दिल में ना हो ज़ुर्रत तो मोहब्बत नहीं मिलती ख़ैरात में इतनी बड़ी दौलत नहीं मिलती
कुछ लोग यूँ ही शहर में हमसे भी ख़फा हैं हर एक से अपनी भी तबीयत नहीं मिलती
देखा था जिसे मैंने कोई और था शायद वो कौन है जिससे तेरी सूरत नहीं मिलती
हँसते हुए चेहरों से है बाज़ार की ज़ीनत रोने को यहाँ वैसे भी फुरसत नहीं मिलती

Paired Painting
A Parsee Girl
Pestonji Bomanjee stands as one of the luminaries of nineteenth century Indian art, bridging traditional Indian subjects with the rigorous discipline of European academic realism. In A Parsee Girl, painted in Bombay in 1887, the artist captures a tender yet striking moment of a young Parsi girl engaged with art or imagery, dressed in exquisitely detailed traditional attire adorned with rich embroidery. Her delicate expression is rendered with a profound empathy that transcends mere portraiture, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into the identity and cultural grace of the Zoroastrian community during a time of great shifting paradigms in the subcontinent. Every brushstroke reveals Bomanjee's mastery over light and shadow, illuminating the subtle textures of fabric and the gentle gaze of youth, ensuring the canvas remains a cherished window into a bygone era of Indian portraiture.
