सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है देखना है ज़ोर कितना बाज़ुए-क़ातिल में है वक़्त आने दे बता देंगे तुझे ऐ आसमाँ हम अभी से क्या बताएँ क्या हमारे दिल में है सरफ़रोशी की...
देख फाँसी का ये फंदा ख़ौफ़ से है काँपता उफ़्फ़ कि जल्लादों की हालत भी बड़ी मुश्किल में है नर्म स्याही से लिखे शेरों की बातें चुक गईं इक नई बारूद से लिक्खी ग़ज़ल महफ़िल में है देखना है ज़ोर कितना...
आँख से टपकी लहू की बूँद को ले हाथ में सर कटा दें ऐ वतन बस ये ही हसरत दिल में है ज़िन्दगी के रास्तों पे ख़ूब यारो चल लिए अब ज़रा देखें छुपा क्या मौत की मंज़िल में है देखना है ज़ोर कितना...

The Poet
पीयूष मिश्रा
Piyush Mishra
1963 · 2018
Piyush Mishra does not merely write poetry; he performs it with the raw and unpolished intensity of a man possessed by the contradictions of modern life. Born in Gwalior in 1963, Mishra brought the fierce energy of theatrical rebellion into the realm of contemporary Hindi and Urdu verse. Trained at the National School of Drama, his literary voice is inseparable from his stagecraft. He tackles the complexities of political disillusionment, the agony of lost youth, and the hypocrisies of the capitalist machine with blistering honesty. Pieces like Aarambh Hai Prachand and Husna bridge the gap between classical lyricism and street level angst, ensuring his words resonate powerfully with the restless youth of India. Mishra possesses a rare ability to weave existential despair into intoxicating rhythms, proving that poetry can still scream loudly enough to wake a sleeping conscience. He remains a profoundly influential artist who treats the written word not as a delicate art object, but as a burning torch.
Paired Painting
Shivaji Maharaj at Agra
The painting captures a soul stirring moment of defiance and contemplation during the historic visit of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to the Mughal court in Agra. We see the great Maratha warrior reclining with a regal, measured gaze, reflecting the immense psychological weight of his confrontation with the emperor Aurangzeb. His expression is not one of fear, but of profound strategic resolve (he is surrounded by his loyal companions whose vigilant postures suggest they are ever ready to sacrifice their lives for the defense of their leader). This scene is a poignant testament to a legendary encounter where wit and courage challenged the very heart of an empire, forever etching the spirit of Swarajya into the consciousness of the Indian people.
