Geet Gane Do Mujhe
Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala'3 verses · ~1 min
गीत गाने दो मुझे तो, वेदना को रोकने को।
चोट खाकर राह चलते होश के भी होश छूटे, हाथ जो पाथेय थे, ठग- ठाकुरों ने रात लूटे, कंठ रूकता जा रहा है, आ रहा है काल देखो।
भर गया है ज़हर से संसार जैसे हार खाकर, देखते हैं लोग लोगों को, सही परिचय न पाकर, बुझ गई है लौ पृथा की, जल उठो फिर सींचने को।

Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala'

Paired Painting
Dark and difficult was the Road
This profound work captures a somber moment from the great epic Mahabharata, illustrating Yudhishthira as he traverses the harrowing path toward the afterlife. Abanindranath Tagore, a pioneer of the Bengal School, masterfully renders the spiritual weight of this journey. The luminosity emanating from Yudhishthira contrasts with the grim, cavernous underworld filled with the remnants of mortality. It serves as a visual meditation on the burdens of duty, the solitude of the righteous, and the inevitable shadows one must face before reaching ultimate transcendence.
