साफ इन्कार में ख़ातिर शिकनी होती है
Saaf Inkar Mein Khatir Shikani Hoti Hai
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’6 verses · ~1 min
इल्तिजा उसकी मुहब्बत में सनी होती है साफ इन्कार में ख़ातिर शिकनी होती है
यूँ कमानी की तरह भौंह तनी होती है नज़र पड़ते ही कहीं आगजनी होती है
अपना ही अक्स नज़र आती है अक्सर मुझको वो हर इक चीज जो मिट्टी की बनी होती है
सौदा-ए-इश्क़ का दस्तूर यही है शायद माल लुट जाये है तब आमदनी होती है
मैं पयाले को कई बार लबों तक लाया क्या करूँ जाम की क़िस्मत से ठनी होती है
इतने अरमानो की गठरी लिये फिरते हो ’अमित’ उम्र इंसान की आख़िर कितनी होती 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
Arjuna and Urvashi
This profound artistic rendering immortalizes a poignant encounter from the Mahabharata, where the celestial nymph Urvashi approaches the noble hero Arjuna in his heavenly abode. Captivated by his grace, the apsara confesses her deep affection, yet Arjuna responds with supreme moral fortitude, addressing her with the profound reverence of a son toward a mother. Raja Ravi Varma captures this delicate tension with exquisite dramatic flair, fusing European academic realism with deeply cherished Indian mythological traditions. Through the vibrant chromolithograph medium, the divine dignity of Arjuna and the mesmerized longing of Urvashi transcend canvas and print, inviting every viewer to witness a timeless testament to virtue, celestial beauty, and spiritual restraint.
