कूसक औँठी, कूसक आसन जागक उसरल माटिक बासन चुटकी भरि सिदहा क चाउर सँ पालै छी पलिबार बघुआबै अछि तैयो हमरे पर बिढ़नी-संसार।
दुपहरिया धरि पाठ करै छी जैजमानक सभ ग्रह कटैत छी गूड़क मारि धोकरिए जानय बिना फलक आसें खटैत छी नटुआ जकाँ नचा कें मारय राति इजोरिया डिबिया बारय ग्रह-ग्रहीत सन गत्र-गत्र अछि किछु पर नहि अधिकार।
बघुआबै अछि तैयो हमरे पर बिढ़नी- संसार।
जेठक परती जकाँ तबै छी हरियर करची जकाँ लबै छी भोरे भोर पराती लाथें 'कखन हरब दुख मोर' गबै छी गाछी भागल, पोखरि भागल दस धूरक बरमोतर भागल सभ किछु उपटि गेल अछि तैयो धैने छी चिनबार।
बघुआबै अछि तैयो हमरे पर बिढ़नी संसार।

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
Mandodari
In this evocative masterpiece, Raja Ravi Varma turns his visionary gaze toward Mandodari, the noble queen of Lanka and wife of Ravana, immortalizing her not merely as a mythological figure, but as a living soul burdened by deep sorrow, righteousness, and quiet devotion. Set within the solemn corridors of an ancient temple, the scene captures Mandodari engaged in charitable giving, bestowing alms upon a humble devotee with an expression of tender melancholy. Her rich red sari glows with divine warmth, contrasting against the carved stone pillars that whisper tales of ancient times. Varma masterfully humanizes the epic narrative, inviting the beholder to feel the quiet dignity and spiritual depth of a queen who remained steadfast in her virtue amidst impending tragedy.
