Notes: A Marathi composition was taken for this song in 1895. This song is included in seasons song( Ritu Sangeet) but remodelled as "Bishwa- Rajalay Bishwabimna Bajiche..."

The poet had raised doubt in a letter written to Indira Debi on 26th November1917 on the tune for this song that was being taught by Dinendranath Tagore -

... Dinu has prepared a swaralipi of this song in the same structure that he follows while teaching students here. Vidyapati of Mithila had to withstand a lot of pain due to adaptations of his original structuring after being introduced in Bengal and we all have taken this structure as granted. Restructuring of these exotic tunes too are inevitable - and there is no harm in that. I have decided to acquit him with this logic in the mind. ...

In another letter to her in a few days time he writes -

... The undisputable logic you have thrown in support of your objection against the deformation of the song 'Bishwabinarobe bishwajon ...' has hit me hard and in fact pierced right through my earlier comment on the subject. It has been only a month or so after listening to my songs from someone else; the suffering is not yet over, your prick in the same spot has rendered me frail.

The reality is, ignorance on one side and laze on the other. My knowledge is poor, whether it is my own tune or others'. Manipulation is evident whenever it required for application. ... Hence I was in praise despite wrong teaching of this song by Dinu. It would invite controversy if I had raised my voice against. You might curse me - It's your song, let people do them as they might wish! That will not be of any harm to me - it is a divine curse already bestowed on me.

The exact tune of this song must have been known by Indira Debi as it was derived from a song 'Nadavidya parabrahmarasa jan re ...' in fact, collected by her.

Transliteration in English

Biswabinarobe biswajon mohiche.
Sthale jale nabhotale bone upobone
Nodinade giriguha-paarabare
Nityo jaage saroso songitomodhurima,
Nityo nrityorasobhongima. -

Nabo basonte nabo aanondo, utsabo nabo.
Oti monjulo, oti monjulo, shuni monjulo gunjano kunje -
Shuni re shuni marmaro pallabopunje,
Pikokujano puspobone bijane,
Mridu baayuhilolobilolo bibholo bishalo sarobaro-maajhe
Kalogito sulolito baaje.
Shyamolo kaantaro  paare anilo sanchare dhire re,
Noditire sharobone utthe dhwoni sarosaro maromaro.
Kato dike kato baani, nabo nabo kato bhaasa, jharojharo rasodhaara.

Aasharhe nabo aanondo, utsabo nabo.
Oti gombhiro, oti gombhiro nil ambare dambaru baaje,
Jeno re prolayongkori shankori naache.
Kare garjano nirjhorini saghane,
Hero khubdho bhayalo bishalo niralo piyalotamalobitane
Utthe rabo bhoirabotaane.
Pabon mallarogito gaahichhe aandharo raate,
Unmadini soudamini rangobhore nrityo kare ambarotale.
Dike dike kato baani, nabo nabo kato bhaasa, jharojharo rasodhara.

Aashwine nabo aanondo, utsabo nabo.
Oti nirmalo, oti nirmalo, oti nirmalo ujjwalo saaje
Bhubane nabo sharodolokkhi biraje.
Nabo indulekha aloke jhaloke,
Oti nirmalo haasobibhasobikasho aakashonilambujo-maajhe
Shweto bhuje shweto bina baaje -
Utthichhe aalapo mridu modhuro behagotaane,
Chandrokare ullosito phullobone jhillirabe tandra aane re.
Dike dike kato baani, nabo nabo kato bhaasa, jharojharo rasodhara.
