ऊपर गगन विशाल नीचे गहरा पाताल बीच में धरती वाह मेरे मालिक तू ने किया कमाल अरे वाह मेरे मालिक क्या तेरी लीला एक फूँक से रच दिया तू ने सूरज अगन का गोला एक फूँक से रचा चन्द्रमा लाखों सितारों का टोला तू ने रच दिया पवन झखोला ये पानी और ये शोला ये बादल का उड़न खटोला जिसे देख हमारा मन डोला सोच सोच हम करें अचम्भा नज़र न आता एक भी खम्बा फिर भी ये आकाश खड़ा है हुए करोड़ो साल मालिक तू ने किया कमाल

तू ने रचा एक अद्भुत् प्राणी जिसका नाम इनसान भरा हुआ तूफ़ान

इस जग में इनसान के दिल को कौन सका पहचान इस में ही शैतान बसा है इस में ही भगवान बड़ा ग़ज़ब का है ये खिलौना इसका नहीं मिसाल मालिक तू ने किया कमाल ऊपर गगन विशाल

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 Revealing His Universal Form to Arjuna on the Chariot

This profound artistic vision captures one of the most sublime moments in the Mahabharata, set upon the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The pandava prince Arjuna, overwhelmed by doubt and grief, finds divine solace in his charioteer and eternal guide, Lord Krishna. Here, the veil of mortal illusion is lifted as Krishna reveals His awe inspiring cosmic form, the Visvarupa, encompassing all of creation, time, and space within His infinite being. Multitudinous faces, celestial light, and divine arms emerge from the luminous background, embodying the terrifying yet supreme majesty of the Supreme Lord, while Arjuna looks on in reverent devotion with folded hands, forever transformed by the sacred dialogue of the Bhagavad Gita.
