Songs of Rajanikanta Sen (4)- Paatoki Boliye Ki Go

Today in the fourth part of the series, I am writing the lyrics of the song- 'Paatoki boliye ki go, paaye thela bhalo hoy'.

Paatoki Boliye Ki Go

Paaye thela bhalo hoy

Tobe keno paapi taapi

Eto aasha kore roy

Korite dhulaakhela oboshaano holo bela

Jara eshechhilo shaathe phele gelo oshomoye

Tobe keno...

 

Harayiye laabhe mule moronero shindhukule

Pothosraanto dehokhaani taaniyaa enechhi haaye

Jibone kokhono ami daakini hridoyoshwaami

E odeene e odheene tyejibe ki doyaamoy (tai)

Tobe keno...

 

In this song the poet asks the Lord to save him. He also realises that he has wasted his life in this world of Maya and at last has come to the Lord. He knows that the Lord will never refuse him, with this belief he has come to take refuge in the Lord. The last line- "E odeene e odheene tyejibe ki doyaamoy"- is wonderful!

I have heard the version of this song by Krishna Chattopadhyay and Chhabi Bondyopadhyay.

 Do listen to this wonderful song :)

Jai Shri Krishna.

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.
