Notes: This song was written on 15th May, 1900, however a melody assigned to it in 1933.

It was written as a poem of ‘Kshonika’ and after a long time while preparing for staging Taaser Desh a tune was composed for it. Shantidev Ghosh in his book ‘Rabindra-sangeet’ had written –

... Gurudev had composed tunes for first three stanzas of the poem ‘Hey Nirupama’ for the purpose of staging it in Kolkata as a song for the Prince. And the tune for the fourth stanza was composed while staging it at Mumbai. ...

The poem has some difference in its primary version and the contemporary one.

Transliteration in English

Hey nirupoma,
Gaane jodi laage biwhalo taan   koriyo khama.
Jharojharo dhaara aaji utorol,  nodi-kule kule utthe kallol,
Bone bone gaahe marmarosware    nobino paata.
Sajalo pabono dishe dishe tole    baadologaatha.
Hey nirupoma,
Chapolata aaji jodi ghote tobe    koriyo khama.
Elo baroshar saghano dibosh,  bonoraaji aaji byakulo bibash,
Bokulobithika mukule matto    kaanono-pare.
Nabokadombo modiro gandhe   aakulo kore.
Hey nirupoma,
Chapolata aaji jodi ghote tobe    koriyo khama.
Tomari dukhani kaalo aankhi-pare  barosharo kaalo chhaayakhaani pare,
Ghanokaalo tabo kunchito keshe    juthiro maala.
Tomar charone nabobaroshar barondaala.
Hey nirupoma,
Aankhi jodi aaj kore aporaadh,    koriyo khama.
Hero aakasher dur kone kone    bijuli chamoki utthe khane khane,
Dhruto koutuke tabo baatayane    ki dekhe cheye.
Adhiro pabono kisero laagiya  aashichhe dheye.
