वो मेरे हक़ के लिये मेरा बुरा करते हैं
Vo Mere Haq Ke Liye Mera Bura Karte Hain
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’5 verses · ~1 min
अब अंधेरों में उजालों से डरा करते हैं ख़ौफ़, जुगनूँ से भी खा करके मरा करते हैं
दिल के दरवाजे पे दस्तक न किसी की सुनिये बदल के भेष लुटेरे भी फिरा करते हैं
उनका अन्दाज़े-करम उनकी इनायत है यही वो मेरे हक़ के लिये मेरा बुरा करते हैं
गुनाह वो भी किये जो न किये थे मैंने यूँ कमज़र्फ़ों के किरदार गिरा करते हैं
तंज़ करके गयी बहार भी मुझपे ही 'अमित' कभी सराब भी बागों को हरा करते हैं

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
Simhika and Sairandhri
This masterwork captures a deeply tense and emotionally charged episode from the Mahabharata, unfolding during the final year of the Pandavas exile in disguise. Draupadi, living under the assumed identity of the maidservant Sairandhri in the court of Virata, finds herself trapped in a terrifying encounter with the evil commander Kichaka, whose advances she repeatedly spurns. Here, the scheming Simhika, sister to Kichaka, approaches Sairandhri with cunning persuasion, coaxing her to meet the infatuated general. Raja Ravi Varma masterfully contrasts the two figures, portraying Simhika with a deceptive, calculating allure, her arm outstretched in direction, while Sairandhri clings to herself in profound distress, her eyes filled with sorrow and foreboding. Through his exquisite command of European academic realism infused with Indian theatrical sensibilities, Varma immortalizes not just a mythological encounter, but the universal vulnerability and quiet resilience of a woman standing alone in peril.
