Notes: This song was written on 8th September, 1926 while sitting on the deck of a ship sailing across the Baltic Sea.
NirmalKumari Mahalanabish had accompanied Rabindranath in his tour to Europe. She had mentioned in her book 'Kobir Songe Europe' –

After a while he called me and said – 'Come here quickly and take this tune. I may lose it if I wait till morning. A new melody will have to be composed again.'
He had imparted me the song after writing and composing the tune for it. Lately he used to be anxious to transfer the tune to anyone close by soon after composing a new one, so that he or she can help him remember it in case he was unable to do so. He could recollect the entire melody with a slender queue. …

Se kon paagol jaay jaay pathe tor, jaay chole oi ekla raate - Taare daakis ne tor aanginate. Sudur desher baani o je jaay jaay bale, haay, ke ta bojhe - Ki sur baajay ektarate. Kaal sakale raibe na raibe na to, Brithai keno aason paato. Bnaadhon-chnerar mahotsabe Gaan je ore gaaite habe, Nabin aalor bandanate.
