Notes: Rainy season of 1930.Vishwa Bharti had arranged for the celebration of Barsha Mangal at Calcutta.Quite a few new songs were written for the purpose and the rehearsal was on full throttle. Suddenly one day Gurudev's voice got choked due to cold.One of the main attractions in the program was recitation by himself. To have it corrected Gurudev started taking indigenious ayurvedic medicines.He forced others too to take them, so that othres did not fall ill. Amid chaos he penned this song and taught that to Dinendranath and others despite his choked voice.

Transliteration in English
Aamar kantho hote gaan ke nilo bhulaye, Se je baasa bnaadhe nirab moner kulaye. Megher dine shraabon maaser juthiboner dirghoshwaase Aamar-praane se dey paakhar chhaaya bulaye. Jakhon sharot knaape sheuliphuler harose Nayon bhare ja sei gopan gaaner paroshe. Gobhir raate ki sur laagay aadho-ghume aadho-jaagay, Aamar swapon-maajhe dey je ki dol dulay.
