This page is on the songs (based on ragas) of the great poet Kazi Nazrul Islam. Viewers are requested to email their comments, suggestion, information and requests to the author.
Kazi Nazrul Islam - Nazrul, the son of Kazi Fakir Ahmed and Zaheda Khatun, was born in 1899 in an undivided India. His nick name was given 'Dukhu Miya' since he was born in an utter poverty. He lost his father at a very young age and since then he had to face the bitter face of reality, struggling very hard with poverty. Apart from all these extremely adverse situation, he composed hundreds of poems and songs and became a renouned personality not only in India and Bangladesh, but also in abroad.
He learned Arabian and Persian during his childhood education. His poems and songs, specially 'Ghazals' (written in Bengali) carry many Urdu, Arabian and Persian words. His compositions were based on various aspects e.g. nature, love, devotion and patriotism. His noteworthy work is 'Agnibina', which comprised of his outstanding poems like 'Bidrohi', 'Pralayollash', 'Dhumketu', 'Kamalpasha', 'Anowar', 'Quorbani', 'Mohram'. His other contributions are 'Sikal Parar Gaan', 'Srishti Sukher Ullashe', 'Super (Jeler) Bandana', 'Rajbondir Jabanbondi'. These were written by the freedom-fighter poet Nazrul, when he was convicted in jail during the pre-independence period. He was a very controversal figure of that time. He is known as 'Bidhrohi Kobi', meaning a rebel poet. Some of the other marvellous compositions are 'Kandari Hunshiyar', 'Pralayshikha', 'Bulbul'. He put a great effort to unite the Hindus and Muslims to fight against the British for freedom. One of his poems is partly quoted below which reflects his mentality of a Hindu-Muslim unity.
"Mora Eki Brinte Duti Kushum Hindu Musholman |
Muslim Tar Noyon-Moni, Hindu Tahar Pran" ||
Ek She Aakaash Mayer Kole, Jeno Robi-Soshi Dole |
Ek Rokto Buker Tole, Ek She Narir Taan ||
Below is given the list of the songs, based on ragas, written by Kazi Nazrul Islam. The list is done in an alphabetical order and the names of the ragas are in red. It is to be noted that I have tried to write the songs as they are pronounced in Bengali. Most of them are taken from the 'Ragpradhan' part of the Nazrul-Geeti book. The names of the ragas are spelled in the formal way.
Please note that in some songs, there may be slight deviations from the pure form of the Raga.
