लिहाफ़ों की सिलाई खोलता है कोई दीवाना है सच बोलता है।
बेचता है सड़क पर बाँसुरी जो हवा में कुछ तराने घोलता है।
वो ख़ुद निकला नहीं तपती सड़क पर पेट पाँवों पे चढ़ कर डोलता है।
पेश आना अदब से पास उसके वो बन्दों को नज़र से तोलता है।
याद रह जाय गर कोई सुखन तो उसमे सचमुच कोई अनमोलता 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.

Saint Kabir Weaving at His Hut
This breathtaking composition invites us into the quiet, sacred world of Kabir, the legendary fifteenth century mystic poet and weaver whose verses continue to pierce the illusions of the material world. Seated beneath the sheltering branches of a leafy tree, the venerable saint calmly plies his loom, transforming simple threads into fabric with meditative grace. Around him, devoted disciples gather, one gently strumming a stringed instrument that seems to fill the cool, overcast air with silent devotion. The humble thatched hut and the soft, verdant landscape reflect a life lived in profound harmony with the divine, reminding every viewer that spiritual truth is found not in grand palaces, but in the honest labor of daily existence.
