Hey Sharde Maa, Hey Sharde maa, Aghyanta se hume taar de maa x2

Tu swar ki devi, ye sangit tujhse, Har shabd tera, har geet tujhse x2

Hum hai akele, hum hai adhure, Teri sharan mei hume pyaar de maa

Hey Sharde maa, Hey Sharde maa, Aghyanta se hume taar de maa

Muniyo ne samjhi, guniyo ne jaani, Vedo ki bhashaa, puraano ki vaani x2

Hum bhi toh samjhe, hum bhi toh jaane, Vidya ka humko adhikaar de maa

Hey Sharde maa, Hey Sharde maa, Aghyanta se hume taar de maa

Tu swhet varni kamal pe viraaje, Haantho mei veena mukut sir pe saaje x2

Mann se mitado gum ke andhere, Ujaalo ka humko sansaar de maa

Hey Sharde maa, Hey Sharde maa, Aghyanta se hume taar de maa....

DID YOU KNOW

1. Bhajan belongs to a genre of music and arts that developed with the Bhakti
movement.
2. It is found in the various traditions of Hinduism but particularly in Vaishnavism..
3. Ideas from scriptures, legendary epics, the teachings of saints and loving devotion to
a deity are the typical subjects of bhajans.
4. In Hinduism, Bhajan and its Bhakti analog Kirtan, have roots in the ancient metric and
musical traditions of the Vedic era, particularly the Samaveda. The
Samaveda samhita is not meant to be read as a text, it is like a musical score sheet
that must be heard.
5. A Kirtan is a call-and-response style song or chant, set to music, wherein multiple
singers recite or describe a legend, or express loving devotion to a deity, or discuss
spiritual ideas.
6. A Bhajan is more free in form, and can be singular melody that is performed by a
single singer with or without one and more musical instruments. Kirtan, in contrast,
differs in being a more structured team performance, typically with a call and
response musical structure, similar to an intimate conversation or gentle sharing of
ideas, and it includes two or more musical instruments, the prosody principles of the
Vedic era.
