Khalil Gibran is truly one of the greatest poets to have ever lived, his wording and cadence, the meaning of every sentence he wrote, his understanding of humanity and life itself, truly a master of his craft, a prophet through and through.
@@Jannat-f1q Perhaps that is what is so powerful about this reading. You have to sit up and listen and not be distracted. You would feel uncomfortable if you did not give it your full attention. All due respect, and just an opinion here. If it were a woman's voice, a good strong one, would that make a difference?
"Defeat, my defeat. My solitude and my aloneness.. My self-knowledge and defiance.. My shining sword and shield.. My bold companion.. My deathless courage.. " Great motivational lines providing refreshing perspective n insight.Defeat is the springboard for future endeavours..it helps in unlocking one's potential n paving way for success despite odds.. And OMG, such a powerful voice!!
I feel the savage ache of defeat acutely in these words. Thank God for those who go before us and sprinkle our paths with the flowers of wisdom they learned behind them...
I have known this poem for nearly 2 years, and is still powerful everytime I listen to it. On days that I feel like fate has it out for me, and people are so cruel I listen to this. In my failures and misfortunes I listen to this. And when the shallow comforting of people seem to me like noise, I listen to this. Thank you sir for being here, for being the voice that can reach my freezing heart.
Vivek Amar: This poem is all about encountering such experiences. Yours is too small an occurrence in deceit or whatever you would call it, to get accommodated in the expanse of these lines. Try to read or watch it at least 10 times and you would feel satisfied and shall overcome your gloomy feelings. Best of luck and prayers.
Vivek Amar: Please listen to the song from an old movie "Patita" having lyrics "hain sabse madhur woh geet jinhen, hum dard ke sur mein gaatey hain..." written by late Shailendra ji. Perhaps it might console you a tad.
This is wondrous. There is no shame in defeat. It is where wisdom and humility resides if you look closely within it enough. We learn from defeat so embrace it and don't let go. Some may scorn your defeat and some may even shun you and yet this judgmental ego may be their defeat. But it is a defeat they may not see and learn from because that's the consequence of ego, and ego is the opposite of humility. Our defeats are our life lessons, and our failures would only be in not learning from them.
I am finding solace in listening to this somehow. To embrace my humbled circumstance and yet... feel ennobled by the stripped-down immediacy of my experience, the doggedness of my soul to endure the burning of its own flame, the pluripotency of unencumbered being.
I can listen to gibran's poetry for my entire life without getting tired. He was indeed a man with great perspectives. He had an ability to express feelingz through word in a best way possible. His poetry is my comfort.❤️✨🖤

What I love about him is that he not only is a great Arabic poet, but a great American poet at the same time. He somehow picked up on the faint echoes of Semitic poetics in American culture which echoed through the centuries through the King James Bible, Milton, and revived that strain, made it sing out strong in a shockingly modern and fresh way. A meeting of two worlds.

I have to get more of this ,so tomorrow I'm getting "The Prophet " at my local book store, what a better way to support all beauties of this world,and make sure they always stay with us for our kids and new generations that will come after we're long gone.
Sitting all alone,, feeling alone that the days forward seems darker by the day yet i laugh out loud in cue and nod in agreement but this gives me hope to endure..laugh more feel more and shut that dark quiet in me.
My childhood love. His poetry on children totally freed me from limiting thoughts of parents- children relationship. It was 1 page but oh so powerful. I recommend him around.
@Shazia Hatoon Hey Love, It's from the book, the Prophet .. Copy pasted.. "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." .... You can also google it.
Yes! The Prophet is an absolutely faith, hope and love restoring book. I am truly fascinated by this amazing man's work. Hearing this poem makes me feel so great. God bless you.
