Songs of Atulprasad Sen


এসো গো একা ঘরে একার সাথী।
সজল নয়নে বল রব কত রাতি !
সুনীল আকাশে চন্দ্র বিকাশে,
তামস নাশে;
এ আঁধারে হাসিবে কবে তব মুখ ভাতি।
তোমারে গোপন ব্যথা জানাব গোপনে,
তোমারে কুসুমমালা পরাব যতনে।
তব সঙ্গ মাগি আছি আমি জাগি
সরব-তেয়াগী;
তব চরণ লাগি আছি কান পাতি।।

Atulprasad Sen is remembered today for his songs, known as Atul Prasader Gaan, a body of devotional, patriotic or intensely romantic songs written and set to music by him. The small number of his compositions – just over 200 – are powerful in their pathos, sense of loss, and communion with nature. They occupy a special place in the hearts of Bengalis. Sen was also a dedicated social worker, a very successful barrister, an endearing man, and, in his quiet way, a rebel.

Sen was close to Rabindranath Tagore. He was a lawyer by day, but would be immersed in music by evening. He brought to Bengali music a tantalising new element: the use of thumri. He also pioneered the ghazal style in Bengali music.

Born in 1871 in Faridpur district, in Bangladesh, Sen was brought up by his maternal grandfather Kalinarayan Gupta, a noted Brahmo Samaj reformer who was also a kirtan singer. The family’s cultural leanings and their faith, nourished in Sen a sense of deep spirituality. Coupled with the tribulations he suffered in his personal life, Sen’s musical outpourings became deeply soulful and pathos-filled.

‘Esho go eka ghore’ is a love song that speaks of the profound pain of separation. Rendered by Luva Nahid Choudhury, the song gracefully captures the pathos of an unrequited love, the long wait, and the hope for communion. The deep shadow of sadness, which was Sen’s constant companion, is implicit in the song.
