Notes: This song was written in monsoon 1909.
'Debalay', an association founded by Shashipada Bandopadhyay at the ground floor of his own house at Cornwallis street, was a place where prayers, religious discussions and speeches used to be held on a regular basis. Rabindranath often appeared for delivering speeches. One such incidence on 20th September 1909 reported in 'Punya-smriti' by Sita-Debi, daughter of Ramananda Chattopadhyay reads -
... Rabindranath had just finished reading out a small essay requests for a song flew from all sides. Normally he would not turn down such requests although this habit of him had changed at his older age due to ill health.
Rabindranath brought out a small notebook and started browsing through songs. He sang 'Megher pore megh jomechhe ...'; possibly it was one of his recent compositions. Only a handful audience in the small room were present in the program as it was not publicised well. But people thronged the alleys and the compounds nearby as soon as his brilliant voice was heard outside across the walls of the room. One gentleman had a few weird questions on discovering an impression of idolatry in the verse. What I still remember is that he refrained from replying as if in agreement.
This song has two notations, one prepared by Dinendranath Tagore in Tritaal and the other by Surendranath Bandopadhyay in Ektaal. Apart from these two variations it does have another accepted arrhythmic version.

Transliteration in English
Megher pare megh jomechhe, aandhar kore aase. Aamar keno bosiye raakho eka dwaarer paashe. Kaajer dine naana kaaje thaaki naana loker maajhe, Aaj aami je bose aachhi tomari ashwase. Tumi jodi na dekha daao, karo aamay hela, Kemon kore kaate aamar emon baadol bela. Durer paane mele aankhi kebol aami cheye thaaki, Paran aamar knede beray duranto baatase.
