Introduction
"Boka Ei Mon" (also credited as "Boka Boka Ei Mon") is a Bengali song from the 2022 film Shrimati. It is sung by Anupam Roy, with music and lyrics by Soumya Rit, and it is released by Times Music Bangla. "Boka" means foolish - and the song is a gentle confession by a heart that has foolishly lost itself: everything else in life comes back, it says, except time. On this page you will find the complete Boka Ei Mon lyrics in Bengali script, in Roman Bengali and in a separate English translation, along with the full song details, the lyrics meaning, the official video and the questions listeners ask the most.
The Song
"Boka Ei Mon" is built on one sighing question - "boka boka ei mon, haralo je kokhon?" (this foolish heart, when did it get lost?) - and one hard truth repeated like a proverb: "sobi fehre, shudhu fehre na je somoy" (everything returns; only time never returns). Around those poles, Soumya Rit's lines gather small consolations: dreams flying home by evening, nights finding their sleep by themselves, and a final piece of advice that turns the whole song into a hug - wherever your eyes wander, "bhalobasho tumi abar nijeke", love yourself once again.
The Artists
Anupam Roy is one of Bengal's defining singer-songwriters, whose reflective voice has shaped modern Bengali film music from "Amake Amar Moto" onwards; here he interprets another writer's words and makes them ache in his signature way. The song is written and composed by Soumya Rit, whose simple, aphorism-like lines carry the whole track. On screen, Shrimati stars Swastika Mukherjee and Soham Chakraborty.
The Music Video
The official video of "Boka Boka Ei Mon" was released on the Times Music Bangla YouTube channel in 2022 as part of the Shrimati soundtrack, intercutting moments from the film with the song's wistful mood. It is the version embedded on this page below.

Boka Ei Mon Lyrics in English
This foolish, foolish heart
When did it get lost?
Today the heart is deeply sad, at the wrong time
Let the flock of dreams
Fly back home by evening
Let tenderness itself win you back today
If I lose you once again
If I take two steps forward - to where?
Everything returns; only time never returns
Just as you have forgotten yourself
Forgotten which way home lies
Even familiar colours look faded - something is missing
All the aeroplanes of mistakes
Will find their peace today
The nights will find their sleep on their own
If I take two steps forward
If I lose you once again - to where?
Everything returns; only time never returns
This foolish, foolish heart
When did it get lost?
Today the heart is deeply sad, at the wrong time
Wherever your two eyes wish to wander
Love yourself once again
Love yourself once again
Boka Ei Mon Lyrics Meaning
The meaning of "Boka Ei Mon" sits inside its most quoted line: "Sobi fehre, shudhu fehre na je somoy" - everything returns, only time never returns. The heart is "boka", foolish, because it lost itself without noticing, somewhere between dreams flying home at dusk and colours that have gone pale. It cannot remember the way back home - quite literally, the singer has even forgotten which direction home is - because what it is really looking for is a moment that has already passed.
Yet the song refuses despair. Its remedy is small and practical: let the wandering planes of error land, let the night find its own sleep, and wherever your eyes are pulled, "bhalobasho tumi abar nijeke" - love yourself again. In the context of Shrimati - a film about a woman reclaiming her own life - that closing advice is the song's true hook: the foolish heart is not punished; it is forgiven, and pointed home.
