Kuch To Kahin Hua Hai
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’4 verses · ~1 min
कुछ तो कहीं हुआ है, भाई कुछ तो कहीं हुआ है झमझम बारिश है बसंत में सावन में पछुआ है कुछ तो कहीं हुआ है
हुई कूक कोयल की गायब बौर लदी अमराई गायब सरसों फूली सहमी-सहमी फागुन से अँगड़ाई गायब मौसम-चक्र पहेली जैसा मानव ज्यों भकुआ है कुछ तो कहीं हुआ है
जीवन से जीविका बड़ी है मन, मौसम में जंग छिड़ी है मानव का अस्तित्त्व गौण है नास्डॉक पर नज़र गड़ी है पीछे गहरी खाँई उसके आगे पड़ा कुआँ है कुछ तो कहीं हुआ है
तुलसी-सूर-कबीर कहाँ तक देगें साथ फ़कीर कहाँ तक घोर कामना के जंगल में राह दिखायें पीर कहाँ तक राम नाम जिह्वा पर लेकिन चिन्तन में बटुआ है कुछ तो कहीं हुआ है

The Poet
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.
