बहकावे में रह मत हारिल एक बात तू गाँठ बाँध ले केवल तू ईश्वर है बाकी सब नश्वर है ।
ये तेरी इन्द्रियाँ, दृश्य, सुख-दुख के परदे उठते-गिरते सदा रहेंगे तेरे आगे मुक्त साँड़ बनने से पहले लाल लोह-मुद्रा से वृष जाएँगे दागे
भटकावे में रह मत हारिल पकड़े रह अपनी लकड़ी को यही बताएगी अब तेरी दिशा किधर है ।
यह जो तू है, क्या वैसा ही है जैसा तू बचपन में था? कहाँ गया मदमाता यौवन जो कस्तूरी की ख़ुशबू था ।
दुनिया चलती हुई ट्रेन है जिसमें बैठा देख रहा तू नगर-डगर, सागर, गिरि कानन छूट रहे हैं एक-एक कर ।
कोई फ़र्क नहीं तेरे इस ब्लैक बॉक्स में भरा हुआ पत्थर है या हीरा-कंचन है । जितना तू उपयोग कर रहा मोहावृत जग में निर्मम हो उतना ही बस तेरा धन है।
एक साँस, बस एक साँस ही तू ख़रीद ले वसुधा का सारा वैभव बदले में देकर!

The Poet
बुद्धिनाथ मिश्र
Buddhinath Mishra
1948 · 1980
Buddhinath Mishra represents the beating, romantic heart of the modern Navgeet movement, keeping the pure lyricism of Hindi poetry alive in an increasingly cynical world. Born in 1949 in the Samastipur district of Bihar, he emerged as a beloved lyricist whose words seamlessly blend the lush beauty of nature with the complex emotional landscape of contemporary life. He is a poet of the seasons, the village courtyard, and the quiet ache of nostalgia. Yet, his work is never disconnected from reality. His verses actively engage with the struggles of the marginalized, capturing the agrarian distress and the shifting cultural values of the Indian heartland. Unlike poets who publish endlessly, Mishra has cultivated a highly distilled body of work, prioritizing profound emotional resonance over sheer volume. His melodic recitations carry a hypnotic quality that captivates vast audiences. He remains a living legend of Hindi song, proving that true poetry does not need to abandon melody to speak the profound truths of the modern age.
Paired Painting
Lord Shiva and Parvati as Hunter and Huntress
In this evocative scene, we witness the divine couple, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, stepping away from their celestial majesty to wander the earthly forests as Kirata and Kirati. The image captures a profound moment of intimacy, where the cosmic balance is mirrored in their earthly disguise. Shiva stands with his trident, adorned with the crescent moon and the snake, his expression one of quiet strength. Beside him, Parvati holds a long bow, her gaze soft yet keen, embodying the grace of a huntress. They represent the unity of the universe, moving through the wild landscapes of creation with a shared, silent understanding that transcends mortal time. This depiction reminds us that the divine is present in every aspect of our existence, from the stillness of the mountain peaks to the heartbeat of the forest.
