किसी को महल देता है किसी को घर नहीं देता
Kisi Ko Mahal Deta Hai Kisi Ko Ghar Nahi Deta
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’5 verses · ~1 min
किसी को महल देता है किसी को घर नहीं देता ये क्या इंसाफ है मालिक? कोई उत्तर नहीं देता
जिन्हे निद्रा नहीं आती पडे़ हैं नर्म गद्दों पर जो थक चूर हैं श्रम से उन्हे बिस्तर नहीं देता
ये कैसा कर्म जिसका पीढ़ियाँ भुगतान करती हैं ये क्या मज़हब है जो सबको सही अवसर नहीं देता
तुम्हारी सृष्टि के कितने सुमन भूखे औऽ प्यासे हैं दयानिधि! इनके प्यालों को कभी क्यों भर नहीं देता
मुझे विश्वास पूरा है, तेरी ताकत औऽ हस्ती पर तू क्यों इक बार सबको इक बराबर कर नहीं देता

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
Draupadi Humiliated
This profound and emotionally charged canvas captures a devastating moment from the Virata Parva of the Mahabharata. Disguised as Sairandhri, the queen Draupadi lies fallen and weeping on the opulent palace floor, having been brutally assaulted by the commander Kichaka for refusing his advances. Raja Ravi Varma masterfully orchestrates the tension in the royal court, contrasting the utter vulnerability and grief of Draupadi with the arrogant stance of Kichaka and the helpless dismay of King Virata seated upon his throne. Through rich theatrical lighting and profound psychological realism, Varma honors the eternal dignity of Draupadi while exposing the profound moral failing of the court around her, inviting the viewer into a timeless meditation on honor, suffering, and divine justice.
