Good night moon, good night stars Goodnight the wind of whisper Burning light, rotating fan Good night the sleepy heads My friends, far afar Let the night angel come Like the dropping rain Of a receding summer Let the dreams soothe the soul Awash the worries of work, Driving away wars Drumbeats muffle the cries Here and there In the lands of nowhere Good night moon, good night stars Good night the blind wanderer Grumbling fright, pulsating plan Good night the fluffy breads The jittery platter by Mahbubul Karim Sohel August 28, 2013

Gausul Azam Baba - Recently I've listened to this song which is a form of spiritual song known as "Maij Vandari", that I rendered in my keyboard. I remember listening to this type of song in my childhood and if I am not mistaken Maij Vandari songs are from the hilly place of Chittagong, a natural beauty of our world containing large leafy mountains and also is closed to one of the longest continuous sea shores with the sandy beach and the bluest crushing waves.

Instrumental music of a song originally written and composed by legendary Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam close to a century ago. It was my hard fought attempt to play this beautiful song that still needs more work to even dare the allusive perfection. The more I delve into Nazrul's music, his sheer brilliance as a music composer and lyricist becomes clearer. Lyrics in Bangla (Source:  http://lyricsbags.blogspot.ca/2013/03/shukno-patar-nupur-paye-mila.html )  শুকনো পাতার নুপুর পায়ে , নাচিছে ঘূর্ণি বায় । জল তরঙ্গে ঝিলমিল ঝিলমিল , ঢেউ তুলে সে যায় । জল তরঙ্গে ঝিলমিল ঝিলমিল , ঢেউ তুলে সে যায় । (2) দিঘিরও বুকে শতদল দোলে , জরায়ে বকুল চাপার তলি , চঞ্ছলো ঝর্ণার , জলছল চলি , মাঠের পথে সে গায় । জল তরঙ্গে ঝিলিমিলি ঝিলিমিলি , ঢেউ তুলে সে যায় (2) বনফুলের আবরণ , খুলিয়া ফালিয়া , আলু থালু এল কেশ , গগনে মেলিয়া (2) পাগলিনী নেচে যায় , হেলিয়া দুলিয়া , ধূলি ধূসরও পায় ......... জল তরঙ্গে ঝিলমিল ঝিলমিল , ঢেউ তুলে সে যায় ।। (2) ইরানি বালিকা যেন মরু চারিনি , পল্লীর প্রান্তর , বন মন হার...

Eid Mubarak to all my family, friends and everyone, here and abroad. Wishing the joy and happiness throughout your life.  Instrumental music I played in my oldie keyboard "Ramjaner Oi Rojar Sheshe Elo Khusir Eid" - a song composed by the Bengali rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam close to a century ago. He lived from 1899 to 1976. Nazrul's music, poem and writings reverberate the themes of humanity, freedom and love. He wrote against fascism and oppression during its frenzied climb, and was always against any kinds of bigotry and intolerance, he was for the emancipation of forgotten and poverty stricken mass. This particular song is very popular in the Bengali speaking world, many prominent singers performed this many times. I have distinct memories from my early childhood, listening to this song in the evening when the moon was sighted for the on coming Eid celebration. Eid Mubarak to everyone! English Transliteration: O mon Romjaner oi rojar sheshe  Elo khushir ...

This is an instrumental music of a song composed by Fakir Lalon Shah who lived from 1774 to 1890. He was born in Kushtia, now in Bangladesh, and my father lyricist Masud Karim who was born in the same district, amongst many other poets and writers, was greatly inspired by him from his childhood. Lalon was a Bengali saint, poet, mystic, social reformer, thinker and music composer. He was also known as Mahatma Lalon Fakir and Lalon Sain. He is still praised for his universal messages of tolerance and spirituality. Many past and contemporary poets, writers, music composers, singers, thinkers and the ordinary folks like me were and are continuously inspired by his transcendental songs and poems. In modern time, Bangladeshi legendary singer Farida Parveen sang this immortal song. Here is the English transliteration of this song (Source: http://www.mysticsaint.info/2012/02/lalon-barir-kache-arshi-nagar.html )   Barir Kache Aarshi Nagar shethae Porshee boshot kore Ekghor Porshee bo...
