Today in the fifth part of the series, I am writing about another famous composition by Rajanikanta Sen, 'Ami to tomare chahini jibone.
Ami to Tomaare Chahini Jibone
Tumi obhaagaare cheyechho
Ami na daakite hridoyo
maajhaare
Nije eshe dekha diyechho
Chiro aadorer binimoye
shokha
Chiro obohelaa peyechho
Ami dure chhute jete du
haato poshaari
Dhore tene kole niyechho
Ami to tomare...
O pothe jeyo na fire esho
bole
Kaane kaane koto koyechho
Ami tobu chole gechhi
firaaye aanite
Paachhe paachhe chhute
giyechho
Ami to tomare...
Ei chiro oporadhi paatokir
bojha
Haanshi mukhe tumi boyechho
Amar nijo haate gora bipoder
maajhe
(Amaye) buke kore niye
royechho
Ami to tomare....
In this song, the poet says God's love is unconditional. He stays with us
always, protects us, guides us and accepts us each time whenever we move towards Him.
It is the Lord who does all our work taking away all the burden from us.
This song reminded me of two songs from Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan.
1. During the Setu Bandhan song, the lyrics are-
Har kaarajme, nij bhakton ka, haath bataa dete hain,
Haath bataa dete hain,
Baadhaaon ke saare patthar Raam hata dete hain,
Apne upar le kar unka bhaar ghataa dete hain.
2. And the other song is when Ravan attacks Vibhishan with Shakti astra and Shri Ram takes the blow of the fierce weapon upon Himself. The lyrics of that song are-
Nahi Raghuveer sa mitra koi
Nahi Prabhu sa pratipal
Mitro ke sankat sahe
Bankar unki dhaal
May our mind always dwell in the thoughts of the lotus feet of the Lord.
Jai Shri Krishna.
