व्यूह से तो निकलना ही है समर करते हुए रण में बसर करते हुए ।
हाथ की तलवार में बाँधे क़लम लोहित सियाही सियासत की चाल चलते बुद्धि कौशल के सिपाही
ज़हर-सा चढ़ते गढ़े जज़्बे असर करते हुए रण में बसर करते हुए ।
बदल कर पाले घिनाते सब उधर के प्यार पर अकीदे की आँख टिकती जब नए सरदार पर
कसर रखकर निभाते आबाद घर करते हुए रण में बसर करते हुए ।
धार अपनी माँज कर बारीक करना तार-सा निकल जाना है सुई की नोक के उस पार सा
ज़िन्दगी जी जाएगी इतना सफ़र करते हुए रण में बसर करते हुए ।

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.
