तुम्हारी चुप्पी से डर कर अपने भीतर चला गया हूँ मैं अपनी आवाज़ों के दायरे में घूमता हुआ दिन-रात

भीतर की यह यात्रा ज़िन्दगी से मौत की ओर ले जाने वाली भले न हो ज़िन्दगी से ज़िन्दगी की ओर ले जाने वाली नहीं है

तुम्हारी चुप्पी पर कोई सुबह उतर आती काश! उतर आती पूरे चाँद की रात! फूलों का मौसम उतर आता! उतर आती ठंडी-ठंडी फुहार!

ख़ुद से बाहर निकलने की कोशिश करता मै तुम्हारी आवाज़ों के दायरे में वापस आने के लिए दुबारा

The poem evokes a melancholic and contemplative atmosphere of emotional isolation, where the speaker retreats into the solitary, claustrophobic labyrinth of his own psyche to escape the weight of a partner's silence. A painting of this scene would depict a lone, shadowed figure standing in a vast, barren landscape at dawn, physically present yet psychologically distant, framed against a sky that transitionally yearns for the vibrant light of a full moon or the softening touch of a cooling rain. This imagery symbolizes a stagnant journey of the soul—neither an end nor a true movement forward—representing a romantic tragedy defined by the desperate desire to bridge the chasm of silence and return to the warmth of mutual communion. The artistic tone is one of yearning and gentle despair, capturing the suspended, fragile hope that the sensory beauty of the seasons might finally dissolve the hardening walls between two hearts.

The verse is hung beside Mountain Landscape: The painting evokes a mood of solemn solitude, profound stillness, and hushed reverence before the monumental scale of nature. It depicts a rugged, high-altitude mountain landscape at dawn, where jagged, snow-capped…

The Poet

शलभ श्रीराम सिंह

Shalabh Shriram Singh

1939 · 1960s

Shalabh Shriram Singh was a bohemian visionary who deliberately rejected the comfortable illusions of mainstream literature to forge an entirely new path. Born in 1938 in the Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh, he became the driving force behind the Yuyutsawad movement in Hindi poetry during the late 1960s. He refused to be categorized by traditional literary epochs, writing with a rebellious spirit that sought a total transformation of society. His iconic poem Nafas Nafas Kadam Kadam became a revolutionary anthem, echoing through protests and progressive circles long after it was written. Singh possessed a remarkable ability to bridge the lyrical traditions of the Urdu ghazal with the grounded realities of modern Hindi verse. He wrote not for applause, but to confront the deep social inequalities and religious hypocrisies that plagued the nation. Passing away in 2000, he left behind a legacy that continues to inspire young writers. He remains a fearless poet of the marginalized, proving that true literature must possess the courage to make the comfortable feel intensely uncomfortable.
