According to the book ‘Kabya O Sur’ written by the legendary singer Kanika Bandyopadhyay the manuscript of this song carries a signature of Rabindranath which was ‘Dedicated to the marriage of Smt Renu with Sri Probhatchandra Gupta’. This information finds support in ‘Rabindra-jiboni’by Probhatkumar Mukhopadhyay. However, Shantidev Ghosh has another story in ‘Rabindra-sangeet’ –

... ‘Ketechhe ekela birohero bela...’ happens to be a song for duet dance of Arjun and Chitrangada in the dance-drama ‘Chitrangada’. This song had been composed with the rhythm of the song ‘Sedin dujone ...’ in the back of mind. A duet dance had been choreographed with the song ‘Sedi dujone’ before the creation of ‘Chitrangada’ and the dance appeared to be befitting. When it was proposed to keep the song in Chitrangada Gurudev came up with a new song ‘Ketechhe ekela ...’ with the rhythm pattern intact. ...

Transliteration in English

Ketechhe ekela birohero bela aakashokusumochayone.
Sob patho ese mile gelo sheshe tomaro dukhani nayone.
Dekhite dekhite nutano aaloke   ke dilo rochiya dhyanero puloke
Nutano bhubano nutano dyuloke moder milito nayone.
Bahiro-aakashe megh ghire aase, elo sab taara dhaakite.
Haarano se aalo aasano bichhalo  sudhu dujaner aankhite.
Bhaasahaara mamo bijano rodona   prokashero laagi korechhe saadhona,
Chirojibaner baaniro bedona  mitilo dnoharo nayone.
