well many people may think that it must have been written for a dulhan going to husband house.
But the real story is , this Thumri was written by Wajid Ali Shah (last nawab or Awadh) when he was exiled to Calcutta from Lucknow.

Yeh Thumri Nawab Wajid Ali Shah ki likhi hui hai, jinka takhallus Qaiser
aur kahiN Akhtar milta hai. "His Bhairavi thumri "Babul mora Naihar chhooto
jaay" has been sung by several prominent singers, but the version most
remembered is by Kundan Lal Saigal for the 1930s movie Street Singer. In a
strange manner this sad song epitomises the pain and agony of the poet king
himself when he was exiled from his beloved Lucknow." ( Wikipedia)

@DharniBS this has already been uploaded. it is the song "hairat-e nazaara
aakhir ban gayi raanaaiyan" [the transliteration may differ, but look up
"hairat-e-nazaara"]. there is no video to the movie karwan-e hayaat
however, and im not 100% sure whether it is one of the movies which is part
of the bunch from the silent era, the 1930s and some of the 1940s which
were lost to a large fire which destroyed original film reels.

@mahakavi i am just 26 and i am not indian but i learnt hindi and urdu coz
my grandpa was in india and wanted me to learn these languages. man saigal
sahib is a god. i used "is" coz he is not dead he is alive by his voice and
in the hearts of admirers. Wajid Ali Shah made the art of thumri but i am
sure Saigal Sahib sang this way better than him

of view.KLS remains the best ever filmi singer in the field of light
musicn& light classical music till today.
