Lyrics of Kavita Naam Hai Gyan Ka - कविता नाम हैं ज्ञान का

kavita nam hai gyan ka ise
likhne wale gyani unka beta bane kavi
ye hai uski nadani dhor caharane
wale bhasah ke ras ko kya jane
aise kavi to kala akshar bhais
barabar maane aise kavi duboye lutiya
kavita likhne walo ki
aise kavi duboye lutiya

kavita likhne walo ki nai kalpana gai bhad me
dhum machi naksalo ki dhor chalane walo ki
gyan prabhu ki dain hai nahi kisi ki ye jahgir
jag ko budhi daine wala dekhe na
garib amir ramayan se badh kar acha
or nahi koi naik uske likhne
wale daku walmiki ko dekh
jat pat na puche koi kavita
likhne walo ki jat pat na puche koi kavita
likhne walo ki mehfil chod
bani ye dasi bojh uthane gwalo ki
kavita likhne walo ki

badha kavi hai kahi ka to ek
bat bata jagat me pehle pehail pehla
chand kisne likha sawal itna bada hai
jawab chota sa jagat vo chand hai
jagdish ne ise ikha banaya jisne ye
sansar uska rup hai kya kisi ne aaj
talak usko ankh se dekha
hawa nazar nahi aati hawa
ka rup hai jo kuch nazar me hai
parmatma ka rup to hai

hai muh chota or bat badi
zara jawab do hai din bada ya
rat badi bhla ye puchi
hai tumne kaha ki bat badi
kabhi ke din hai bade or kabhi
ki rat badi tumhari bat me
kavita ka ras nahi aya jawab
mane jo socha tha vo nahi aya
hai muh chota or bat badi
hai din garib ka dhanwan ki hai rat badi


lyrics of song Kavita Naam Hai Gyan Ka

Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Kavita Naam Hai Gyan Ka
A poem is wisdom's child, they say,
Born of the wise, the learned's sway.
But those who pen it, foolish play,
Like herdsmen lost, who pave the way
For language's nectar, taste unknown.
Such poets deem the words they've sown
As blackest ink to beasts are shown.
They drown the craft, the verse's art,
These scribblers tear the world apart.
They drown the craft.

New visions, once so bright and bold,
Are cast aside, the story told
Of rebels' rise, a herder's hold.
Knowledge is God's, a gift of grace,
No mortal's right, no time or space
Can claim its wealth, its holy place.
The giver sees no favored face,
No rich, no poor, in life's long race.
The Ramayana, a sacred rhyme,
Above all others, stands sublime.
Yet, its creator, a bandit's deed,
From him we learn, we plant the seed.
Cast off your caste, your lineage,
For poets' hearts, on life's stage.
Cast off your caste, your lineage,
And leave behind the gathering,
To serve as maids, the shepherd's hand,
For poets' art, across the land.

If you are wise, the answer tell,
Who penned the first, the primal spell?
A simple truth, the world's own sound,
By Jagdish penned, the world is bound.
He shaped the earth, its form to see,
Has anyone ever truly seen,
The form of air, unseen, between?
The form of air, unseen, between.
But what we see, the soul's domain,
The form of God, we hope to gain.

Small mouths speak vast, profound decree,
Tell me, which is greater, day or free?
You ask a question, strange and deep,
Whose words of meaning never sleep.
At times the day, at times the night,
The poet's words, they lack the light.
The answer I received, it does not fit,
The vision I pursued, it does not sit.
Small mouths speak vast, profound decree,
The poor man's day, the wealthy's night.

Two great singers - signing to fit the role of the actors - one who is a
stiff ignorant person who is asking the question - for whom Rafi is
singing, and Talat singing for a Guru who has to come across as a tender
compassionate person.

Shaukat Jamil on Monday, January 24, 2011
This song definitively demonstrates that Talat is more mellifluous than
Rafi when at his peak.In fact he is the best singer that we had so far
notwithstanding he is many light years behind the Queen.

AMAAN RAFI on Wednesday, July 13, 2011
I 100% AGREE WITH YOU multi78 , RAFI SAHAB WAS THE FATHER OF SINGERS TILL
NOW...NO COMPARISON OF RAFI SAHAB. BEJU BAWRA, DEEDAR, AAN , AND MANY
OTHER EXAMPLES PROVES IT...

multi78 on Thursday, June 09, 2011
Rafi had more command in high pitch than any other playback singer. There is no doubt about it.

Krishnaswamy Vijayakumar on Saturday, November 28, 2015
OUR TALAT IS GREATER THAN ALL IN THE MUSIC WORLD. NO DOUBT INDEED.
