कोई काँटा चुभा नहीं होता दिल अगर फूल सा नहीं होता
कुछ तो मजबूरियाँ रही होंगी यूँ कोई बेवफ़ा नहीं होता
गुफ़्तगू उन से रोज़ होती है मुद्दतों सामना नहीं होता
जी बहुत चाहता सच बोलें क्या करें हौसला नहीं होता
रात का इंतज़ार कौन करे आज कल दिन में क्या नहीं होता

Paired Painting
Lady by the Lake with a Lotus
This captivating work embodies the poignant emotional depth and classical academic realism that came to define Indian fine art at the turn of the twentieth century. A solitary woman, draped in a deep indigo and gold bordered sari, sits in quiet contemplation beside a serene expanse of water. Her gentle posture and the soft melancholy in her expression invite the viewer into an intimate moment of introspection, perhaps evoking the classical literary tropes of the virahini, a heroine yearning for her beloved. The artist masterfully blends European academic techniques of light and shadow with deeply resonant Indian aesthetic sensibilities, creating a timeless atmosphere of grace and spiritual longing.
