Musical composition and background history of the song:
Parjaay: Prem O Prokriti (2)
Raag: Bhupali
Written on: 1879
Published in: Bharati
Swarabitan: Notation not available
Notes: This song was published in the year 1879 in the magazine 'Bharati' along with another song 'Giyaachhe Sedin ...' while Rabindranath was in England. The poem with a heading 'Briddha Kobi' had Bhupali as the indication of raag. A note in English was enclosed along with, which read:
Translated from an English translation of the poem by the Talharian the Welsh poet.
This happens to be an extremely rare incident where Rabindranath had translated a poem of another language and acknowledged it as Rabindra sangeet. Another matter seems to bother that the tune remains untraceable, although the fact that it had been included in the collection Rabichhaya makes it evident that it had a tune. The magazine Bharati too seems to indicate the existence of a tune.

Transliteration in English
Mon hote prem jetechhe shukaaye, jiban hotechhe shesh. Shithil kapol, molin nayon, tushardhabal kesh. Pashete aamar nirabe poriya ajatane binakhani – Baajabar bal naahiko e haate, jorimajorito baani. Gitimoyi mor sahochori bina, hoilo biday nite. Aar ki paaribi dhaalibare tui amrito chite. Tobu ekbar, aar ekbar tyajibar aage praan Morite morite gaaiya loibo saadher se-sab gaan. Dulibe aamar samadhi-upare torugon saakha tuli – Bonodebatara gaahibe takhon maroner gaanguli.
