superb! how nice!

here this sentence of exclamation is uttered to encourage the poet but it can be used to praise any kind of things. it is a point to remember that "wah wah!" is exclusively used in SHAYARI.we can translate it by "wow" but this western style cannot match in a shayari.it can be left untouched.

what a saying !

The question is related with 'shayari'. The phrase is generally used in 'kavi sammelan' or 'mushayaras'. The best possible direct transalation is: wow! what a saying.
