हमने जग की अजब तस्वीर देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं ये प्रभु की अद्भुत जागीर देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं
हमे हँसते मुखड़े चार मिले दुखियारे चेहरे हज़ार मिले यहाँ सुख से सौ गुनी पीड़ देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं हमने जग की अजब तस्वीर देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं
दो एक सुखी यहाँ लाखों में आंसू है करोड़ों आँखों में हमने गिन गिन हर तकदीर देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं हमने जग की अजब तस्वीर देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं
कुछ बोल प्रभु ये क्या माया तेरा खेल समझ में ना आया हमने देखे महल रे कुटीर देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं हमने जग की अजब तस्वीर देखी एक हँसता है दस रोते हैं

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.

Lord Krishna Consoling Draupadi After Vastraharan
This deeply emotional canvas depicts a poignant moment from the Mahabharata, specifically following the harrowing trial of Draupadi in the royal court. In the wake of humiliation, when mortal protectors stood paralyzed by circumstance and silent out of fear, Lord Krishna manifests as the ultimate refuge and divine protector. With tender grace, His luminous blue hands cup Draupadi's tearful face, offering infinite solace and spiritual warmth. In the background, the figures of the Kauravas and a dejected, brooding presence symbolize the heavy burden of adharma and the impending storm of cosmic justice, while Krishna and Draupadi remain bathed in a quiet circle of sacred empathy.
