 Kazi Nazrul Islam composed almost 4000 songs, which are known as Nazrul Geeti or the songs of Nazrul. These songs, equally popular in India and Bangladesh, have also been translated into Oriya language. The songs have been composed in four musical styles- Revolutionary Mass Music, Bhakti Geeti, Ghazals and Ragasrayi Songs. Bengali Ghazals were the innovation of Nazrul Islam, which was the grand introduction of Islam to the traditional Bengali Music. The Ghazals were moulded into the form of Persian Ghazal based on the theme of love and nature. Kazi Nazrul Islam profusely enriched Ghazals in Bengali language.
Examples of Nazrul Geeti Ghazals
Some of the Nazrul Geeti Ghazals are:
‘Gagane Pabane’: Here the poet is talking about the nature. The word ‘Gagan’ means sky and ‘Paban’ means air.
‘Patha Chalite Jodi Chakite’: This song is purely based on the theme of love. Here the poet is addressing his beloved.
‘Pashaner Bhangale Ghum’: The word ‘Pashan’ means relentless. Here an unmerciful person is awakened from sleep. So the poet is asking why he has been awakened.
‘Dite Ele Phul He Priya’: Here the poet’s beloved has come to give him flowers upon which he asks her why she has brought flowers.
Some other popular Ghazal Nazrul Geeti songs are:
‘Tomarei Ami’
‘Sedin Nishithe’
‘Paradeshi Priyotomo’
‘Bokul Champar Bone Ke More’
‘Musaafir Mocch Re Ankhi Jal’
‘E Ki Sure Tumi Gaan’
