तुम मुझको उद्दीपन दे दो गीतों का उपवन दे दूँगा थोड़ा सा अपनापन देदो मैं सारा जीवन दे दूँगा।

मेरा तुमको कुछ दे देना जगप्रचिलित व्यापार नहीं है और अपेक्षा रखना तुमसे बदले का व्यवहार नहीं है जैसे यदि आराधन देदो श्रद्धासिक्त सुमन दे दूँगा। तुम मुझको उद्दीपन दे दो ... ... ...

दुस्साहस भी कर सकता हूँ यदि तुम सम्बल देती जाओ श्रम-सीकर से भय ही कैसा बस तुम आँचल झलती जाओ सच कह दूँ संकेत मात्र पर तारों भरा गगन दे दूँगा। तुम मुझको उद्दीपन दे दो ... ... ...

कमल कपूर भाँति उर मेरा कोमल और अग्नि शंकित है जिस पर काला सा अतीत और धुंधला सा भविष्य अंकित है यदि इसका अभिसार कर सको युग प्रवाह नूतन दे दूँगा। तुम मुझको उद्दीपन दे दो ... ... ...

Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’

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.

Damayanti choosing her husband in her Svayamvara

This exquisite illustration captures a tender and momentous turning point from the ancient epic Mahabharata, where the virtuous princess Damayanti prepares to place the garland of choice around Nala, her beloved. Surrounded by celestial suitors who assumed human form to win her hand, Damayanti stands with poised grace, her heart unwavering in its devotion. Warwick Goble infuses the classic Indian narrative with the delicate lyricism of early twentieth century British book illustration, bridging cultural sensibilities with profound reverence for eternal love and divine destiny.
