पंडित शिवकुमार

Pandit Shivkumar was a lyricist credited on Hindi mythological films of the early 1940s. For Bhakta Kabir (1942), scored by music director Himanshu Dutta, this lyricist wrote devotional songs including "Bhaj Mann Ram Rahima," "Dulhin Gavahu Mangal Char," and "Jaise Taruvar Beej Me," with several songs on the soundtrack jointly credited to the medieval saint-poet Kabir alongside Pandit Shivkumar.

Pandit Shivkumar also wrote lyrics for Maharathi Karna (1944), composed by Datta Korgaonkar, including the songs "Jag Me Jhuti Maya Re" and "Jago Kishan Murari Girdhari."

This lyricist is a distinct person from the santoor player and film composer Pandit Shivkumar Sharma (1938-2022): Bhakta Kabir's 1942 release predates Shivkumar Sharma's birth, confirming the two are not the same individual despite occasional misattribution in some song databases. No verified birth year, death year, or birthplace has survived in accessible public records for the 1940s lyricist Pandit Shivkumar.
