तुमको निहारता हूँ सुबह से ऋतम्बरा अब शाम हो रही है मगर मन नहीं भरा

ख़रगोश बन के दौड़ रहे हैं तमाम ख़्वाब फिरता है चाँदनी में कोई सच डरा—डरा

पौधे झुलस गए हैं मगर एक बात है मेरी नज़र में अब भी चमन है हरा—भरा

लम्बी सुरंग-से है तेरी ज़िन्दगी तो बोल मैं जिस जगह खड़ा हूँ वहाँ है कोई सिरा

माथे पे हाथ रख के बहुत सोचते हो तुम गंगा क़सम बताओ हमें कया है माजरा

Echo of Love

Paired Painting

Echo of Love

In this evocative masterpiece, Hemendranath Mazumdar captures a moment of profound interiority, where the human spirit seems to commune with the silence of nature. The artist, celebrated for his exceptional ability to render the female form with both grace and atmospheric depth, portrays a woman whose posture suggests a gentle hesitation or a lingering memory. Her presence is suffused with a soft, romantic melancholy that defines the signature style of Mazumdar, who navigated the intersection of traditional Indian aesthetics and Western academic techniques. She stands as a bridge between the tangible world and the realm of emotion, her gaze inviting the viewer to contemplate the unspoken echoes of the heart. To behold this painting is to witness the quiet elegance of a bygone era, rendered with a brush that revered the tenderness of the human experience.
