This song is originally written by Jasimuddin from Bangladesh who was known as Palli Kabi. The poet beautifully penned down his desire for love, his yearning in this song. Folk songs always have a deep meaning hidden beneath simple words. In this song, the poet compares the lovers with a boat and a moon. The lonely boat, the river, the night, and the distant silver moon create the mystic aura of this song. The boat floats on in search of its lover, who the poet refers to as “Doyal”, the kind one.