" Kahlil Gibran… the very name brings so much ecstasy and joy that it is impossible to think of another name comparable to him. Just hearing the name, bells start ringing in the heart which do not belong to this world. Kahlil Gibran is pure music, a mystery such that only poetry can sometimes grasp it, but only sometimes. You have chosen a man who is the most beloved of this beautiful earth. Centuries have passed; there have been great men but Kahlil Gibran is a category in himself. I cannot conceive that even in the future, there is a possibility of another man of such deep insight into the human heart, into the unknown that surrounds us. A poet is accidentally mystic. He has done something impossible. He has been able to bring at least a few fragments of the unknown into human language. He has raised human language and human consciousness as no other man has ever done. Through Kahlil Gibran, it seems all the mystics, all the poets, all creative souls have joined hands and poured themselves. Although he has been immensely successful in reaching people, still he feels it is not the whole truth, but just a glimpse. But to see the glimpse of truth is a beginning of a pilgrimage that leads you to the ultimate, to the absolute, to the universal. Another beautiful man, Claude Bragdon has said about Kahlil Gibran, a few beautiful words. He says, “His power came from some great reservoir of spiritual life, else it could not have been so universal and so potent. But the majesty and beauty of the language with which he clothed it were all his own.” I have always loved this statement of Bragdon, even though not agreeing with it. One need not agree with a beautiful flower; one need not agree with the sky full of stars - but one can still appreciate. I make a clear-cut distinction between agreement and appreciation - and a man is civilized if he can make the distinction. If he cannot make the distinction, he’s still living in a primitive, uncivilized state of consciousness. I agree in a sense, because whatever Bragdon is saying is beautiful; hence, my appreciation. But I cannot agree because whatever he is saying is simply guesswork. It is not his own experience. Have you noted? - he says, “His power came from some great reservoir of spirituality, of spiritual life, else it could not have been so universal and so potent.” It is rational, logical, but it has no roots in experience. He feels that something beyond the grasp of mind has come through Kahlil Gibran but he is not certain. And he cannot be certain, because it is not his experience. He is immensely impressed by the beautiful language; each word is a poetry unto itself. But he himself is unaware of that great reservoir of spirituality. He himself has not tasted it. He has loved Kahlil Gibran but he has not lived him. With me, the situation is totally different. Hence, there are a few things I would like to say to you before I make my commentaries on the statements of Kahlil Gibran. First, he is certainly a great poet, perhaps the greatest that has ever been born on the earth, but he is not a mystic; and there is a tremendous difference between a poet and a mystic. The poet, once in a while, suddenly finds himself in the same space as the mystic. In those rare moments, roses shower over him. On those rare occasions, he is almost a Gautam Buddha - but remember, I’m saying almost. These rare moments come and go. He’s not the master of those rare moments. They come like the breeze and the fragrance and by the time you have become aware - they are gone. A poet’s genius is that he catches those moments in words. Those moments come into your life too. They are free gifts of existence - or in other words, glimpses to provoke in you a search, to come to a moment when this space will become your very life, your blood, your bones, your marrow. You will breathe it, your heart will beat it. You will never be able to lose it, even if you want to. The poet is for moments a mystic, and the mystic is a poet forever."
الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، عزلتي و وحدتي . أنت أغلى عندي من ألف انتصار ، وأحلى في قلبي من كل امجاد العالم . الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، معرفتي و تحدياتي ، من خلالك أعرف أنني ما زلت صغيراً وخاطف الحركة وأن لا اكون محاصرا بالذبول. وفيك وجدت الوحدة وفرحة أن تكون هارب و منبوذاََ الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، سيفي ودرعي اللامع ، لقد قرأت في عينيك أن تكون عظيما هو أن تستعبد ، وأن تكون مفهوما ، يجب أن يتم تسويتك ، ، وأن تدرك الأمر هو ان تُملئ به مثل سقوط الثمار و استهلاكها . الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، رفيقي الجريء ، عليك ان تسمع أغانيي وصرخاتي و صمتي ، ولا شيء غير أن تتحدث معي عن ضرب الأجنحة ، وهيجان البحار ، ومن الجبال التي تحترق في الليل ، وأنت وحدك ستتسلق روحي الحادة والصخرية. الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، شجاعتي الخالدة ، سنضحك أنا وأنت و العاصفة ، ومعاً سنحفر قبور لكل ما يموت فينا ، وسنقف في الشمس بإرادتنا ، وسنكون خطرين
Defeat, what a powerful life poetry by Khalil Gibran. Truly, meaningful, powerful, and heart touching phrases, My Defeat.👍👍👍 A very powerfully recited.👍👍👍
“To be enthroned is to be enslaved To be understood is to be levelled down To be grasped is but to reach one’s fullness And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed”🙌🏾 I can’t even begin to explain how much these lines alone have altered my perception, and the way I manoeuvre through this life.
Beautiful! I used to have all of his books in my library and read regularly. His accompanying artwork was great as well, inspired by the spirit. I always hoped (and I'm not alone on this) that he would never be forgotten, so thank you!
