Ashik Yahan Zulf-O-Lab-O-Rukhsar Bahut Hain
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’9 verses · ~1 min
आशिक यहाँ जुल्फ-ओ-लब-ओ-रुख़्सार[1] बहुत हैं। पाने को इक झलक ही तलबगार बहुत हैं।
रेशम से भी नाजुक हैं तेरी जुल्फ के रेशे, कहते हैं मगर इनमें गिरिफ़्तार बहुत हैं।
इतने फ़राख़-दिल[2] तो नहीं लोग यहाँ के, क्या बात है के उसके मददगार बहुत हैं।
अब दिल में बस गये हो सितम चाहे जो करो, वरना तो परी-रुख़ सरे संसार बहुत हैं।
किस - किस का भरे जाम कि जब एक है साक़ी, प्यासे लब-ओ-सागर[3] लिये मैख़्वार बहुत हैं।
पतझड़ था और धूप थी, माली था अकेला, अब खु़शबू-ए-चमन है तो हक़दार बहुत हैं।
चुपके से देखते हैं दिखावा नहीं करते, मासूम न कह देना वो हुशियार बहुत हैं।
अब रुक गई है आ के कहानी तेरी हाँ पर, अर्मान मेरे दिल में मेरे यार बहुत हैं।
जलवानुमा है हुस्न जो पाकीज़: करदे दिल, यूँ तो गुदाज़ हुस्न के बाजार बहुत हैं।

The Poet
अमिताभ त्रिपाठी 'अमित'
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’
Amitabh Tripathi 'Amit' belongs to a rare class of contemporary Hindi poets who write to hold up an unflinching mirror to society. His verse is stripped of complex academic jargon and strikes directly at the center of modern Indian realities. In works like his celebrated poem "Bas Itna Sa Samachar Hai" (This is All the News There Is), Tripathi captures the everyday ironies, widespread corruption, and moral compromises of the present age with devastating precision. He dismantles hollow idealism and gives a powerful voice to the common man navigating a broken system. To read Amitabh Tripathi is to be awakened from civic slumber. His poems are not merely complaints; they are urgent pleas for a return to collective conscience and integrity.
Paired Painting
The Saki
This exquisite oil painting is the work of Mahadev Vishwanath Dhurandhar, a legendary figure of the Bombay School who served as the first Indian director of the Sir J.J. School of Art. While some automated search results mistakenly identify this subject as Turkish, the artist's unmistakable signature and the specific cultural markers, such as the bindi and the style of the jewelry, confirm its Indian origin. The subject is the Saki, the wine bearer, a figure of great romantic and spiritual significance in Indian and Persian literature. Dhurandhar captures her in a moment of absolute stillness: the world seems to quieten as the liquid flows from the dark earthen vessel into the glass. The artist uses a palette of warm, grounded tones to highlight the luminosity of her garment, creating a contrast that feels both earthy and ethereal. It is a tribute to the dignity of the female form and the poetic beauty found in simple, everyday gestures.
