हम बंजारे मारे-मारे फिरते-रहते गली-गली
जलती भट्ठी तपता लोहा नए रंग ने है मन मोहा चाहें जैसा मोड़ें वैसा धरे निहाई अली-बली
नए-नए- औज़ार बनाएँ नाविक के पतवार बनाएँ रही कठौती अपनी फूटी खा भी लेते भुनी-जली
राहगीर मिल ताने कसते हम हैं फिर भी रहते हंसते अभी आपका समय सुनहरा जो सुन लेते बुरी-भली

Paired Painting
View of the Ghats at Benares
In this luminous capture of the holy city, Edwin Lord Weeks invites us to stand upon the sacred banks of the Ganges. The scene breathes with the timeless rhythm of Benares, where the stone architecture, warmed by the golden sun, meets the cool, flowing embrace of the river. We witness the quiet dignity of daily life: a woman gathers water, a sacred bull stands watch, and the boats drift lazily under the watchful eyes of the temple domes. It is a moment of profound serenity, painted with a reverence that transcends the mere observation of a foreign land, reflecting instead the spiritual pulse of a civilization that has stood for millennia.
