OK Deep - I tortured you enough 😛
Let me spell out the answers here

1. "Aaj jotsna rate sobai geche bone" : Written just after the death of his youngest son Samindranath Tagore.

2. "Tumi ki keboli chobi ..": Written after his daughter Madhurilata's death, the in laws of Madhurilata didn't even let Tagore see her during her last days.

The greatest poet of India had to face the death of all his sons and daughters and his wife in his lifetime. Maybe the deepest sorrow actually sharpen his pen more - and he gave us these gems!

3. "Jotobar Alo jalate jai nibhe jai bare bare": Tagore was member of Bramho Samaj, but once he organized "Durga Puja" in Jorasako Thakur Bari . Hindu's didn't went there - 'cause he is Bramho; Bramho Samaj boycotted him for praying Hindu Goddess! He wrote this right after that incident.

Funny thing is many young lovers of Bengal quote this in their love letters - especially when they have to write a parting letter 😆

Thanks alot Anol...You are the man of substance.Your torture was also a pleasure.

Manju ji - I'll try to find a good translation for these songs - if can't- I'll do that and PM you within 3 days - I promise! 😊

Thanks Anol 👏

Another great song that he wrote after the death of his favorite 'bouthan' Kadambari debi was 'Amar praner pare chole gelo ke'... Amazing song - will find a place in my list of top 10 tagore songs 😳

Right Jaya 😊
Saagar Sen's one of the best Rabindrasangeet 😊
I uploaded that once for Abhi!

Thanks a lot anol da take your time but I will wait. Yeh dekh kar lagat hai kitna sacha gana hai woh

"Hain sabse madhur wohh geet jinhe hum, Gham ke sur mein gaate hain"

I will wait for your PM. Anol da your questions initially looked like torture but in the end I enjoyed them personally.

I am glad you answered last one, it's really good information which you will not find anywhere easily.
