Babul Mora, Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaye

Babul Mora, Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaye,
Babul Mora, Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaye,

Chaar Kahar Mil Mori, Doliya Sajayi Re,
Mora Apna Begana, Chhooto Jaye,
Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaye,

Angana To Parbat Bhayo, Dyudi Bhayi Videsh,
Le Babul Ghar Aapna, Main Chali Piya Ke Desh

 Lyrics: Nawab Wajid Ali Shah

बाबुल मोरा, नैहर छूटो ही जाए...

 
चार कहार मिल, मोरी डोलिया सजावें (उठायें)
मोरा अपना बेगाना छूटो जाए...

नैहर छूटो ही जाए...

आँगना तो पर्बत भयो और देहरी भयी बिदेश
जाए बाबुल घर आपनो मैं चली पीया के देश...

बाबुल मोरा ...

 *****The song was written by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the 19th-century Nawab of Awadh as a lament when he was exiled from his beloved Lucknow by the British Raj before the failed Rebellion of 1857, where he uses the metaphor of bidaai (bride's farewell) of a bride from her father's (babul) home, and his own banishment from his beloved Lucknow, to far away Calcutta, while he spent the rest of his years.
