National Anthem of Bangladesh

National Anthem of Bangladesh

Grounding

'Amar Sonar Bangla' composed by Rabindranath Tagore in 1906 was adopted as the national anthem of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. This music was extremely popular during the swadeshi movement in the first two decades of the 20th century. Politicians, Swadeshi activists and revolutionaries against the Partition of Bengal (1905) preached this song as a means to inspire the Bengali people to patriotism. But as regional nationalism subsided in the 1920s, the song's popularity declined. The revival of the song took place on the eve of the Liberation War in 1971. On January 3, 1971, the song was sung at a public meeting organized by Chhatra League and Sramik League at Dhaka's Paltan Maidan. The song was sung on the eve of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's historic Seventh March speech at Dhaka's Race Course Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan). The song was also sung at the official independence parade of Swadhin Bangla Central Chhatra Sangam Parishad on March 23.

The expatriate government of Bangladesh in Mujibnagar recognized this song as the national anthem of Bangladesh and during the liberation war the song was regularly played by Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra. After independence, constitutionally (Article 4.1) 'Amar Sonar Bangla' was declared as the national anthem of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The first 10 chapters of the song are provided as vocal music and the first 4 chapters as instrumental music.

 

National Anthem of Bangladesh


Amar shonar Bangla, ami tomay bhalobashi.
Cirodin tomar akash, tomar batash, amar prane bajay bãshi.
O ma, phagune tor amer bone ghrane pagol kôre,
Mori hay, hay re:
O ma, Ôghrane tor bhôra khete ami ki dekhechi modhur hashi.

Ki shobha, ki chaya go, ki sneho, ki maya go,
Ki ãcol bichayecho bôṭer mule, nodir kule kule.
Ma, tor mukher bani amar kane lage shudhar môto,
Mori hay, hay re:
Ma, tor bôdonkhani molin hole, o ma, ami nôyonjôle bhashi.

Tomar ei khêlaghôre shishukal kaṭile re,
