मैंने कहा मज़ाक बन गया है देश।
उसने कहा तो तैयार हो जाओ जेल के लिए
मैंने कहा मज़ाक बना दिया गया है संविधान
उसने कहा तो तैयार हो जाओ अदालती धूल चाटने को
मैंने कहा मखौल होकर रह गए राष्ट्रपति, प्रधान मंत्री, मंत्री .....................
उसने कहा तो तैयार हो जाओ फाँसी के लिए
मैंने कहा कौन डरता है
उसने कहा ..... कहा ..... कहा ...... दरअसल उसने कुछ नहीं कहा।

Paired Painting
Shivaji Maharaj in the Court of Aurangzeb
This evocative work captures a defining moment in Indian history: the confrontation between the Maratha king Shivaji Maharaj and the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb at Agra. Within the opulent and suffocating grandeur of the Mughal court, Shivaji Maharaj stands with unwavering composure, his posture reflecting the courage of a lion facing an empire. The artist M. V. Dhurandhar masterfully utilizes light and perspective to contrast the rigid authority of the throne with the resilient spirit of the Maratha warriors. It is a profound meditation on dignity and defiance, illustrating the moment when the Maratha ruler confronted the treachery of his host, a pivotal instant that eventually fueled the rise of the Maratha Empire.
