Arun Tiwari

Arun Tiwari is a celebrated Nepali lyricist best known for penning timeless and emotionally charged songs that have touched millions. His lyrics—rich in human psychology, deep emotion, and poetic insight—reflect the bittersweet truths of life, love, and solitude. A prime example is his iconic song, "Janminda Eklai, Marda Ni Eklai", sung by Karna Das. The song became a cultural phenomenon and a defining moment in both their careers. Early Life & Inspiration Born on September 21 in Kathmandu, Arun was raised by his late parents Sudhanidhi Tiwari and Lalita Tiwari. From a young age, he was drawn to literature and poetry. He began writing poems during his school years at Shaheed Smarak and Bijaya Smarak schools. Inspired by his uncle, the eminent poet Bhimnidhi Tiwari, Arun’s talent blossomed as he presented his work at various school and national events, often rewarded with notebooks and pens—a testament to his early recognition. Academic Journey Arun completed his higher education at Tri-Chandra Campus, later earning a degree in History from Tribhuvan University. Despite his academic path, it was poetry and songwriting that truly defined his life's purpose. Musical Career & Milestones His songwriting journey began in earnest in 2049 B.S. (1992 A.D.) with the song "Sapana Hainan Mera Najarma" during his college years. Encouraged by friends, he approached composer Tika Bhandari, and the song was later recorded at Music Nepal's Kalikasthan studio by singer Nagendra Shrestha, with a modest budget of NPR 4,000. However, it was his 2058 B.S. song "Janminda Eklai", written in just three minutes, that catapulted him to national fame. In 2059 B.S., Ranjana Cassette Center paid NPR 30,000 for the lyrics—an unprecedented amount at the time for a single song’s words, marking a milestone for lyricists in Nepal. Arun has since written over 1,000 songs, with more than 400 composed and recorded. His work spans themes of heartbreak, romance, reflection, and societal truths. Published Works Albums: Sawan (2054 B.S.) Maya Sabailai (2056 B.S.) Bachnuko Artha (2057 B.S.) Effects (2059 B.S.) Swikaarokti (2061 B.S.) Best of Arun (2065 B.S.) Books: Eklai Eklai (2063 B.S.) Nadhkine Ishwor (2064 B.S.) Selected Poems of Arun (2066 B.S.) Influences & Personal Touches Arun draws inspiration from legendary figures such as Gopal Yonzon, Prakash Sayami, Karna Das, and Gulzar. He shares a fond memory of Prakash Sayami, who once gifted him a wrapped book—“Mera Kuch Saaman” by Gulzar—saying, “You have the flavor of Gulzar. This book is for you.” Arun still treasures that book as a symbol of mentorship and recognition. Legacy Arun Tiwari’s journey from a school poet to one of Nepal’s most respected lyricists is a testament to passion, perseverance, and artistic integrity. Through his heartfelt lyrics and poetic soul, he continues to inspire a new generation of artists and music lovers alike.
