कहेन किहेन जेस तुलसी तेस केसे अब होये। कविता केतना जने किहेन हैं आगेउ करिहैं; अपनी अपनी बिधि से ई भवसागर तरिहैं, हमहूँ तौ अब तक एनहीं ओनहीं कै ढोये; नाइ सोक सरका तब फरके होइ के रोये। जे अपनइ बूड़त आ ओसे भला उबरिहैं कैसे बूड़इवाले सँग–सँग जरिहैं मरिहैं जे, ओनहीं जौं हाथ लगावइँ तउ सब होये। तुलसी अपुनाँ उबरेन औ आन कँ उबारेन। जने–जने कइ नारी अपने हाथेन टोयेन; सबकइ एक दवाई राम नाम मँ राखेन; काम क्रोध पन कइ तमाम खटराग नेवारेन; जवन जहाँ कालिमा रही ओकाँ खुब धोयेन। कुलि आगे उतिरान जहाँ तेतना ओइ भाखेन।

Trilochan
1917 · 2007
Trilochan Shastri, born Vasudev Singh in 1917, was an indispensable pillar of the progressive movement in modern Hindi poetry. While many of his contemporaries looked to the cities for inspiration, Trilochan kept his literary gaze firmly fixed on the rural heartland. He wrote with the sweat, dust, and quiet resilience of agrarian India, stripping his verse of artificial romanticism to reveal the stark truths of poverty and human endurance. He also accomplished a rare structural feat by successfully adapting the English sonnet form to the rhythms of the Hindi language. His celebrated collection Tap Ke Taaye Hue Din earned him the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1982. Passing away in 2007, Trilochan left behind a literary legacy that proves true poetic brilliance does not require elite vocabulary. He remains the definitive voice of the Indian soil, writing poems that feel as enduring and grounded as the earth itself.
Paired Painting
Lord Vishnu Seated on a Lotus
This exquisite rendering captures the eternal essence of Lord Vishnu, the supreme preserver of the cosmic order. The artist depicts the divinity in his four-armed form, a manifestation of absolute grace and cosmic responsibility. His skin, cool like the monsoon clouds, provides a striking contrast to the vibrant orange of his dhoti and the soft pink petals of the lotus throne. He carries his sacred attributes, the Sudarshana Chakra, the gada, and the shankha, symbols of his protection over the universe. It is a work that transcends mere pigment, serving as a meditative anchor for the devotee, reminding us that even in the chaotic cycle of existence, divine stability remains ever present.
