Amita Sen, daughter of Khitimohan Sen, who was also a student of Shantiniketan at its early stage, writes in ‘Nriya-rachanay Rabindranath’, an essay published in Sharadiya Jugantar –

… That year we all had a dance session after the Sharodatsava on the song ‘Aaj Sabar Range Rang Mishate Hobe …’. Rabindranath in his baul style and we danced spinning around with brisk stepping and vails flung high up, we sang –

Ogo aamar priyo

Tomar rongin uttoriyo

Poro poro poro tobe

Rong mishate hobe …

Aban, Gagan, Samar along with everyone joined the dance party. Din-da danced snapping his fingers on both hands and his feet stepping rhythmically. Along with us danced Mr.Elmherst and Mr.Benowa. What an exhuberance. If anyone had fallen behind Rabindranath would help him or her to take a better position in the front. The dance was at its climax when Rabindranath took the center of the stage bowing with folded hands and the curtains closed from either side. We too stopped dancing and positioned ourselves beside Rabindranath with folded hands. It was a beautiful scene when the curtains were drawn.

This beautiful bowing gesture of Rabindranath was lost forever, and could not be preserved. …

Most probably this was an incedent of 1922 (1329B) when Sharodotsava was staged for two consecutive days, Alfred theatre on the first day and Madan theatre on the following day. Rabindranath had enacted the role of a Sannyasi, Dinendranath the grandfather, Gaganendranth the King and Samarendranath had the role of the Minister. On the second day Dinendranath had to quit following his father’s death and rushed to Shantiniketan. Abanindranath had to take up the role of Grandfather within a few hours. Amita Sen was only ten years old.

Transliteration in English

Aaj sabar range rang mashate habe.
Ogo aamar priyo,    tomar    rongin uttoriyo
Paro paro paro tabe.
Megh range range bona,    aaj robir range sona,
Aaj aalor range je baajlo paakhir rabe.
Aaj rang-saagore tuphan otthe mete.
Jakhon taari haawa laage    takhon ranger matan jaage
Knaacha sobuj dhaaner khete.
Sei raater swapon bhaanga   aamar    hriday hok na raanga
Tomar rangeri gourabe.
