"Ey Rupali Guitar Fele
Ek din chole jabo dure, bohu dure"

This is probably Ayub Bachchu's most well-known song, which people still play to this day during hangout and family gatherings. This song conveys the anguish of hurting someone unintentionally, as well as the terror of losing the love of your soulmate.

Penned by Latiful Islam Shibli, from the album, "Capsule 500 mg", this song depicts the inner feelings of people, when they feel lonely amidst the crowd. In the chaos of life, we often feel that no one really understands us fully and this song truly embodies that feeling.