Prohry, mé prohry má samoto a má odtažitosti jste mi dražší než tisíce úspěchů a sladší mému srdci než všechna sláva světa. Prohry, mé prohry mé sebepoznání a můj vzdore díky vám vím, že jsem stále mlád v rychlém běhu času né uvězněn vadnoucími vavříny ve vás jsem našel svou jedinečnost a potěšení z toho být stranou a odsuzován. Prohry, mé prohry můj blištivý meči a štíte ve tvých očích jsem četl že být korunován znamená být uvězněn že být pochopen znamená být shozen že porozumět tomu všemu znamená žít naplno a pak jako zralé ovoce padnout a být pohlcen. Prohry, mé prohry můj smělý příteli slyšíš když zpívám, pláču nebo jsem mlčky nikdo jiný než ty ke mně nedokáže promluvit třepotáním křídel šuměním moře horami plápolajícími nocí ty sámotný dokážeš zdolat mou bouřlivou a neoblomnou duši. Prohry, mé prohry má nezlomná odvaho společně se budeme smát v bouři společně zapomeneme na ty kteří v nás zemřeli společně budeme stát odhodláni v záři slunce a budeme nebezpeční, nenecháme se unášet proudem. ------------------------------------------------------------- V životě nás obklopuje příliš mnoho průměrných věcí.

I love this poem. It's exactly what I need right now. I won't let anybody own my defeat. Only me, and me alone, can guide me to the light. Only my heart knows me.
Propriety demands that one should better ascertain one's own status first, prior to raising an accusing finger on others ! Propriety further demands that one should also try to inculcate the habit of seeing goodness in others, as well ; instead of finding fault on every available opportunity, on the slightest of pretext, and at the drop of a hat ! It raises one's mental/spiritual level by several notches up !
I am new listening his books and makes me cry and happiness in some of his books. A good soul who came into the world to let people see things as they are and to guide them by compassion, faith, hope, respect and love.
I will be listening this 1000 more time and yet there will be trust to soak myself in this glorious,magnificent poetry. Every time it opens new layer every time I listen like,rumi said. And Shane Morris, I have fall in love with your lion's alike voice.
Gibran has a way with words that even famous and lauded authors seldom achieve. I remember to this day where I was the first time I read the Prophet... when I read of loving apart and how the oak and cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.. This poem evokes the same chills of awakening to a new perspective I had then. Thank you for this video.

His poetry on children totally freed me from limiting thoughts of parents- children relationship.
It was 1 page but oh so powerful.
I recommend him around.
@Shazia Hatoon in his book the prophet.
@Shazia Hatoon
Hey Love,
It's from the book, the Prophet ..
Copy pasted..
"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable."

That's why when I clicked on this and the poem started, I knew.
Yes! The Prophet is an absolutely faith, hope and love restoring book. I am truly fascinated by this amazing man's work. Hearing this poem makes me feel so great. God bless you.
" Kahlil Gibran… the very name brings so much ecstasy and joy that it is impossible to think of another name comparable to him. Just hearing the name, bells start ringing in the heart which do not belong to this world. Kahlil Gibran is pure music, a mystery such that only poetry can sometimes grasp it, but only sometimes.
You have chosen a man who is the most beloved of this beautiful earth. Centuries have passed; there have been great men but Kahlil Gibran is a category in himself. I cannot conceive that even in the future, there is a possibility of another man of such deep insight into the human heart, into the unknown that surrounds us.
A poet is
accidentally
mystic.
He has done something impossible. He has been able to bring at least a few fragments of the unknown into human language. He has raised human language and human consciousness as no other man has ever done. Through Kahlil Gibran, it seems all the mystics, all the poets, all creative souls have joined hands and poured themselves.
Although he has been immensely successful in reaching people, still he feels it is not the whole truth, but just a glimpse. But to see the glimpse of truth is a beginning of a pilgrimage that leads you to the ultimate, to the absolute, to the universal.
Another beautiful man, Claude Bragdon has said about Kahlil Gibran, a few beautiful words. He says, “His power came from some great reservoir of spiritual life, else it could not have been so universal and so potent. But the majesty and beauty of the language with which he clothed it were all his own.”
I have always loved this statement of Bragdon, even though not agreeing with it.
One need not agree with a beautiful flower; one need not agree with the sky full of stars - but one can still appreciate. I make a clear-cut distinction between agreement and appreciation - and a man is civilized if he can make the distinction. If he cannot make the distinction, he’s still living in a primitive, uncivilized state of consciousness.
I agree in a sense, because whatever Bragdon is saying is beautiful; hence, my appreciation. But I cannot agree because whatever he is saying is simply guesswork. It is not his own experience.
Have you noted? - he says, “His power came from some great reservoir of spirituality, of spiritual life, else it could not have been so universal and so potent.” It is rational, logical, but it has no roots in experience. He feels that something beyond the grasp of mind has come through Kahlil Gibran but he is not certain. And he cannot be certain, because it is not his experience. He is immensely impressed by the beautiful language; each word is a poetry unto itself. But he himself is unaware of that great reservoir of spirituality. He himself has not tasted it. He has loved Kahlil Gibran but he has not lived him.
