भड़का रहे हैं आग लब-ए-नग़्मागार से हम| ख़ामोश क्या रहेंगे ज़माने के डर से हम|

कुछ और बड़ गए अंधेरे तो क्या हुआ, मायूस तो नहीं हैं तुलु-ए-सहर से हम| [सहर=शाम]

ले दे के अपने पास फ़क़त एक नज़र तो है, क्यूँ देखें ज़िन्दगी को किसी की नज़र से हम|

माना कि इस ज़मीं को न गुलज़ार कर सके, कुछ ख़ार कम कर गए गुज़रे जिधर से हम|

Veer Durgadas Rathore in the Wilderness

This profound canvas brings to life the indomitable spirit of Veer Durgadas Rathore, the legendary hero of Marwar who dedicated his entire existence to protecting the sovereignty and honor of Jodhpur. Surrounded by the rugged and unforgiving terrain of the Aravalli hills, Durgadas is portrayed during a moment of quiet yet vigilant exile, accompanied by loyal companions and soldiers. The crackling campfire casts a warm, flickering glow against the dark foliage and stony ground, symbolizing the enduring spark of Rajput resistance during the tumultuous campaigns of the late seventeenth century. Every brushstroke honors his immense personal sacrifices, capturing the silent dignity of a leader who chose a path of endless struggle and hardship over submission, forever etching his name in the hearts of those who revere devotion to the motherland.
