कला सिखाए पिता हमाए
नदिया में मुझको नहलाया झूले में मुझको झुलवाया
मेरी जिद पर गोद उठाकर मुझे मनाए पिता हमाए
जब भी फसली चीजें लाते सबसे पहले मुझे खिलाते
कभी-कभी खुद भूखे रहकर मुझे खिलाए पिता हमाए
शब्द सुना पापा का जबसे मैं भी पिता बन गया तब से
मधुर-मधुर-सी संस्मृतियों में अब तक छाए पिता हमाए

The Poet
अवनीश सिंह चौहान
Avaneesh Singh Chauhan
1972 · 2010
Avaneesh Singh Chauhan represents a fresh and necessary voice in contemporary Hindi literature, particularly in his efforts to revitalize traditional lyrical forms for a modern audience. Born in 1979 in the Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh, he has dedicated his literary career to the Navgeet movement and the adaptation of Haiku into the Hindi language. He does not write from the isolation of an ivory tower. Instead, his poetry addresses the environmental decay, social fragmentation, and rural displacement that define twenty-first-century India. Chauhan serves as the executive editor of the literary journal Naye Purane, where he actively fosters dialogue between established literary figures and emerging writers. Through his poetry and critical essays, he proves that ancient poetic rhythms can perfectly articulate the anxieties of the modern world. He is a careful observer of everyday life, using short verse and melodic compositions to document the quiet realities that often escape mainstream attention.
