भरे हुए को भरते बादल सोचो, यह क्या करते बादल । उनके खेत बरसते केवल उनसे भी क्या डरते बादल । किस नदिया के आमन्त्रण पर बनते और सँवरते बादल । हाँक रही है हवा पहाड़ी बुग्यालों में चरते बादल । मोती चुग कर सिंधु-दुर्ग से पंख पसार उतरते बादल । वृन्दावन की बात और है वैसे, नहीं ठहरते बादल । देखो कभी गौर से नभ में बाने कितने धरते बादल ।

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
Yoginis and Krishna
This exquisite miniature transports us into a lush, liminal landscape where the divine manifests amidst the mysteries of the forest. Lord Krishna, seated serenely upon a verdant hill, watches over a scene that bridges the gap between the mundane and the supernatural. Below him, yoginis are depicted in various states of ritual observance, their presence suggesting a profound meditation on the nature of reality and the soul. The dark, brooding clouds above signal the approach of a monsoon, heightening the emotional charge of the encounter. As a viewer, one feels the hushed reverence of the setting, where every tree, animal, and human figure serves as a contemplative marker in a sacred geography. It is a masterpiece of storytelling, capturing the intimacy of the spiritual journey and the boundless grace of the divine protector.
