Karuna Suno Shyam Mori - Meera Bhajan (Pt. Ravi Shankar composition)

Karuna Suno Shyam Mori - Me... Lyrics & Chords

Was enthralled by this song sung so sublimely by Vani Jayaram ji, and felt like attempting it.
I have cut and paste original soundtrack with a tabla/tanpura track created by me in Addha/Sitarkhani Taal on Scale C.
Please bear with any latency errors.

Hindi Song: Karuna Suno Shyam Moree
Movie or Album: Meera
Original Singer(s): Vani Jairam
Music Director(s): Pt. Ravi Shankar
Lyricist(s): Meerabai
Based on raag Poorvi,
Taal/Theka : Sitarkhani/Addha

Hindi Lyrics/Meaning
-——————————

karuna suno shyam moree, mai toh hoi rahee cheri tori
karuna suno shyam moree

O Shyam, please hear my anguish
As I always remain thy servant,

tumare karan sab sukh chhodya, abb mohe kyon tarasa ho
viraha vyatha lagee ur antar, so tum aae bujha

For thy sake, all comforts did I reliquish…
Why do you make me pine?
Come and please extinguish
The pain in my deserted heart…

karuna suno shyam moree
O Lord, please hear my anguish…

You have so beautifully distilled the quintessential sweetness of Poorvi in this beautiful rendition Sudha. The majesty of this Raag certainly warrants a sedate and measured pace which you have given it so aptly.
Great maestro is Vani Jayaram ji!
And you have done full justice to this song.
Really marvellous.
Kind regards,
Giri.

Sudha, sorry for being late! What an amazing choice and outstanding presentation!!! Kudos. I was listening to the original song a month back while reseaching Purvi for a Marathi bhajan. Vani Jayram was an amazing talent, especially in this movie. Your presentation was sublime and hit the mark!
