Badi Masoomiyat Se Sadgi Se Baat Karta Hai
Ashok Anjum6 verses · ~1 min
बड़ी मासूमियत से सादगी से बात करता है मेरा किरदार जब भी जिंदगी से बात करता है
बताया है किसी ने जल्द ही ये सूख जाएगी तभी से मन मेरा घंटों नदी से बात करता है
कभी जो तीरगी मन को हमारे घेर लेती है तो उठ के हौसला तब रोशनी से बात करता है
नसीहत देर तक देती है माँ उसको जमाने की कोई बच्चा कभी जो अजनबी से बात करता है
मैं कोशिश तो बहुत करता हूँ उसको जान लूँ लेकिन वो मिलने पर बड़ी कारीगरी से बात करता है
शरारत देखती है शक्ल बचपन की उदासी से ये बचपन जब कभी संजीदगी से बात करता है

The Poet
अशोक अंजुम
Ashok Anjum
1961 · 2000s
Ashok Anjum holds a highly respected place in modern Hindi literature as a devoted guardian of lyrical traditions. Born in 1958 in Aligarh, he dedicated his creative life to enriching the Navgeet, Doha, and Ghazal forms. At a time when contemporary poetry heavily favored free verse, Anjum insisted on the necessity of rhythm and classical structure. He writes with profound sensitivity about changing human values, rural displacement, and the moral decay of modern society. Beyond his own poetic output, he has been a prominent editor and a guiding force in reviving the literary prestige of the Aligarh region. His verses carry the quiet dignity of a man who observes the world deeply, using gentle melodies to deliver razor sharp social critique.

King Shantanu Meets Ganga and Young Devavrata
This poignant visual masterpiece captures a profound moment from the Mahabharata, where mortal longing meets divine grace on the sacred banks of the Ganges. King Shantanu stands captivated by the ethereal river goddess Ganga, who presents to him their miraculous eighth son, Devavrata, destined to become the legendary Bhishma. The scene is imbued with an exquisite theatricality, balancing the regal dignity of the monarch with the sublime, otherworldly presence of the mother and child. Every fold of silk and gleam of golden armor speaks to a reverence for epic heritage, translating timeless devotion and sacrifice into vibrant hues that continue to stir the soul.
