कभी बादल, कभी कश्ती, कभी गर्दाब लगे वो बदन जब भी सजे कोई नया ख्वाब लगे
एक चुप चाप सी लड़की, न कहानी न ग़ज़ल याद जो आये कभी रेशम-ओ-किम्ख्वाब लगे
अभी बे-साया है दीवार कहीं लोच न ख़म कोई खिड़की कहीं निकले कहीं मेहराब लगे
घर के आँगन मैं भटकती हुई दिन भर की थकन रात ढलते ही पके खेत सी शादाब लगे

Smriti
Hemendranath Majumdar was a master of the romantic gaze, capturing the quietude of the feminine soul with unparalleled grace. In this work, titled Smriti, he invites the viewer into a moment of profound introspection. The subject is draped in the signature wet sari style that defined Majumdar's contribution to Indian naturalism, evoking a sense of vulnerability and timeless elegance. Her downward glance suggests the weight of nostalgia, turning the viewer into a silent witness to a private memory. Through his brush, he elevates the domestic sphere into a site of spiritual reflection, blending European academic rigor with the soft, ethereal beauty characteristic of the Bengal aesthetic.
