Parjaay: Anushthanik Sangeet (15)

Written on: 1940

Swarabitan: Notation not available

Notes: This song was written on 2nd November, 1940.

Rabindranath was in Jorasanko with his ill health. He had received a request from Lord Bishop from Kolkata to write a few words for a relief camp to be established for the blind. Lord Bishop was a close friend of Andrews who had died recently. Rabindranath could not waive out his request and wrote this song and sent it. A tune, presumably, was not composed for it as there is no reference found in any contemporary memoires and no notation had ever been prepared.

Aaloker pathe, probhu, daao dwaar khule -
Aalok piyasie jaara aachhe aankhi tule,
Prodosher chhaayatale haarayechhe disha,
Sumukhe aasichhe ghire nirashar nisha.
Nikhilo bhubane tabo jasra aatmohaara
Aandharer aaborane khnoje dhrubotaara,
Taahader drishti aano ruper jagote -
Aaloker pathe.
