तुमने मेरे मन को ऐसे छू दिया गानवती ज्यो कोई छू दे , सोये हुए सितार को गूंगा मन जय-जयवंती गाने लगा ।
जाने क्या था ढाई आखर नाम में गति ने जन्म ले लिया पूर्ण विराम में
रोम-रोम में सावन मुसकाने लगा ।
खुली हँसी के ऐसे जटिल मुहावरे कूट पद्य जिनके आगे पानी भरे
प्रहेलिका-संकेतक भटकाने लगा ।
बिम्ब-प्रतीक न जिसका चित्रण कर सकें वर्ग-पहेली जिसे न हम हल कर सकें
कोई मन को ऐसा उलझाने लगा ।

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
Lady Playing Sitara
This breathtaking masterpiece by Raja Ravi Varma captures a quiet, transcendent moment of aesthetic grace. A serene noblewoman sits beside a tranquil pool, lost in the divine vibrations of her sitar. Every fold of her rich magenta and gold sari, and every delicate detail of the palatial courtyard behind her, reflects the master's profound dedication to fusing European academic realism with deeply rooted Indian classical sensibilities. The painting is not merely a portrait of a musician, but an invitation into a timeless realm of contemplation, where art, melody, and the soul become one.
