गीतों के मधुमय आलाप यादों में जड़े रह गए बहुत दूर डूबी पदचाप चौराहे पड़े रह गए
देखभाल लाल-हरी बत्तियाँ तुमने सब रास्ते चुने झरने को झरी बहुत पत्तियाँ मौसम आरोप क्यों सुने वृक्ष देख डाल का विलाप लज्जा से गड़े रह गए
तुमने दिनमानों के साथ-साथ बदली हैं केवल तारीख़ें पर बदली घड़ियों का व्याकरण हम किस महाजन से सीखें बिजली के खंभे से आप एक जगह खड़े रह गए
वह देखो, नदियों ने बाँट दिया पोखर के गड्ढों को जल चमड़े के टुकड़े बिन प्यासा है आँगन चौबारे का नल नींदों के सिमट गए माप सपने ही बड़े रह गए

The Poet
धनंजय सिंह
Dhananjay Singh
Dhananjay Singh represents a deeply grounded voice in contemporary Hindi literature. Born in 1945 in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh, his literary career spans several decades of poetry, ghazals, and lyrical verses. He writes with a profound awareness of the changing human condition and the quiet emotional struggles of ordinary people. Through celebrated collections like Palash Dahke Hain and Din Kyun Beet Gaye, he explores the delicate intersections of memory, nature, and modern existence. He possesses a remarkable ability to craft accessible yet deeply moving verse, bridging the gap between classical poetic traditions and contemporary sensibilities. Honored with the Sahitya Bhushan Samman, he has also dedicated much of his life to editing anthologies and uplifting new literary voices. He remains a steadfast guardian of the Hindi lyric form, writing poems that feel both intensely personal and universally relevant.
Paired Painting
Landscape with Palace and Elephant
This evocative work serves as a silent witness to a bygone era in India, capturing the quiet majesty of a royal residence reflected upon the water. The presence of the elephant, a creature long revered as a symbol of grace, power, and wisdom in Indian culture, adds a profound layer of dignity to the scene. It invites us to contemplate the intersection of human architectural ambition and the serene permanence of the natural landscape. The artist, known only by the initials G. R. R., has captured the soft, golden light of the late afternoon, inviting the viewer to step into a moment of peace that has persisted through the decades.
