O Mon Romzaner Oi Rozar Sheshe

"O Mon Romzaner Oi Rozar Sheshe" (Bengali: ও মন রমজানের ঐ রোজার শেষে, pronounced [oː mon ˈrɔmd͡ʒaneɾ oi̯ ˈrod͡ʒaɾ ˈʃeʃeˑ]) is a popular Bengali Eid-ul-Fitr song, written by Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh. The song was written and composed in 1931 at the request of Nazrul's disciple, Abbasuddin Ahmed. The song is written on the end of the period of fasting and the Bengali celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr. The song remains one of the most popular Bengali song of all time and is a common tune heard in Bangladeshi households. This was regarded by his contemporaries as a significant achievement, as Bengali Muslims had been strongly averse to devotional music.

First recording

In 1931, four days after the song was written, it was first recorded in the voice of the artist Abbasuddin Ahmed. The song was set to the Pilu as its raga and keherwa for its tala. Two months after the recording, the record was released just before Eid al-Fitr. Gramophone Company released this record. The other song on the record was the poet's "Islamer Oi Souda Loye Elo Navin Sodagar, Bodnasin Aay, Aay Gunahgar Notun Kore Soda Kor." The record number of His Masters Company was N-4111. The song was released in February 1932.

At the time of recording the song, Abbasuddin Ahmed was only 23 years old. He had not yet made his full debut as a folk singer. But this song established him as a popular folk singer. In the years following the recording, Ahmed gained popularity by singing the song at various events. After the partition of India in 1947, Ahmed moved to India. But the song became equally popular in India and Bangladesh.

O heart, happy Eid came at the end of that Ramadan fast, Give yourself away today, listen to the heavenly exhortation. Your gold-beads, bracelets, all the way to Lillah, Give Zakat, to wake up the dead Muslim today, O mind, happy Eid came at the end of that Ramadan fast. Today I will read Eid prayers, o my heart, in that Eidgah, The ground on which all Ghazi Muslims have been martyred. O heart, happy Eid came at the end of that Ramadan fast. Forget what your friend and foe do today, shake hands, With your love, the world is a disciple of worldwide Islam. O heart, happy Eid came at the end of that Ramadan fast. Those who are full of life, fasting, constantly fasting, Give to the poor orphan miskin, whatever is beneficial, O heart, happy Eid came at the end of that Ramadan fast, Give yourself away today, listen to the heavenly exhortation. Pour the sweetness of Tawhid in the saucer of the heart, The honourable will accept your invitation, I hope. O mind, happy Eid came at the end of that Ramadan fast. Those who threw bricks and stones at you all their lives, Build a mosque of love with that stone. O heart, happy Eid came at the end of that Ramadan fast, Give yourself away today, listen to the heavenly exhortation.
