about

Our nayika now comes face to face with her shyam. She abandons her girlish demeanour and all her coquettishness and asks him to step aside from her path. It is almost as if he is a distraction in her personal journey. There is something brutally honest about this thumri that makes the ornamentation typical to thumris seem frivolous. This thumri refuses to fit into any gharana. It demands a more restrained presentation and just pure swaras of the artist. First documented by Pt. V.D. Paluskar and sung only by Pt. Kumar Gandharva, this is the most unconventional episode of our story.

lyrics

शाम, डगर मोरी छांडो
बिंध जाय हो रे नैनं में |

जो होरी खेलन की तुमरे मन में
तो ले चलो कुंजन में
भूल जाओगे तुम सब चतुराई लाला
मारूंगी सैनन से |
