गिर रहे पत्ते चिनारों के, छतों पर सेब के बागान की किस्मत जगेगी लौट आओ,जंग से भागे परेबो मंदिरों की मूरतें हँसने लगेंगी ।
लौट आओ, तुम जहाँ भी हो, तुम्हारी है ज़रूरत आज फिर से वादियों को याद करती हैं सुबक कर रोज़ केसर- क्यारियाँ अपने पुराने साथियों को
काँच के बिखरे हुए टुकड़े सहेजो गीत की फ़सलें नई इनसे उगेंगी।
जेब में बीरान घर की चाभियाँ ले तुम चले थे ज़ंगखोरों को हराने याद करती आज भी भुतहा हवेली जीतकर भी हारते क्यों, राम जाने
लौट आओ, सब्ज़ बचपन को दुलारो खाइयाँ मन और मौसम की भरेंगी ।
जो गढे सूरज सुबह से शाम तक, क्यों एक अँजुरी धूप को वह नस्ल तरसे! सोखकर पानी सभी बूढ़ी नदी का व्योमवासी मेघ पर्वत पार बरसे
लौट आओ तुम कि फिर सीली हवाएँ चोटियों पर बर्फ़ के फाहे धरेंगी ।

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.

Hermitage of Valmiki, Folio from the Nadaun Ramayana
This exquisite folio captures a moment of profound spiritual sanctuary within the hermitage of the sage Valmiki. As the Ramayana reaches its poignant conclusion, the forest setting becomes a haven of peace where the divine Sita finds refuge and maternal grace. The artist invites us to witness a landscape where nature and spirit coalesce, depicting the animals living in harmonious proximity to the holy hermitage. Every stroke reflects the deep reverence held for the epic tradition, portraying a world where the sorrows of the mortal realm are softened by the serenity of forest life and the wisdom of the sages.
