Draft:Nitol Paye

Nitol Paye is a 2006 Bengali-language popular remixed pop single. The song features vocals by Fuad al Muqtadir and Rajib Rahman, with music arranged by Fuad al Muqtadir himself, which was recorded for Muqtadir's electronic remix pop album Variation No. 25. The title of the song is taken from "Nitol Paye Rinik Jhinik Payelkhani Bajhe", a song penned by Meera Dev Burman and sung by the legendary musician Sachin Dev Burman. The first four lines of Meera Dev Burman's original lyrics were used in this song. Additionally, a line from Sachin Dev Burman's song "Tumi Eshe Chile Porshu, Kal Keno Ashoni" was also incorporated into this song.

Background
While Muqtadir in the United States, he produced the music for the album Variation No. 25. Initially, several instrumental arrangements were created. He would listen to these instrumental tunes while traveling, intending to write new lyrics for them. Once, on his way from New Jersey to New York, he began experimenting with Sachin Dev Burman's song Nitol Paye by singing its lyrics to one of these tunes, which gave him the idea to remixed the song. He planned to rewrite all the verses except the original four lines of the song. As per his intention, Rajib Rahman wrote the new lyrics. The song was recorded at Muqtadir's personal studio in New York. Primarily, the plan was to record the entire song with Muqtadir's solo voice, although later, the first four lines were recorded with it's lyricist Rajib Rahman's voice, and the remaining part was recorded by Muqtadir's own voice.

Release and popularity
The song was released in Bangladesh with the album Variation No. 25 under the label of G-Series in 2006. Later that year, G-Series and Arshi Music jointly re-released the album as Variation 25.2, adding 2 more songs to the original 13 with compact disc format. This song gained immense popularity along with other remixes in the album, including Nobina sung by Poonam, Kun Ashroy by Bappa Mazumder, and Daak Diyachhen Doyal Amare by Anila Naz Chowdhury.
