Raga Kalawati || Episode 337 || Bandish 353 || 1001 BANDISHES || Manali Bose

In this expressive composition, the nāyikā pleads with her beloved to listen to her heartfelt appeal. She urges him to abandon the company of the rival (sautan) and return with sincerity and devotion. Her pain deepens as her words go unheard, leaving her wounded by neglect and emotional betrayal. The bandish beautifully conveys viraha, mān, and gentle shringāra rasa, blending emotional intensity with the sparkling, playful movement of Kalāwati in drut laya.
Rāga Kalāwati’s bright pentatonic character enhances the urgency and charm of the plea, allowing swift taans and graceful melodic phrases to mirror the restless emotions of the protagonist.

Composed by Pt Dhrubatara Joshiji
Sung by Manali Bose

LYRICS

Piya maan le hamri baat
Ab chhoD de sautan ka saath.

Hamra kahaa tum maanat naahi
Kaahe karat ho hum sang ghaat.

पिया मानले हमरी बात
अब छोड़ दे सौतन का साथ ।।

हमरा कहा तुम मानत नाही
काहे करत हो हम संग घात ।।
