"Notuner Gan" (Bengali: নতুনের গান [ˈnotuneɾ gan]; "The Youth Song"), more popularly known by its incipit as "Chol Chol Chol",[a] is the national march (Bengali: রণ-সঙ্গীত) of Bangladesh,[1][2] whose lyrics and tune were written by national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam in 1928. It was first published in the newspaper Shikha (শিখা Flame) with the title Notuner Gaan (নতুনের গান The Song of Youth) and was later included in Nazrul's book Shondha (সন্ধ্যা The Evening). The Bangladeshi government adopted this song as the national marching song of Bangladesh on 13 January 1972 in its first meeting after the country's independence.[2] The first lines of the song are played at most military ceremonies or functions. The Daily Star has referred to it as the national military song.[3] It was proposed for the national anthem of Bangladesh in 1975.[4]