With me, the situation is totally different. Hence, there are a few things I would like to say to you before I make my commentaries on the statements of Kahlil Gibran.
First, he is certainly a great poet, perhaps the greatest that has ever been born on the earth, but he is not a mystic; and there is a tremendous difference between a poet and a mystic. The poet, once in a while, suddenly finds himself in the same space as the mystic. In those rare moments, roses shower over him. On those rare occasions, he is almost a Gautam Buddha - but remember, I’m saying almost.
These rare moments come and go. He’s not the master of those rare moments. They come like the breeze and the fragrance and by the time you have become aware - they are gone.
A poet’s genius is that he catches those moments in words. Those moments come into your life too. They are free gifts of existence - or in other words, glimpses to provoke in you a search, to come to a moment when this space will become your very life, your blood, your bones, your marrow. You will breathe it, your heart will beat it. You will never be able to lose it, even if you want to.
The poet is for moments a mystic, and the mystic is a poet forever."
Literally just literally.... it gave strong goosebumps...
"Defeat, my defeat
My deathless courage..."
Happy to be the part of this legendary creature!
The most profoundly beautiful poem ever written
man I wish to meet this Shane Morris before the end of my lifetime!
الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، عزلتي و وحدتي . أنت أغلى عندي من ألف انتصار ، وأحلى في قلبي من كل امجاد العالم . الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، معرفتي و تحدياتي ، من خلالك أعرف أنني ما زلت صغيراً وخاطف الحركة وأن لا اكون محاصرا بالذبول. وفيك وجدت الوحدة وفرحة أن تكون هارب و منبوذاََ الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، سيفي ودرعي اللامع ، لقد قرأت في عينيك أن تكون عظيما هو أن تستعبد ، وأن تكون مفهوما ، يجب أن يتم تسويتك ، ، وأن تدرك الأمر هو ان تُملئ به مثل سقوط الثمار و استهلاكها . الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، رفيقي الجريء ، عليك ان تسمع أغانيي وصرخاتي و صمتي ، ولا شيء غير أن تتحدث معي عن ضرب الأجنحة ، وهيجان البحار ، ومن الجبال التي تحترق في الليل ، وأنت وحدك ستتسلق روحي الحادة والصخرية. الهزيمة ، هزيمتي ، شجاعتي الخالدة ، سنضحك أنا وأنت و العاصفة ، ومعاً سنحفر قبور لكل ما يموت فينا ، وسنقف في الشمس بإرادتنا ، وسنكون خطرين

Red Frost brings beauty and encouragement into the world. When my soul is thirsty, I listen and listen and listen to these poems. Thank you.
One of my favourite poems from my favourite book ever: Gibran's The Madman.
What a golden voice! It really gives meaning to this beautiful poem.
Not read this poem before, so glad to have done so now.
I have rarely been hit with words of such depth.
Crying
Love Kahlil Gibran. Such an exalted Soul!
Defeat, what a powerful life poetry by Khalil Gibran.
Truly, meaningful, powerful, and heart touching phrases, My Defeat.👍👍👍
A very powerfully recited.👍👍👍
whoever is voicing this has an epic voice, never have i heard someone with this voice.
The poem is pretty epic too.
These words fall on me perfectly today. The more I surrender, the freer I feel.
“To be enthroned is to be enslaved
To be understood is to be levelled down
To be grasped is but to reach one’s fullness
And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed”🙌🏾
I can’t even begin to explain how much these lines alone have altered my perception, and the way I manoeuvre through this life.
Tagore and gibran...the beat poet world has ever produced what an insight..Man
Victory is sweetest when you have known the bitterness of defeat.
Defeat,My Defeat..........
Really feel it in my heart.😔😔😔
But let us find strength in that too.
Gibran flips the script and channels Rumi in this beautifully read poem that embraces Defeat as a best companion
channels Rumi lol what a way to ruin smth so perfect
The beauty in truly accepting defeat
Writings of gibran shaped my mind and soul. Love and lots of heart for choosing one of his.
There will never be enough words to describe what this poem has done for me, and continues to do for me.
Awesomely inspiring... the person that knows only victory and success, knows absolutely nothing.
I have never been given more my defeat then anything else. Will and courage, this is a powerful thing.
Beautiful! I used to have all of his books in my library and read regularly. His accompanying artwork was great as well, inspired by the spirit. I always hoped (and I'm not alone on this) that he would never be forgotten, so thank you!
