शंकर की पुरी चीन ने सेना को उतारा चालीस करोड़ों को हिमालय ने पुकारा
हो जाए पराधीन नहीं गंगा की धारा गंगा के किनारों को शिवालय ने पुकारा
हम भाई समझते जिसे दुनिया में उलझ के वह घेर रहा आज हमें बैरी समझ के चोरी भी करे और करे बात गरज के
बर्फों मे पिघलने को चला लाल सितारा चालीस करोड़ों को हिमालय ने पुकारा

The Poet
गोपाल सिंह नेपाली
Gopal Singh Nepali
1911 · 1963
Gopal Singh Nepali lived a life divided between the quiet beauty of nature and the demanding glare of the Hindi film industry. Born in 1911 in Bettiah, Bihar, he emerged as a prominent voice in the post Chhayavaad era of Hindi poetry. Collections like Umang and Panchhi captured a profound love for the natural world, freedom, and the Himalayan landscapes. However, financial struggles eventually pushed him toward Mumbai, where he achieved tremendous success as a lyricist. He wrote roughly three hundred songs for over fifty films, crafting immortal melodies that blended high poetic dignity with popular appeal. During the national crisis of 1962, he wrote stirring patriotic verses that roused the conscience of the nation. Yet, despite his massive contributions to literature and cinema, the literary establishment often treated him with undeserved neglect. He passed away suddenly at the Bhagalpur railway station in 1963, completely unrecognized in his final moments. His life stands as a poignant reminder of the heavy price often paid by independent artists.
Paired Painting
Shivaji Maharaj Killing Afzal Khan
This painting captures the legendary and pivotal moment in Maratha history when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj encountered the Bijapur general Afzal Khan at the foothills of Pratapgad. It is a scene defined by immense courage, tactical brilliance, and the defense of sovereignty. The artist masterfully portrays the intensity of the struggle, stripping away the pretenses of diplomatic parley to reveal the visceral reality of a conflict that would alter the course of Indian history. Shivaji Maharaj appears composed yet fierce, embodying the spirit of self reliance and righteousness against an overwhelming force. We are invited to witness not just a battle, but a transformative act of liberation that remains etched in the soul of the Marathi people.
