जिंदगी का जिंदगी से वास्ता जिंदा रहे हम रहें जब तक हमारा हौसला जिंदा रहे
वक्त ने माना हमारे बीच रख दीं दूरियां कोशिशें ये हों दिलों में रास्ता जिंदा रहे
ऐ मिरे दुश्मन तुझी ने दी मुझे जिंदादिली मैं अगर जिंदा रहूं, तू भी सदा जिंदा रहे
प्यार से सुलझाइये, हल गुत्थियां हो जाएंगी जब तलक संसार है ये फलसफा जिंदा रहे
मेरी कविता, मेरे दोहे, गीत मेरे और गजल मैं रहूं या न रहूं मेरा कहा जिंदा रहे

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.
Paired Painting
Woman Holding a Fan
Painted by the visionary master Raja Ravi Varma, this exquisite work captures a serene moment of quiet introspection. The artist bridges traditional Indian aesthetics with European academic realism, immortalizing the grace and dignity of Indian womanhood. Bathed in the soft, warm glow of a fading twilight, the subject embodies a tranquil elegance, holding a delicate fan while gazing outward with profound gentleness. Ravi Varma revolutionized Indian art by bringing mythological and everyday figures to vivid, breathing life, honoring the cultural soul of the subcontinent.
