खुला था प्रकृति-सृजन का द्वार। हो रही थी रचना रमणीय। बिरचती थी अति रुचिकर चित्र। तूलिका बिधि की बहु कमनीय।1।
रंग लाती थी हृदय-तरंग। बह रहा था चिन्ता का सोत। मंद गति से अवगति-निधि मधय। चल रहा था जग-रंजन पोत।2।
चित्र-पट पर भव के उस काल। खिंच गयी एक मूर्ति अभिराम। सरलता कोमलता अवलम्ब। सरसता मय मोहक रति काम।3।
उमा सी महिमा मयी महान। रमा सी रमणीयता निकेत। गिरासी गौरव गरिमावान। मानवी जीवन-ज्योति उपेत।4।
अलौकिक केलि-कला-कुल कान्त। हृदय-तल सुललित लीलाधाम। मधार माता-मानस-सर्वस्व नाम था ललना लोक-ललाम।5।

The Poet
अयोध्या सिंह उपाध्याय ‘हरिऔध’
Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay 'Hariaudh'
1865 · 1947
Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay, widely known by his pen name Hariaudh, fundamentally altered the course of modern Hindi poetry. Born in 1865 in Nizamabad, Uttar Pradesh, he initially wrote in Braj Bhasha before making a decisive shift to Khari Boli. This transition proved historic. In 1914, he published Priyapravas, universally recognized as the very first epic poem written in modern Hindi. Hariaudh did not just write a monumental text. He proved that the everyday language of the people possessed the aesthetic gravity necessary for grand mythological narratives. His poetry seamlessly blended profound devotion with contemporary social reform, reimagining the divine figures of Radha and Krishna as dedicated servants of humanity. He served for decades as a professor at Banaras Hindu University, mentoring an entire generation of modern writers. Passing away in 1947, Hariaudh left a legacy that permanently established the structural foundations of contemporary Hindi literature.
