राजनीति का प्रश्न नहीं रे आज जगत के सन्मुख, अर्थ साम्य भी मिटा न सकता मानव जीवन के दुख। व्यर्थ सकल इतिहासों, विज्ञानों का सागर मंथन, वहाँ नहीं युग लक्ष्मी, जीवन सुधा, इंदु जन मोहन!
आज वृहत सांस्कृतिक समस्या जग के निकट उपस्थित, खंड मनुजता को युग युग की होना है नव निर्मित, विविध जाति, वर्गों, धर्मों को होना सहज समन्वित, मध्य युगों की नैतिकता को मानवता में विकसित।
जग जीवन के अंतर्मुख नियमों से स्वयं प्रवर्तित मानव का अवचेतन मन हो गया आज परिवर्तित। वाह्य चेतनाओं में उसके क्षोभ, क्रांति, उत्पीड़न, विगत सभ्यता दंत शून्य फणि सी करती युग नर्तन!
व्यर्थ आज राष्ट्रों का विग्रह, औ’ तोपों का गर्जन, रोक न सकते जीवन की गति शत विनाश आयोजन। नव प्रकाश में तमस युगों का होगा स्वयं निमज्जित, प्रतिक्रियाएँ विगत गुणों की होंगी शनैः पराजित!

The Poet
सुमित्रानंदन पंत
Sumitranandan Pant
1900 · 1977
Sumitranandan Pant was the absolute master of lyrical aestheticism in modern Hindi literature. Born in 1900 in the lush Kumaon hills of Uttarakhand, he drew his earliest and most profound inspiration from the pristine beauty of the Himalayas. He became one of the four foundational pillars of Chhayavaad, the Hindi neo romantic movement. However, his literary journey did not stagnate in romantic nature worship. Over a career spanning more than five decades, his poetry evolved through distinct phases, absorbing progressive ideologies and eventually culminating in the deep philosophical spiritualism of Sri Aurobindo. Works like Pallav showcased his unmatched ability to weave delicate, musical imagery, while his later masterpiece Chidambara earned him the Jnanpith Award in 1968, the very first time this prestigious honor was given to a Hindi writer. Pant was also recognized with the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Padma Bhushan. He passed away in 1977, leaving behind a poetic vocabulary that taught the Hindi language how to capture the exact softness of falling dew and the quiet grandeur of the mountains.
