मत मंसूबे बाँध बटोही, सफर बड़ा बेढंगा है
Mat Mansube Bandh Batohi, Safar Bada Bedhanga Hai
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’7 verses · ~1 min
मत मंसूबे बाँध बटोही, सफर बड़ा बेढंगा है। जिससे मदद मांगता है तू, वह ख़ुद ही भिखमंगा है।
ऊपर फर्राटा भरती हैं, मोटर कारें नई - नई, पुल के नीचे रहता, पूरा कुनबा भूखा नंगा है.
नुक्कड़ के जिस चबूतरे पर, भीख मांगती है चुनिया, राष्ट्र पर्व पर वहीं फहरता, विजई विश्व तिरंगा है.
कला और तहजीबों वाले, अफसानें, बेमानी हैं , शहरों की पहचान, वहां पर होनें वाला दंगा है।
मुजरिम भी सरकारी निकले, पुलिस खैर सरकारी थी, अन्धा तो फिर भी अच्छा था, अब कानून लफंगा है।
शहर समझता उसके सारे पाप, स्वयं धुल जायेंगे एक किनारे बहती जमुना, एक किनारे गंगा है.
’अमित’ यहाँ कुछ लोग चाहते, पैदा होना सौ-सौ बार जहाँ फरिस्ते भी डरते हों, मूर्ख वहां पर चंगा 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
Benaras at the Golden Gate
Eric Kipps captures the eternal vibrancy of the sacred city of Varanasi, known historically as Benaras, through the discerning eyes of a foreign visitor during the colonial era. The artwork pulsates with life as boats cluster densely along the holy waters of the Ganges, shaded by traditional umbrellas that create a mesmerizing mosaic of humanity and commerce. Towering stone ghats and ancient temple spires rise majestically in the background, standing as silent witnesses to centuries of devotion, ritual, and spiritual seeking. Kipps employs an impressionistic palette of rich earth tones and brilliant blues, rendering the shimmering light on the water with profound reverence for the timeless rhythms of this holy sanctuary.
