सूरज डूब गया बल्ली भर- सागर के अथाह जल में। एक बाँस भर उठ आया है- चांद, ताड के जंगल में। अगणित उंगली खोल, ताड के पत्र, चांदनी में डोले, ऐसा लगा, ताड का जंगल सोया रजत-छत्र खोले कौन कहे, मन कहाँ-कहाँ हो आया, आज एक पल में। बनता मन का मुकुर इंदु, जो मौन गगन में ही रहता, बनता मन का मुकुर सिंधु, जो गरज-गरज कर कुछ कहता, शशि बनकर मन चढा गगन पर, रवि बन छिपा सिंधु तल में। परिक्रमा कर रहा किसी की, मन बन चांद और सूरज, सिंधु किसी का हृदय-दोल है, देह किसी की है भू-रज मन को खेल खिलाता कोई, निशि दिन के छाया-छल में।

The Poet
Narendra Sharma
1913 · 1989
Pandit Narendra Sharma occupied a brilliant intersection between high classical literature and mass broadcast media. Born in 1913 in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh, he evolved through the Chhayavaad romantic era to become a vital voice in the progressive poetry movement. He possessed a profound understanding of classical Sanskrit aesthetics, which he elegantly adapted for the modern Hindi audience. Beyond his distinguished poetry collections like Pravasi Ke Geet, he was a foundational architect of Vividh Bharati, shaping the auditory landscape of Indian radio for decades. Furthermore, he brought immense literary dignity to Indian cinema, penning immortal lyrics including the title track of Satyam Shivam Sundaram. He passed away in 1989, leaving behind a legacy defined by cultural stewardship. He was a poet who ensured that the classical soul of the Hindi language thrived seamlessly within the machinery of modern entertainment.
