गर चंद तवारीखी तहरीर बदल दोगे क्या इनसे किसी कौम की तक़दीर बदल दोगे

जायस से वो हिन्दी की दरिया जो बह के आई मोड़ोगे उसकी धारा या नीर बदल दोगे ?

जो अक्स उभरता है रसख़ान की नज्मों में क्या कृष्ण की वो मोहक तस्वीर बदल दोगे ?

तारीख़ बताती है तुम भी तो लुटेरे हो क्या द्रविड़ों से छीनी जागीर बदल दोगे ?

Krishna Battling Banasura

This exquisite folio captures a momentous chapter from Hindu mythology, where the divine Lord Krishna confronts the mighty thousand armed demon king Banasura. Banasura stands fiercely upon his crimson chariot, wielding a multitude of weapons in his numerous hands, embodying raw cosmic defiance. Opposite him, the dark skinned deity Krishna stands resolute, holding his sacred shield and weapons, fearlessly challenging the tyrant to protect righteousness. The serene landscape background, featuring gentle grazing cows and tranquil waters, creates a poignant contrast against the impending divine battle, reminding the viewer of the eternal balance between chaos and cosmic order.
