Yeh kaun chitrakar hai

Hari hari vasundhara pe neela neela yeh gagan
Neela neela yeh gagan
Hari hari vasundhara pe neela neela yeh gagan
Neela neela yeh gagan
Ke jispe baadlo ki paalki uda raha pawan
Dishaye dekho rangbhari
Dishaye dekho rangbhari chamak rahi umang bhari
Yeh kisne phool phool pe
Yeh kisne phool phool pe kiya singar hai
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai, yeh kaun chitrakar
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai, yeh kaun chitrakar

Tapasviyon si hai atal yeh parvaton ki chotiyan
Yeh sarp si ghumerdar gherdar ghaatiyan
Dhwaja se yeh khade huye
Dhwaja se yeh khade huye hai vriksh devdaar ke
Galeeche yeh gulab ke, bageeche yeh bahar ke
Yeh kis kavi ki kalpana
Yeh kis kavi ki kalpana ka chamatkar hai
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai, yeh kaun chitrakar
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai, yeh kaun chitrakar

Kudrat ki is pavitrata ko tum nihaar lo
Ahahahaha...
Iske gunon ko apne man mein tum utaar lo
Ahahahaha...
Chamka lo aaj lalima
Chamka lo aaj lalima apne lalat ki
Kan kan se jhaankti tumhe chabi virat ki
Apni toh aankh ek hai
Apni toh aankh ek hai, uski hazaar hai
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai, yeh kaun chitrakar
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai, yeh kaun chitrakar
Yeh kaun chitrakar hai, yeh kaun chitrakar

Movie: Boond Jo Ban Gayee Moti (1967)
Director: V Shantaram
Singer: Mukesh
Lyricist: Bharat Vyas
Music Composer: Satish Bhatia

I like this song because of many reasons: It talks of the creator. It uses lovely Hindi words. It is quite simple. Bharat Vyas is awestruck at the splendour of nature and wants to know who painted the earth, skies, mountains, trees, and flowers. His descriptions of nature are wonderful.

 

The philosophy/life lesson/comment on life that I take away from this is that regardless of whether you believe in God or not, you should appreciate nature and cherish its wonders—for yourselves and for future generations. ~ S
