"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 (Bengali: শিখা; "Flame") with the title Notuner Gaan (Bengali: নতুনের গান; "The Song of Youth") and was later included in Nazrul's book Sandha (Bengali: 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]
