हम तो खाइब अम्हाड़ को अचार, चुराय के हँडिया से, हमार कोऊ का करि है!
आपुन सपूत केर भर भर थरिया, हमका पियाज -नोन रोटिन पे धरिया! जेतन मिलि जाय ओही पे संतोस करो तऊ पै कंटरौल हजार! हमार कोऊ का करि है!
थारी में लै-लै बचाय रखि जाइब रे! उनको परोसो हमार काम आइब रे तीखी तरकारी बताय छोड़ि जाई जबै, घिउ डारी दार, रोटी चार! हमार कोऊ का करि है!
खींच उहै थरिया पटा पे बैठ जइबे, पियाज हरी मिरच तो आपुनो ही लइबे, तीखी तरकारी तो बड़ा मजा आई, सबाद लै-लै खाई घुँघटा मार! हमार कोऊ का करि है!
उनका तो देइत गमकौआ सबुनवा, सनलैट हमका अउर ऊपर से ठुनकवा वाही से नहाय लेओ, बार मींज माटी सों, नखरा न दिखिबे तुम्हार! हमार कोऊ का करि है!
खँजड़ा पे डारि सनलैट, केर टिकिया, धोई नहाई घिसि-घिसि गमकौआ, वाही से धोइ लेई हम चारि कपरा खुसबू की अइबे बहार! हमार कोऊ का करि है!
खिरकी पे काहे खरी, बंद कर केवरिया, आँखि फारि-फारि मति देख, री बहुरिया, बाहिर की हवा तोहे लगे नुसकान करी, और कहित खीसें मति काढ़! हमार कोऊ का करि है!
गाल चाहे फूलें और टोंके दिन रात रहें, रोकें लगावै, हजार, चाहे लाख कहे, हमार खुस रहिबे, तुम्हार का खरच होत हम तो हँसिबे करी मुँह फार हमार कोऊ का करि है!
उनका बिछावन झका-झक्क चद्दर हमका दै दीन्हा पुरान, दलिद्दर! काहे को सोई, ऊ बेरंग बिछौना पे, सासू-जाये का मजेदार! हमारो कोऊ का करिहै!

The Poet
प्रतिभा सक्सेना
Pratibha Saxena
Dr. Pratibha Saxena holds a distinct and vital place in contemporary Hindi literature. Her work connects the rigorous intellectual demands of academia with the sensitive realities of human relationships. Born on February 9, 1938, in Madhya Pradesh, her life path took her from the lecture halls of Kanpur, where she worked as an educator, to a diasporic existence in the United States. This geographical shift is highly visible in her diverse literary output, which includes poetry, short stories, and satire. In collections like Uttar Katha and Seema Ke Bandhan, she examines the modern domestic sphere. She highlights the subtle constraints placed upon women and the shifting dynamics of family life with deep psychological insight. Her language carries a quiet and confident thoughtfulness that never shouts but still commands complete attention. Saxena has spent decades enriching Hindi literature, demonstrating that a writer can remain deeply rooted in their native culture while living far from home.
Paired Painting
Women at a Marriage Ceremony
In the luminous world of Mahadev Vishwanath Dhurandhar, the everyday rituals of Indian life are elevated to the sublime. This composition brings us into the private, sacred circle of women during a Maharashtrian wedding ceremony. There is a profound sense of sisterhood in their proximity, and the air feels thick with the scent of jasmine and the soft rustle of silk. Dhurandhar does not merely paint a scene: he honors the quiet strength and the elaborate aesthetic traditions of his people. Each fold of a saree and every piece of traditional jewelry is a testament to a cultural identity that remains vibrant. It is a moment of communal joy captured with a reverence that only a true master could achieve, blending academic techniques with a soul that is purely Indian.
