चलो चलें मन सपनो के गाँव में काँटों से दूर कहीं फूलों की छाँव में चलो चलें मन...
हो रहे इशारे रेशमी घटाओं में चलो चलें मन...
आओ चलें हम एक साथ वहां दुःख ना जहाँ कोई गम ना जहाँ आज है निमंत्रण सन सन हवाओं में चलो चलें मन...
रहना मेरे संग में हर दम ऐसा ना हो के बिछड़ जायें हम घूमना है हमको दूर की दिशाओं में
चलो चलें मन सपनो के गाँव में काँटों से दूर कहीं फूलों की छाँव में चलो चलें मन...

The Poet
प्रदीप
Kavi Pradeep
1915 · 1998
Kavi Pradeep possessed a voice that became the emotional anchor of a newly independent nation. Born Ramchandra Narayanji Dwivedi in 1915 in Badnagar, Madhya Pradesh, he chose the pen name Pradeep and devoted his literary life to the cause of Indian freedom and national unity. He did not write poetry for elite literary circles. He wrote for the soldier, the farmer, and the ordinary citizen. When the 1962 war with China left the nation shattered, Pradeep penned the immortal lyrics of Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo. Sung by Lata Mangeshkar, this song famously moved Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to tears and permanently enshrined Pradeep in the hearts of millions. Throughout his career, he wrote over seventeen hundred songs and poems, including the defiant anti colonial anthem Door Hato Ae Duniya Walo. Recognizing his monumental contribution, the government honored him with the title of Rashtrakavi and the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke Award. He passed away in 1998, but his words continue to define the purest essence of Indian patriotism. He proved that a single song can heal the wounds of an entire country.
Paired Painting
The Village Entrance
This tranquil scene captures a moment of timeless stillness within a village landscape. Painted in 1889, the work reflects the quiet dignity of rural life, rendered with a soft, sun drenched palette that evokes the humid warmth of the tropics. The modest structure stands as a silent witness to the daily rhythms of the community, framed by lush foliage that suggests a harmonious coexistence between architecture and nature. There is a profound sense of humility in the composition, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the gentle beauty of an overlooked path.
