Musical composition and background history of the song:
Parjaay: Jatiya Sangeet (1)
Raag: Bhairavi
Written on: 1878
Published in: Jatiya Sangeet
Swarabitan: Notation not available
Notes: A durbar had followed after the announcement by lord Litton declaring Queen Victoria as the Empress of India. Rabindranath had written a poem and composed a song commemorating this event. A report by Akshay Chandra Sarkar published on 4th March 1877 in his weekly reads -
... Rabindranath had written a poem and composed a song about Delhi durbar. We sat on the grass under a huge tree and listened to them. He is quite a boy not exceeding sixteen or seventeen. Yet his poeticism had been amazing, recitation in his mellow voice was in fact mesmerising. ...
The poem could easily be identified as Delhi Durbar, although, identification of the song remains dubious. Nabin Chandra Sen has mentioned about the song in his autobiography, although, he did not remark about the theme of the song. Nabakanta Chattopadhyay in his book Bharatiya Sangeet Muktabali published in 1884 had included this song as a poem written by Rabindranath Tagore.

Bhaarot re, tor kalonkito paromanuraashi Jato din sindhu na phelibe graasi tato din tui knaad re. Ei himgiri sporshiya aakash praachin hindur kirti-itihaas Jato din tor shiyore dnaaraye oshrujale tor bokkho bhaashaibe Tato din tui knaad re. Je din tomar giyeche choliya se din to aar aashibe na. Je robi poshchime porechhe dholiya se aar purobe utthibe na. Emni sakol neech hinopraan jonmeche tor kalonki santan Ekti bindu oshruo keho tomar tore dey na dhaali. Je din tomar tare shonit dhalite se din jokhon giyeche choli Takhon, bhaarot knaad re. Tabe kon bidhi eto alonkare rekhhechho saajaye bhaarotokaay. Bhaaroter bone paakhi gaaye gaan, swarnomegh-makha bhaarotobiman - Hethakar lata phule phule bhara, swarnoshoshyomoyi hethakar dhara - Prophullo totini bohiye jaay. Keno lajjaheena aalonkar pori rogoshuskhomukhe hnaasiraashi bhori Ruper garob koris haay. Je din giyachhe se to phirbe na, Tabe, re bhaarot, knaad re. Bhaarot, tor e kalonko dekhiya sharome molin mukh lukaiya Aamra je kobi bijone kaandibo, bijane bishaade beena jhankaribo, Taateo jakhon swaadinata naai Takhon, bhaarot, knaad re.
