Songs of Rajanikanta Sen (2)- 'Tumi arupo shwarupo shaguna nirguna'

 

Today in my seond post in this series (for the first post, check out here),  I am taking the song- 'Tumi arupo shwarupo shaguna nirguna' by the famous poet - Rajanikanta Sen.


Tumi arupo shwarupo shaguno nirguno

Doyal bhoyaal Hari hey

Ami ki ba bujhi

Ami ki ba jaani

Ami keno bhebe mori hey.

 

Ki rupe eshechhi kemone ba jaabo

Ta bhabiye keno jibono katabo

Tumi aaniyaachho tomarei paabo

Eo shudhu mone kori hey.

 

Na raakhi jotil nyayer baarota

Bichaare bichaare baare oshaarota

Ami jaani tumi amar e debota

Tai ami hride dhori hey


Tai bole daaki praan jaha chaaye

Daakite daakite hridoyo juraaye

Jokhono jey rupe praan bhore jaaye

Tai dekhi praano bhori hey.


Here the poet expresses his salutations and absolute faith in the Almighty. He can be formless or He can take any form, (He can be Sagun or Nirgun), He can be gracious or strict, but He is the 'essence' of our whole existence. I especially like the last stanza where he says whenever I feel love for a certain form, I immerse in the that form to feel divine love. Such a great emotion!!!

Hinduism gives us this freedom to choose whatever form we wish to worship. Then the Lord blesses us so that we can have immovable faith in our chosen form.

I have listened the version sung by Krishna Chattopadhyay. Do check out her version from any video or audio App.

Jai Shri Krishna.
