मैं तो झोंका हूँ हवा का उड़ा ले जाऊँगा जागती रहना तुझे तुझसे चुरा ले जाऊँगा
हो के कदमों पे निछावर फूल ने बुत से कहा ख़ाक में मिल के भी मैं खुश्बू बचा ले जाऊँगा
कौन सी शै मुझको पहुँचाएगी तेरे शहर तक ये पता तो तब चलेगा जब पता ले जाऊँगा
कोशिशें मुझको मिटाने की भले हों कामयाब मिटते-मिटते भी मैं मिटने का मजा ले जाऊँगा
शोहरतें जिनकी वजह से दोस्त दुश्मन हो गये सब यह रह जायेंगी मैं साथ क्या ले जाऊँगा

The Poet
कुमार विश्वास
Kumar Vishwas
1970 · 2010s
Kumar Vishwas redefined the public consumption of Hindi poetry for the twenty first century. Born in 1970 in Pilkhuwa, Uttar Pradesh, he stepped out of academia and onto the stage, transforming quiet college campuses into massive arenas of poetic celebration. He possesses an uncanny ability to connect traditional lyrical forms with the restless energy of modern youth. His most famous poem Koi Deewana Kehta Hai transcended literary circles to become an anthem for an entire generation. While purists sometimes debated his immense popularity, Vishwas successfully dismantled the barrier between elite literary traditions and mass appeal. He brought the Hindi language back to prime time, proving that romantic and patriotic verses still hold the power to captivate millions.
Paired Painting
Shakuntala Looking for Dushyanta
This profound canvas brings to life a tender, poignant moment from the ancient Sanskrit masterpiece by Kalidasa, capturing the heroine Shakuntala as she feigns the removal of a thorn from her foot, solely to steal a lingering, longing glance at King Dushyanta. Raja Ravi Varma masterfully bridges classical Indian mythology with European academic realism, infusing the forested riverbank setting with a palpable, emotional atmosphere. The gentle play of light upon Shakuntala's translucent drapery and the noble, mesmerized posture of Dushyanta evoke a deep sense of timeless romance and spiritual yearning, immortalizing a fleeting second of divine love.
