"The Songs of Bhanushingho Thakur") is a collection of Vaishnava lyrics composed in Brajabuli by Rabindranath Tagore. It was published in 1884. These lyrics, which were earlier brought out in several issues of "Bharati" magazine, were first anthologized in 1884. Later, Tagore described composing these songs in his reminiscences "Jiban Smriti".
