Notes: This song was written on 24th January, 1937. In fact two songs were witten on this day – Chalo Jaai Chalo ... and Shubho Karmopathe Dharo Nirbhay Gaan ... .
Probhatkumar Mukhopadhyay in his biography 'Rabindra-jiboni' has written about these two songs –
... A request has been forwarded by the Vice Chancellor of Kolkata University – Shyamaprasad Mukhopadhyay, to the poet for a special song to be sung on 27th February, 1937 observed as the Foundation day of the University. At first the song 'Shubho karmopathe dharo nirbhay gaan ...' was written followed by another song 'Chalo jaai chalo...'. The university authority had selected the second one. Rehearsal for this song continued for a few days at Shantiniketan. Students were seen to follow a queue while moving in and out of the temple where the practice sessions were held under the leadership of Dhirendramohan Sen, the head. However this song did not have the popularity, but the other song 'Shubho karmopathe ...' were seen to have been sung in a few occasions.
The students did sing the song on the foundation day of Kolkata University. However despite utmost endeavour from Shyamaprosad the program was not rendered as unanimous success, as the Muslim students refrained from joining the program. For a period they were pressurising the authority to withdraw the image of a lotus and the word 'Sri' from the official seal of the University as it would depict idol worship. All out accomplishment of the program fell short due to the said agitation. ...

Shubho karmopathe dharo nirbhay gaan. Sab durbal sanshay hok abosaan. Chiro- shoktir nirjhar nityo jhare Laho se obhishek lalato pare. Tabo jaagroto nirmalo nutano praan. Tyagobrote nik dikkha, Bighno hote nik shikkha - Nisthur sankat dik samman. Dukkhoi hok tabo bitto mohan. Chalo jaatri chalo dinraatri - Karo amritolokopath onusandhan. Jarotatamos haw uttirna, Klaantijaal karo dirno bidirna - Din-ante aporajito chitte Mrityutaron tirthe karo snaan.
