दिल मुसाफ़िर ही रहा सूये-सफ़र आज भी है हाँ! तसव्वुर में मगर पुख़्ता सा घर आज भी है

कितने ख्वाबों की बुनावट थी धनुक सी फैली कूये-माज़ी में धड़कता वो शहर आज भी है

बाद मुद्दत के मिले, फिर भी अदावत न गयी लफ़्जे-शीरीं में वो पोशीदा ज़हर आज भी है

नाम हमने जो अँगूठी से लिखे थे मिलकर ग़ुम गये हैं मगर ज़िन्दा वो शज़र आज भी है

अब मैं मासूम शिकायात पे हँसता तो नहीं पर वो गुस्से भरी नज़रों का कहर आज भी है

Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’

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.
