सह जाओ आघात प्राण, नीरव सह जाओ इसी तरह पाषाण अद्रि से गिरा करेंगे कोमल-कोमल जीव सर्वदा घिरा करेंगे कुचल जाएंगे और जाएंगे। मत रह जाओ आश्रय सुख में लीन। उठो। उठ कर कह जाओ प्राणों के संदेश, नहीं तो फिरा करेंगे अन्य प्राण उद्विग्न, विपज्जल तिरा करेंगे एकाकी। असहाय अश्रु में मत बह जाओ।
यह अनंत आकाश तुम्हे यदि कण जानेगा तो अपना आसन्य तुम्हे कितने दिन देगा यह वसुधा भी खिन्न दिखेगी, क्षण जानेगा कोई नि:स्वक प्राण, तेज के कण गिन देगा गणकों का संदोह, देह व्रण जानेगा और शून्य प्रासाद बनाएगा चिन देगा

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.
