Tansen, among Akbar’s Nine Gems,
He enriched the Indian music stem.
His music with magical topflight,
Of its own the lamps could light.
He was the crowning music laureate,
Music of his sort none could create.
Akbar said, ‘none could you surpass.’
Tansen said, ‘Yes, my Guru Haridas’.
He said, ‘he sings like a free bird,
He sings only when his soul spurred.
At his pleasure he sings his measures,
He sells them not to other’s pleasures.
In his songs Nature sings & glance,
He sings only when peacocks dance.
In groovy ambiance along the river,
Among the bird’s sharp shrill twitter.
Opus of the symphonies of soul,
Bliss of the existence he unrolled.’
a lovely poem which talks about the glorious history and the great musicians of India. Enjoyed Reading! Thanks Sir.
it was like sitting along with the free bird and listening to his songs..a lovely write up
These great men sing from soul, and worship the nature with their songs, and the skies would oblige with rain, stones would melt, and God's sway.....had known about Tansen but through this write i came to know Haridas.....a fitting tribute to the great vocalists India has ever known! ! ! ! Thank You Sharma Ji! ! !
