जो दिल की धड़कनें समझे न आँखों की ज़ुबाँ समझे नज़र की गुफ़्तगू समझे न जज़बों का बयाँ समझे उसी के सामने उसकी शिक़ायत का इरादा है किसी पत्थर की मूरत से ...
मुहब्बत बेरुख़ी से और भड़केगी वो क्या जाने तबीयत इस अदा पे और फड़केगी वो क्या जाने वो क्या जाने कि अपना किस क़यामत का इरादा है किसी पत्थर की मूरत से ...
सुना है हर जवाँ पत्थर के दिल में आग होती है मगर जब तक न छेड़ो, शर्म के पर्दे में सोती है ये सोचा है की दिल की बात उसके रूबरू कह दे नतीजा कुच भी निकले आज अपनी आरज़ू कह दे हर इक बेजाँ तक़ल्लुफ़ से बग़ावत का इरादा है किसी पत्थर की मूरत से ...

The Poet
साहिर लुधियानवी
Sahir Ludhianvi
1921 · 1980
Sahir Ludhianvi possessed a voice that refused to separate the agony of romance from the brutal inequalities of the world. Born Abdul Hayee in 1921 in Punjab, he adopted the pen name Sahir, meaning magician, and proved it entirely accurate through a lifelong mastery of Urdu poetry. As a prominent figure in the Progressive Writers Movement, he rejected the traditional obsession with the idealized beloved. Instead, he forced his readers to look at the poverty, the exploitation, and the hypocrisies of society that destroy love before it can even bloom. When he entered the Hindi film industry, he fundamentally changed the stature of the lyricist. Directors and composers adapted their music to his words, rather than the other way around. Through films like Pyaasa and Kabhi Kabhie, he brought profound literary dignity and fierce anti establishment critique to mainstream cinema. He passed away in 1980, but his poetry remains a burning torch. Sahir remains the ultimate poet of the disenchanted, a man who wrote beautiful verses to express an absolute refusal to accept an ugly world.
Paired Painting
Arjuna and Urvashi
This profound artistic rendering immortalizes a poignant encounter from the Mahabharata, where the celestial nymph Urvashi approaches the noble hero Arjuna in his heavenly abode. Captivated by his grace, the apsara confesses her deep affection, yet Arjuna responds with supreme moral fortitude, addressing her with the profound reverence of a son toward a mother. Raja Ravi Varma captures this delicate tension with exquisite dramatic flair, fusing European academic realism with deeply cherished Indian mythological traditions. Through the vibrant chromolithograph medium, the divine dignity of Arjuna and the mesmerized longing of Urvashi transcend canvas and print, inviting every viewer to witness a timeless testament to virtue, celestial beauty, and spiritual restraint.
