भला राख की ढेरी बनकर क्या होगा? इससे तो अच्छा है कि जाने के पहले अपना सब कुछ दान कर जाऊँ ।
अपनी आँखें मैं अपनी स्पेशल के ड्राइवर को दे जाऊँगा । ताकि वह गाड़ी चलाते समय भी फ़ुटपाथ पर चलती फुलवारियाँ देख सके
अपने कान अपने अफ़सर को कि वे चुग़लियों के शोर में कविता से वंचित न हों
अपना मुँह नेताजी को --बेचारे भाषण के मारे अभी भूखे रह जाते हैं
अपने हाथ श्री चतुर्भुज शास्त्री को ताकि वे अपना नाम सार्थ्क कर सकें
अपने पैर उस अभागे चोर को जिसके, सुना है, पैर नहीं होते हैं
और अपना दिल मेरी जान! तुमको ताकि तुम प्रेम करके भी पतिव्रता बनी रहो!

The Poet
भारत भूषण अग्रवाल
Bharat Bhushan Agarwal
1919 · 1975
Bharat Bhushan Agarwal was a cornerstone of the Prayogvaad or Experimentalist movement in Hindi literature. Born in 1919 in Mathura, he emerged as a vital voice in the famous Tar Saptak anthology compiled by Agyeya. Agarwal refused to let modern poetry become overly solemn or disconnected from daily life. He possessed a brilliant command over satire, using it to dissect middle class hypocrisies and bureaucratic absurdities with sharp wit. However, his work also harbored a deep underlying sensitivity to the human condition. His collection Utna Vah Suraj Hai earned him the Sahitya Akademi Award posthumously in 1976, shortly after his death in 1975. He was a poet who could make readers laugh at the absurdities of the system in one stanza and reflect deeply on existential loneliness in the next.
Paired Painting
Hanuman Revealing Rama and Sita in His Heart
This profound painting captures the absolute pinnacle of devotion, bhakti, showing the divine monkey hero Hanuman tearing open his own chest to reveal the eternal presence of Lord Rama and Sita seated gently within his heart. Created in the bustling precincts of nineteenth century Kolkata near the Kalighat temple, artists working in this vibrant folk style captured the spiritual pulse of pilgrims and city dwellers alike. The bold sweeping brushstrokes, deep indigo washes, and vibrant crimson heart speak directly to the soul, stripping away earthly vanities to display the pure sanctuary of faith. Hanuman embodies the selfless servant whose every breath resonates with the divine names, a timeless reminder that true devotion requires the complete offering of oneself.
