Shringara
Loutna Padega Phir Phir Ghar
Dhananjay Singh5 verses · ~1 min
घर की देहरी पर छूट गए संवाद याद यों आएँगे यात्राएँ छोड़ बीच में ही लौटना पड़ेगा फिर-फिर घर
यह आँगन धन्यवाद देकर मन ही मन यों मुस्काएगा यात्राएँ सभी अधूरी हैं तू लौट यहीं फिर आएगा ओ जाने वाले परदेसी ये पथ तुझको भरमाएँगे
घर की यादों के जले दीप रेती में आग लगाएँगे छालों को छीलेंगे तेरे सपनों के महलों के खण्डहर
ये विदा-समय की नम पलकें हारे कंधे थपकाएँगी गोधूलि सनी घंटियाँ तुझे पगडंडी पर ले आएँगी तुलसी चौरे के पास जला दीवा सूरज बन जाएगा तुतली बोली वाला छौना प्राणों में हूक जगाएगा
कस्तूरी-से गंधाते पल टेरेंगे रे हिरना अक्सर

The Poet
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.
