Songs of Rajanikanta Sen (3)- 'Keno Bonchito Hobo Chorone'

Today, in the third part of the series, I am writing about the famous song- 'Keno bonchito hobo chorone'.

Keno bonchito hobo chorone

Ami koto aasha kore boshe achhi

Paabo jibone na hoy morone.


Aha tai jodi nahi hobe go

Paatoki taaron torite taapito

Aature tule na lobe go

Hoye pother dhulaaye ondho

Eshe dekhibo ki kheya bondho

Tobe paare boshe paar koro bole paapi keno taake deeno shorone?

 

Ami shunechhi hey trishahaari

Tumi ene daao taare prem omrito trishito je chaahe baari

Tumi aapona hoite howo aaponar

Jaar keho nai tumi achho tar

E ki shob michhe kotha bhaabite je betha

Boro baaje Prabhu morome

In this song the poet portrays the Lord as the Saviour of the sinners. He is the only hope for the persons who had trodden a wrong path in their life. The Lord never refuses anyone so the poet expresses his faith that he will also be saved by the Lord. And the lines

Tumi aapona hoite howo aaponar

Jaar keho nai tumi achho tar

-are so famous! So true!! We are so forgetful about this fact while living in the world of Maya, that's why the poet reminds us of the fact that only the Almighty is our Dearest :)

I have listened to one version of the song by Juthika Roy and another by Krishna Chattopadhyay. Do check them out :)


Jai Shri Krishna.
