गाम अपनो लगय आन गामे जकाँ तैं फिरै छी बने-बोन रामे जकाँ।
ओ जे सरिसोक हरदी रड.ल खेत छल आर सपना जे भोरक ओ समवेत छल सभ बिला गेल दंडप्रणामे जकाँ तैं फिरै छी बने-बोन रामे जकाँ।
ओ जे मुस्की छलै घोघटक तऽर सँ आर लहठी बजै छल कोहबर सँ सभ हेरायल ओठंगर क धाने जकाँ। तैं फिरैछी बने-बोन रामे जकाँ।
ओ इनारक भरल डोल छिलकैत जल एक झलकी ले' बाटो पियासल छल सभ भथा गेल पोखरिक मोहाने जकाँ तैं फिरै छी बने-बोन रामे जकाँ।

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.

Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana in the Jungle
This delicate masterpiece captures the poignant exile of Prince Rama, his devoted wife Sita, and his loyal brother Lakshmana as they traverse the Dandaka forest. The artist portrays the trio in traditional forest attire, crafted from leaves and bark, which signifies their humble renunciation of royal comforts. The landscape is depicted with tender lyricism, where the winding river and flowering trees create a serene backdrop for their divine journey. This painting serves as a spiritual meditation on duty, sacrifice, and the enduring bond of family amidst the unpredictability of the wilderness.
