आ गए पंछी नदी को पार कर इधर की रंगीनियों से प्यार कर
उधर का सपना उधर ही छोड़ आए हमेशा के वास्ते मुँह मोड़ आए
रास्तों को हर तरह तैयार कर
इस किनारे पंख अपने धो लिए नए सपने उड़ानों में बो लिए
नए पहने फटे वस्त्र उतारकर
नाम बस्ती के खुला मैदान है जंगलों का एक नखलिस्तान है
नाचते सब अंग-अंग उघार कर

The Poet
दिनेश सिंह
Dinesh Singh
1948 · 1970s
Kanwar Dinesh Singh is a vital contemporary voice who moves with remarkable grace between English and Hindi literary traditions. Born in 1973 in New Delhi and deeply shaped by the mountainous landscapes of Shimla, he has carved out a unique space as both a poet and a pioneering haikuist in Hindi literature. While many modern writers lean heavily on complex intellectualism, Singh finds profound beauty in brevity. Through collections like Kuhra Dhanush and Aangan Mein Gauraiya, he adapts the strict, minimalist structure of the Japanese haiku to the linguistic rhythms of Hindi, capturing fleeting moments of nature and delicate human emotions. He also serves as a professor and literary critic, consistently working to foster dialogue between different literary cultures. Honored with the Himachal Pradesh Sahitya Akademi Award, Singh demonstrates that poetry does not need to be loud to be deeply impactful. He is a writer of quiet observation, proving that immense philosophical weight can often be carried in just a few carefully chosen syllables.
Paired Painting
Benaras at the Golden Gate
Eric Kipps captures the eternal vibrancy of the sacred city of Varanasi, known historically as Benaras, through the discerning eyes of a foreign visitor during the colonial era. The artwork pulsates with life as boats cluster densely along the holy waters of the Ganges, shaded by traditional umbrellas that create a mesmerizing mosaic of humanity and commerce. Towering stone ghats and ancient temple spires rise majestically in the background, standing as silent witnesses to centuries of devotion, ritual, and spiritual seeking. Kipps employs an impressionistic palette of rich earth tones and brilliant blues, rendering the shimmering light on the water with profound reverence for the timeless rhythms of this holy sanctuary.
