Har Har Mahadev 🔱

[Shiv Mishra @shivkmishr]

मेरा अनुमान है कि डॉक्टर कुमार विश्वास के शेरवानी पर माँ सरस्वती बैठा दी गई हैं। इसे देखकर एक कविता याद आ गई जिसमें आज का कवि गोस्वामी तुलसीदास से कहता है;

तुम थे राजतंत्र के पोषक,
हम पक्के समाजवादी हैं,
तुम्हें भाँग तक के लाले थे,
हम तो बोतल के आदी हैं,
तुम थे सरस्वती के सेवक,
हम हैं सरस्वती के पोते,
तुलसी अगर आज तुम होते,
देख हमारी काव्य साधना,
बाबा तुम सिर धुन कर रोते
तुलसी अगर आज तुम होते!

तुमने इतना वर्क किया पर;
बोलो कितना मनी कमाया
अपनी प्रियरत्ना का किसी
बैंक में खाता भी खुलवाया
हमने कवि सम्मेलन से
कोठी बनवा ली क्या कहने हैं
और हमारी रत्नावलि भी
सोने की तगड़ी पहने है
हम तो मोती बीन रहे
सागर में लगा लगाकर गोते
तुलसी अगर आज तुम होते......

(कविता शायद डंडा लखनवी की है)
