"O Mon Romzaner Oi Rozar Sheshe" (Bengali: ও মন রমজানের ঐ রোজার শেষে [oː mɔn ˈrɔmzaneɾ oi̯ ˈrozaɾ ˈʃeʃeˑ]) is a Bengali Eid-ul-Fitr song, written by Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh. It is a common tune heard in Bengali households around the world. The song was written and composed at the request of Nazrul's disciple, Abbasuddin Ahmed in 1931.[1] It has been covered by many artists around the world. The song is written on the end of the period of fasting and the Bengali celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.[2] This was regarded by his contemporaries as a significant achievement, as Bengali Muslims had been strongly averse to devotional music.[3]
