बहुत गुमनामों में शामिल एक नाम अपना भी है इल्मे-नाकामी[1] में हासिल इक मक़ाम[2] अपना भी है

गौर करने के लिये भी कुछ न कुछ मिल जायेगा हाले-दिल पर हक़ के बातिल[3] इक कलाम[4] अपना भी है

मेहरबाँ[5] भी हैं बहुत और कद्रदाँ[6] भी हैं बहुत हो कभी ज़र्रानवाज़ी[7] इन्तेजाम अपना भी है

कब हुज़ूरे-वक़्त को फ़ुरसत मिलेगी देखिये मुश्त-ए-दरबान[8] तक पहुँचा सलाम अपना भी है

चलिये मैं भी साथ चलता हूँ सफ़र कट जायेगा आप की तक़रीर[9] के पहले पयाम[10] अपना भी है

इक परिन्दे की तरह बस आबो-दाने[11] की तलाश जिन्दगी का यह तरीका सुबहो-शाम अपना भी है

घर की चौखट तक मेरा ही हुक़्म चलता है ’अमित’ मिल्कीयत[12] छोटी सही लेकिन निज़ाम[13] अपना भी है

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 Village Entrance

This tranquil scene captures a moment of timeless stillness within a village landscape. Painted in 1889, the work reflects the quiet dignity of rural life, rendered with a soft, sun drenched palette that evokes the humid warmth of the tropics. The modest structure stands as a silent witness to the daily rhythms of the community, framed by lush foliage that suggests a harmonious coexistence between architecture and nature. There is a profound sense of humility in the composition, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the gentle beauty of an overlooked path.
