मिल भी जाते हैं तो कतरा के निकल जाते हैं हाये मौसम की तरह दोस्त बदल जाते हैं

हम अभी तक हैं गिरफ़्तार-ए-मुहब्बत यारो ठोकरें खा के सुना था कि सम्भल जाते हैं

ये कभी अपनी जफ़ा पर न हुआ शर्मिन्दा हम समझते रहे पत्थर भी पिघल जाते हैं

उम्र भर जिनकी वफ़ाओं पे भरोसा कीजे वक़्त पड़ने पे वही लोग बदल जाते हैं

Paired Painting

Shivaji Maharaj and Baji Prabhu at Pawan Khind

This evocative masterpiece captures a poignant moment of loyalty and sacrifice in Indian history. It depicts Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in a solemn exchange with his brave commander, Baji Prabhu Deshpande, at the narrow mountain pass of Pawan Khind. The painting breathes with the weight of duty, as the king prepares to move to safety while his loyal general prepares to hold the pass against overwhelming odds. The artist, M.V. Dhurandhar, masterfully utilizes light and shadow to convey the gravity of their parting, imbuing the scene with a profound sense of historical tragedy and unwavering honor. It serves as a visual hymn to the spirit of selflessness that defined the Maratha struggle for sovereignty.
