DHAKA- 'O Mon Ramzan-er Oi Rozar Sheshey Elo Khushir Eid', the impressive song of National Poet Kazi Najrul Islam, is completing 91 years tomorrow on the day of the Eid-ul-Fitr.
The song has become an unofficial title or theme song for the Eid-ul-Fitr, heralding the biggest festival of the Muslims after the month-long fasting in Ramadan in the country.
As soon the song is played, it creates a wave of gratification among the people and prompts them to get ready to celebrate the Eid.
National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam composed this very song greeting the Muslims on Eid-ul-Fitr in early 1932, which has become the signature tune for 'Rojar Eid' or Eid-ul-Fitr in this country. Abbas Uddin Ahmed sang the song for the first time.
His Masters Voice in Kolkata published the record of the Nazrul's ageless song a few days before the Eid-ul-Fitr in February in 1932.
