Ye Ravayat Aam Hai Kyon Munh Chipaya Kijiye
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’7 verses · ~1 min
ये रवायत आम है क्यों मुँह छिपाया कीजिये। सीधे रस्ते बन्द हैं पीछे से आया कीजिये।
यूँ यकीं करता नहीं कोई उमूमन आपका फिर भी बहरेशौक़ कुछ वादे निभाया कीजिये।
इतने भोले भी न बनिये, कि लोग शक़ करने लगें, आदतन गाहेबगाहे ग़ुल खिलाया कीजिये।
हैं बहुत अल्फाज़ भारी आपकी तक़रीर के, वक़्त कम है मोहतरिम मतलब बताया कीजिये।
आपके अन्दाज़ की शोखी़ नजर का बाँकपन और भी बढ़ जायेगा गर मुस्कराया कीजिये।
रुठना अच्छा है जब तक लोग संजीदा न हों और मौका देखते ही मान जाया कीजिये।
हैं बहुत मजमून सुनने के सुनाने के ’अमित’ शर्त इतनी है कि बस तशरीफ लाया कीजिये।

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
Lovers on a Couch
This exquisite watercolor by M. V. Dhurandhar invites us into a quiet, deeply personal moment of courtship and intimate conversation. A young man, resplendent in a finely draped turban and traditional finery, leans forward on a cushioned Victorian couch, gazing intently into the eyes of his beloved. She rests gracefully in a rich, dark sari, her posture relaxed yet attentive, framed by the gentle clutter of domestic elegance: including musical instruments like the tanpura and tabla, a plate of fresh fruit, and traditional vessels. Dhurandhar bridges Western academic realism with Indian sensibilities, capturing not just a visual likeness, but the quiet poetry of shared glances, unspoken emotions, and the tender intimacy of human connection.
