কাজী নজরুল ইসলামের গানের খসড়া খাতা ১২

This coverless exercise book begins with an index of songs and contains compositions dated from August to November 1933. The notebook features several significant songs, including dance songs like “Bādal Megher Mādal Tāle” and “Hese Hese Kalsī Nācāẏe Kiśorī Cale,” with some marked as unassigned or designated for specific performers or recording companies like All India Radio and Twin. Of historical interest is the poet's Kolkata address (16 Rajendranath Street) written alongside his sons' names, Kazi Aniruddha Islam and Kazi Sabyasachi Islam. The notebook includes a date entry from January 26, 1950, written in both Bengali and English calendars. Various non-musical elements appear throughout, including card game calculations, mathematical computations, and a poem in different handwriting. A particularly personal touch is the entry containing the poet's sons' names, nicknames, school, and club affiliations.
