Sahana-devi in her memoire ‘Smritir Kheya’ has written –

… In this period a few people had criticized his songs citing mediocrity in melodies. He would never hit-back, silently absorb those punches instead. It must have been against his unmatched modesty. His voice still seems to ring within my ears what he had once said to me – ‘Look, it is not fair to draw comparison between a lotus and a jasmine. They are totally different. One is large and the other tiny. Jasmine may flourish with its own unrivaled beauty and intimate aroma despite not possessing qualities of the big lotus. My songs are like jasmine. It is not possible to critically analyse the extent of its beauty by pulling apart or dissection regardless of whether it is a jasmine or a lotus. This beauty is accomplished by a distinctive perception, a delicate touch on the strings of consciousness. …

In this period he had written this song –

‘Gaan aamar jaay bhese jaay …’

Transliteration in English

Gaan aamar    jaay bhese jaay -
Chaas ne phire,    de taare biday.
Se je    dokhinohaaway mukulo jhara,    dhular aanchol helay bhara,
Se je    shishirphotar maala gnaatha boner anginay.
Knaadon-haasir aalochaaya saara alas bela -
Megher gaaye ranger maaya, khelar pare khela.
Bhule-jaawar bojhai bhori    gelo chole katoi tori -
Ujaan beye phere jodi ke roy se aashay.
