Notes: It is well known that Rabindranath had used the theme of a song 'Rumakhuma Barakhe ...' sung by the famous singer Jadubhatta. Although it is a fact that the poet did not enjoy the exposure of Jadubhatta for long but merely four months. Nevertheless, the impact of his brief visit to Thakurbari was strong enough that the theme of this very song was used by three separate composers for three separate songs. They are Dwijendranath Tagore, in his song - 'Din-hin bhakate ...', Jyotirindranath Tagore, in his song - 'Tumi hey bharosa mamo ...' and lastly Rabindranath himself, in the song - Shunyo haate phiri...

Transliteration in English

Shunyo haate phiri, he naatho, pothe pothe -  phiri hey dwaare dwaare - 
Chirobhikari hridi momo nishidin chaahe kaare.
Chitto na shaanti jane, trishna na tripti maane -
Jaaha paai taai haarai, bhaashi oshrudhare.
Sakolo jaatri choli gelo, bohi gelo sabo bela,
Aase timiro jaamini, bhaangiya gelo mela - 
Koto potho aache baaki, jaabo choli bhikkha raakhi, 
Kotha jwale grihoprodip kon shindhupaare.
