Neel-Kamal-Tal Par Utar Gaye Cheelon Ke Jhund
Dhananjay Singh5 verses · ~1 min
सुबह-सुबह नील-कमल-ताल पर उतर गए चीलों के झुण्ड ।
अभी-अभी नावों ने खोले थे पाल मगर बह निकली दक्षिणी हवाएँ रह-रह कर भयावना अट्टहास करती हैं खोल रही यक्षिणी जटाएँ
रक्त–माँस–मज्जा की ज्वलन-गन्ध उगल रहे धूमायित ज्वाल भरे कुण्ड ।
हंसों ने पंख खोल लम्बी की गरदनें पंक्तिबद्ध काफ़िले उड़े मानसरोवर-तट पर दीर्घ मौन आ बैठा कलरव के मेले उजड़े
प्रवचन की मुद्रा में श्वेत बकुल आ बैठे मस्तक पर धार कर त्रिपुण्ड ।

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.

He remains a steadfast guardian of the Hindi lyric form, writing poems that feel both intensely personal and universally relevant.
Paired Painting
Bhairavi as Shamashan Kali in the Devotee's Vision
This exceptionally powerful miniature captures a profound mystical encounter within the desolate expanse of a cremation ground. Goddess Bhairavi manifests in the vision of an accomplished spiritual seeker, radiating an intense divine energy that transcends ordinary perception. Seated amidst rising pyre smoke, skeletal remains, and wandering jackals, the fiery red deity embodies the fierce aspect of liberation, dissolving fear and ego. Beside her, a devoted ascetic sits in quiet reverence, utterly transfixed by the terrifying yet sublime spectacle of the Divine Mother. Every brushstroke invokes the deep esoteric traditions of Tantra, where the cremation ground becomes the ultimate stage for spiritual awakening and transcendence.
