It is hard to convey Raga Kamod’s spirit through the written medium. Let’s listen to this old yet fabulous Drut bandish in the Raga Kamod composed by Bade Ghulam Ali Khansaheb aka Sabarang-Piya
“Chand dey mora anchara / ghar jaane dey maika dekhat saaba lugava// (sthayi)//
Aaba ki baar mohe jaane do Sabarang/ Bala javun tope mitaava// antara//”
Meaning of the song:
Please let go of my stole (dupatta)/ Let me go home//All people around are staring at us! Just let go of me this once/(Oh dear beloved) All- coloured or Rainbow-hued One/ I shall ever be beholden or besotted with you!!
