Bandish Text
English / Roman
baabula moraa naihara ChooTyohee jaae
chaara kahaara mila moree Doliyaa sajaave
moraa apanaa begaanaa ChooTyo jaae |
aMganaa to parabata bhayo
aura deharee bhayee bidesa
le baabula ghara apano
mai chalee piyaa ke desa ||
Devnagri
बाबुल मोरा नैहर छूट्योही जाए
चार कहार मिल मोरी डोलिया सजावे
मोरा अपना बेगाना छूट्यो जाए ।
अंगना तो परबत भयो
और देहरी भयी बिदेस
ले बाबुल घर अपनो
मै चली पिया के देस ॥
Meaning
O My father! I\'m leaving home. The four bearers lift my palanquin (here it can also mean the four coffin bearers). I\'m leaving those who were my own. Your courtyard is now like a mountain, and the threshold, a foreign country. I leave your house, father, I am going to my beloved\'s country. (from wikipedia)
Notes
This Thumari was composed by Wajid Ali Shah 'Akhtar Piya' in the pain of separation from his hometown Lucknow and he was exiled at MatiyaBurj, Kolkata.
