मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब की बनारस-यात्रा मशहूर है। उन्होंने फ़ारसी में, जो उनकी प्रिय काव्यभाषा थी, एक मसनवी ‘चिराग़-ए-दैर' नाम से लिखी थी। यों तो बनारस सदियों से एक पुण्य-नगरी है और उसकी स्तुति में बहुत कुछ इस दौरान लिखा गया है। ग़ालिब की मसनवी उस परम्परा में होते हुए भी अनोखी है जो एक महान कवि की एक महान तीर्थ की यात्रा को सच्चे और सशक्त काव्य में रूपायित करती है। एक ऐसे समय में जब हिन्दू और इस्लाम धर्मों के बीच दूरी बढ़ाने की अनेक प्रबल और निर्लज्ज दुश्चेष्टाएँ हो रही हैं, इस मसनवी का हिन्दी अनुवाद एक तरह की याददहानी का काम करता है कि यह दूरी कितनी बहुत पहले पट चुकी थी।

मिर्ज़ा असद-उल्लाह ख़ाँ ग़ालिब का नाम भारत ही नहीं, बल्कि विश्व के महान कवियों में शामिल है!

मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब ने 1857 के आन्दोलन के सम्बन्ध में अपनी जो रूदाद लिखी है, उससे उनकी राजनीतिक विचारधारा और भारत में अंग्रेज़ी राज के सम्बन्ध में उनके दृष्टिकोण को समझने में काफ़ी मदद मिल सकती है! अपनी यह रूदाद उन्होंने लगभग डायरी की शक्ल में प्रस्तुत की है। और फ़ारसी भाषा में लिखी गई इस छोटी-सी पुस्तिका का नाम है—‘दस्तंबू’। फ़ारसी भाषा में 'दस्तंबू' शब्द का अर्थ है पुष्पगुच्छ, अर्थात् बुके (Bouquet)।

अपनी इस छोटी-सी किताब 'दस्तंबू' में ग़ालिब ने 11 मई, 1857 से 31 जुलाई, 1857 तक की हलचलों का कवित्वमय वर्णन किया है।

'दस्तंबू' में ऐसे अनेक चित्र हैं जो अनायास ही पाठक के मर्म को छू लेते हैं। किताब के बीच-बीच में उन्होंने जो कविताई की है, उसके अतिरिक्त गद्य में भी कविता का पूरा स्वाद महसूस होता है। जगह-जगह बेबसी और अन्तर्द्वन्द्व की अनोखी अभिव्यक्तियाँ भरी हुई हैं।

इस तरह 'दस्तंबू' में न केवल 1857 की हलचलों का वर्णन है, बल्कि ग़ालिब के निजी जीवन की वेदना भी भरी हुई है।

‘दस्तंबू’ के प्रकाशन को लेकर ग़ालिब ने अनेक लम्बे-लम्बे पत्र मुंशी हरगोपाल ‘तफ़्त:’ को लिखे हैं। अध्येताओं की सुविधा के लिए सारे पत्र पुस्तक के अन्त में दिए गए हैं।

भारत की पहली जनक्रान्ति, उससे उत्पन्न परिस्थितियाँ और ग़ालिब की मनोवेदना को समझने के लिए ‘दस्तंबू’ एक ज़रूरी किताब है। इसे पढ़ने का मतलब है सन् 1857 को अपनी आँखों से देखना और अपने लोकप्रिय शाइर की संवेदनाओं से साक्षात्कार करना।

The poems of Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" represent innate, passionate ramifications and poetic mystification for readers. While they may include hymns and religious instructions, what stands out is the sentimental piety in the poems offered within this collection. As a poet, Nishank surveys possibilities, comparing them to actualities, facts, theories, alternatives, and ideals, weighing them together. Thus, his work is both insightful and foresightful, providing a sense of life’s worth. Remarkably, these poems are not complex; they are simple and pliable. The doctrines and practices they endorse are not new or recent but align with established norms. The poems that emerge from darkness invigorate the spirit, making our hearts dance and enveloping us in a mystical softness, enchanting enough to soothe distressed feelings while instilling a sense of truth, clarity, and refinement. Nishank conjures images of everyday, affable life, depicting socially intellectual and passionate men who dance, croon, and fall yet rise again—shortly devastated but soon resilient. His poems are both popular and distinctly contemplative. Hidden behind his voice lies every man; if you wish to understand his character, let the doors of the heart open and allow them to speak. *** The ardor for humankind may pulse in every throb of my heart; let there be a beautiful person within me. My only desire in this life is to die for my country, with my life as an emblem for humanity. *** Like worms clothing the wheat, jealousy, like termites, hollow out the preposterous. *** To erase darkness, those who burn like torches do so even in adverse torrents; they never extinguish. *** Happiness resides in the present, not in the future; it rests in the depths of the mind. —From this collection.

Dear reader, I wrote this book for the ones who feel everything too deeply. The rare souls who still listen to their hearts and believe in love. The ones who don’t hurt others just because they’re in pain. The ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves and carry kindness within. The ones who overthink, over-invest in people and over-love, always. This book is an ocean full of feelings, so if at any point, you feel like you’re drowning, take a moment to remind yourself that it’s a privilege to feel emotions as intensely as you do. Some people are so disconnected from their hearts that they don’t allow themselves to feel anything at all. That being said, I wish you a happy reading. This book will make you cry. Love, Rithvik

Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank", like all romantic poets, is generally a poet who is strong-willed and intelligent and possesses an unusually subtle mind. While going through his poetry and nature poetry, we see nature sympathetically with unusual unreputable emotional responses. Moreover, it stands in sharp contrast to rationalistic moods. Nishank is fond of personifying nature and is desirous of associating with the beauteous forms of the world that coexist with the laws and order of the universe. When Nishank fuses scientific and religious notions, he proposes a metaphysical idea adapted to the cosmos' natural design. Hence, through this choicest collection of his poems, Nishank agrees with the universal phenomenon that nature provides an influence which spontaneously refines and purifies the soul of the human generation. A "must-read" collection of representative poems of Shri Nishank.
