सुख-दुख आना-जाना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।
सुख की है कल्पना पुरानी स्वर्गलोक की कथा कहानी सत्य-झूठ कुछ भी हो लेकिन है मन को भरमाना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।
सुख के साधन बहुत जुटाये सुख को किन्तु खरीद न पाये थैली लेकर फिरे ढूँढते सुख किस हाट बिकाना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।
आस-डोर से बँधी सवारी सुख-दुख खीचें बारी-बारी कहे कबीरा दो पाटन में सारा जगत पिसाना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।
वनवासी जीवन में सुख था शशिमुख के आगे रवि मुख था किन्तु स्वर्ण-मृग की इच्छा में लंका हुआ ठिकाना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।
दुखमय जगत काल की फाँसी देख कुमार हुआ सन्यासी शोध किया तो पाया तृष्णा- पीछे जग बौराना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।
जब-जब किया सुखों का लेखा सुख को पता बदलते देखा किन्तु सदा ही इसके पीछे दुख पाया लिपटाना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।
जीवन की अनुभूति इसी में द्वेष इसी में प्रीति इसी में इसी खाद-पानी पर पलकर जीवन कुसुम फुलाना साथी सुख-दुख आना-जाना।

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.

Folio from an Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita Manuscript Depicting Maitreya
This sacred palm leaf folio serves as a profound window into the esoteric visual and spiritual world of late Buddhist art in eastern India. Created during the height of the Pala Empire, such manuscripts of the Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita, or Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines, were revered as living embodiments of divine wisdom. Monks and master artisans labored with immense devotion, illuminating fragile palm leaves with intricate iconographies of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Flanked by elegant columns, the central panel radiates a quiet, sublime grace, inviting the viewer to contemplate the boundless compassion of the enlightened beings who guide humanity across the ocean of suffering.
