मुझ पर प्यारे शोध करो मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।
चीर-फाड़ कविता के तन की अच्छी बात नहीं ख़ून-पसीने की फ़सलें मिलतीं ख़ैरात नहीं मुझको माला पहनाओ मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।
रोकर गाती है जैसे बुधनी बकरी मरने पर रोकर गाओ, हँसकर गाओ तुम भी जी करने पर मेरी बातें याद करो मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।
दो दिन या दो सदी जिएँगे ये कविवर, क्या जानें हमें जिलाएँगी आकाश- कुसुम-सी ये सन्तानें ज्यादा मेरा नाम रटो मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।

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
Santhal Musicians and Dancers
Jamini Roy turned away from Western academic painting to immerse his soul in the vibrant rhythms of rural Bengal and its indigenous communities. The Santhal people, with their deep connection to the earth and their joyous celebrations of music and dance, became a central pillar of his artistic devotion. In this breathtaking composition, Roy captures the communal harmony and cultural grace of the Santhal tribe, utilizing bold outlines, earthy pigments, and simplified monumental forms that echo the timeless traditions of Kalighat patuas and folk terracotta temples. Every figure resonates with a quiet, meditative dignity, celebrating the heartbeat of indigenous life in India.
