The health condition of Nazrul began to deteriorate from 1926 and at the same time his economic condition faced a heavy onslaught.But he was overwhelmed with excitement for a new creative activity.He gave the name of his son Bulbul but he himself was becoming "bulbul of songs".This was the first time in Bengali vocal music world that it was wearing a new ornament known as "Gazal". On 8th Agrahayan of 1333, he wrote a Gazal, "Bagichay bubuli Tui, Phool Shakhate Disne Aaji dol", on 28th agrahayan he wrote, "ase basanta Phoolabane", . This was the first Gazal published in "Saogat"
Khan Muhammad Maiuddin ( the eminent creator  of Nazrul's book) wrote;
" the famous Dancer of Egypt, sung a song in the Alfred Hall and on hearing the song  Nazrul wrote with the same tune the song, "Ase basanta phool bane" .
Nazrul submitted his first Gazal to "Saogat". This song was written following the tune of the Urdhu Gazal sung by Miss Farida. The source of inspiration of his creation of Gazal had several opinios. The friend of Nazrul, Nalini Kanta Sarkar in his book " Nazrul Islam" wrote;
" At this time Nazrul stayed for one day in my house whentwo Hindusthani Street Beggar, one male and the other female, were moving singing Gazal with Harmonium on shoulder. Nazrul asked them to come to my drawing room and heard many Gazal songs from them......He began to write Gazal from this time....."
His first Gazal was " Bagichay Bubuli Tui,....".

He wrote a letter from Krishnanagar on 20.12.26 to Braja Behari Barman of Barman publishing house, " Even today I'm bedridden. I'm suffering severely from the pains of my disease and for other tensions. Amongst which economic thought is the foremost one.Only God (Allah) knows how I'm passing my days. I have received Rs. 15/- sent by you though I have asked for Rs. 25/-. Any way, if you can send more that will help a lot. You are like my younger brother, I have nothing to say more."Nazrul wrote a poem "Daridra" which he could understand from the core of his heart.
Nazrul wrote another letter to the editor of "Kalikalam', Muralidhar Basu, which bore testimony to his talent untouched by all earthly affairs. the letter of Nazrul reads as follows;  

Illness or financial stringency could not prohibit the creation of Gazal by Nazrul.
