जिहि फन फुत्कार उड़त पहाड़ भार, कूरम कठिन जनु कमल बिदगिलो. विवजल ज्वालामुखी लवलीन होत जिन, झारन विकारी मद दिग्गज उगलिगो. कीन्हो जिहि पण पयपान सो जहान कुल, कोलहू उछलि जलसिंधु खलभलिगो. खग्ग खगराज महराज सिवराज जू को, अखिल भुजंग मुगलद्द्ल निगलिगो.

Kavi Bhushan
1613 · 1715
Kavi Bhushan stands as a monumental figure in classical Hindi literature who fundamentally redirected the trajectory of courtly poetry. Born in 1613, he chose not to write conventional verses of romantic indulgence. Instead, he dedicated his pen to Veer Rasa (heroic poetry) during a highly turbulent period in Indian history. Bhushan served as an honored poet in the courts of the Maratha king Shivaji and the Bundeli king Chhatrasal. His most celebrated works, such as 'Shiva Bavani' and 'Chhatrasal Dashak', are electric chronicles of martial valor and political resistance. Writing in a robust form of Brajbhasha interspersed with Sanskrit, Arabic, and Persian, he commanded a mastery over complex poetic meters and figures of speech like Shlesh Alankar. Bhushan did not merely flatter his patrons; he immortalized them as defenders of cultural dignity, making his verses echo like war drums across the centuries.