One of the most gravitating poem I've ever heard intertwined in such a modulated voice. I can't help myself from subscribing for more.
Everytime I hear this I feel like magic happens and get Goosebumps
Prohry, mé prohry
má samoto a má odtažitosti
jste mi dražší než tisíce úspěchů
a sladší mému srdci než všechna sláva světa.
Prohry, mé prohry
mé sebepoznání a můj vzdore
díky vám vím, že jsem stále mlád v rychlém běhu času
né uvězněn vadnoucími vavříny
ve vás jsem našel svou jedinečnost
a potěšení z toho být stranou a odsuzován.
Prohry, mé prohry
můj blištivý meči a štíte
ve tvých očích jsem četl
že být korunován znamená být uvězněn
že být pochopen znamená být shozen
že porozumět tomu všemu znamená žít naplno
a pak jako zralé ovoce padnout a být pohlcen.
Prohry, mé prohry
můj smělý příteli
slyšíš když zpívám, pláču nebo jsem mlčky
nikdo jiný než ty ke mně nedokáže promluvit třepotáním křídel
šuměním moře
horami plápolajícími nocí
ty sámotný dokážeš zdolat mou bouřlivou a neoblomnou duši.
Prohry, mé prohry
má nezlomná odvaho
společně se budeme smát v bouři
společně zapomeneme na ty kteří v nás zemřeli
společně budeme stát odhodláni v záři slunce
a budeme nebezpeční, nenecháme se unášet proudem.
-------------------------------------------------------------
V životě nás obklopuje příliš mnoho průměrných věcí. Láska by neměla být jednou z nich.
बहुत ही बेहतरीन कविता, बहुत कुछ यहाँ दी गई “डिफ़ीट” पोएम की तर्ज़ पर। वैसे इस कविता के शुरुआती शब्द के अनुवाद के लिए “नुक़सान” शब्द ज़्यादा सही रहेगा, बजाए “घाटा” शब्द के।
थैंक्यू गूगल, अनुवाद के लिए।
I love this poem. It's exactly what I need right now. I won't let anybody own my defeat. Only me, and me alone, can guide me to the light. Only my heart knows me.
❤❤❤
very good
I'd be delighted if I could give you a thought through my poetry. I'd appreciate your feedback
These poems reach a whole new level with the regal voice of this man!
Almost weeping whenever I hear this poetry!
Gibran was, and still is an underrated writer. Beautiful poem...and what a voice!
Gibran poetry is Another Kamus, Van Gogh, Motzart, Davinci, ,,,, brilliance shines when distancing madding crowds & masses
This is probably the best poem I've ever heard. Truly life-changing experience
"Success is not final ; failure is not fatal ! It's the courage to continue, that counts !"
That's what Sir Winston Churchill had said !
Propriety demands that one should better ascertain one's own status first, prior to raising an accusing finger on others !
Propriety further demands that one should also try to inculcate the habit of seeing goodness in others, as well ; instead of finding fault on every available opportunity, on the slightest of pretext, and at the drop of a hat ! It raises one's mental/spiritual level by several notches up !
I am new listening his books and makes me cry and happiness in some of his books.
A good soul who came into the world to let people see things as they are and to guide them by compassion, faith, hope, respect and love.
A billion likes! I truly envy the voice.
I will be listening this 1000 more time and yet there will be trust to soak myself in this glorious,magnificent poetry. Every time it opens new layer every time I listen like,rumi said.
And Shane Morris, I have fall in love with your lion's alike voice.
Absolutely stunning voice, and equally stunning voice, the voice of an old lion, growling inside the den, voice that reverberates to your heart..
Gibran has a way with words that even famous and lauded authors seldom achieve. I remember to this day where I was the first time I read the Prophet... when I read of loving apart and how the oak and cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.. This poem evokes the same chills of awakening to a new perspective I had then. Thank you for this video.
Your voice is going through my heart as if a soul travels through clouds reaching higher places. 💕
❤
I cry from my soul when this is read to me. Moving, is an understatement.
I've never felt so defeated like this today.. Everyone betrayed me..
And I found this vid in my recommendation.
Also myself Sam x

great piece!!!
"the most beautiful things, are those that madness prompts, and reason writes"
Listening to this poem after reading Gibran's ‘Broken Wings’ feels like I've been lifted up to another heights of Gibran’s lofty thoughts. He is a poet worthy of thousand admirations! His words are like first rays of sunlight giving fresh hope to every aspiring poet like me.
"Defeat",that brings me to your channel for enlightening the self.
Where there is defeat there was a battle. The reader of this poem knows how to impact with the intonation of his voice.
