The song means:
बाबुल मोरा, नैहर छूटो ही जाए
चार कहार मिल, मोरी डोलिया सजावें (उठायें)
मोरा अपना बेगाना छूटो जाए | बाबुल मोरा ...
आँगना तो पर्बत भयो और देहरी भयी बिदेश
जाए बाबुल घर आपनो मैं चली पीया के देश | बाबुल मोरा ...
O My father! I'm leaving (father's) home.
The four bearers lift my palanquin (here it can also mean the four coffin bearers).
I'm leaving those who were my own.
Your courtyard is now like a mountain, and the threshold, a foreign country.
I leave your house, father, I am going to my beloved's country.
Enjoy.

Saigal could evoke pathos like nobody else. This song is from the movie Shahjehan. Music composed by Naushad and Lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
jab dil hi toot gayaa, jab dil hi toot gayaa
ham ji ke kya karenge, ham ji ke kya karenge
jab dil hi toot gayaa - 2
ulafat ka diya ham ne, is dil men jalaaya tha - 2
ummeed ke phuulon se, is ghar ko sajaaya tha - 2
ik bhedi loot gaya, ik bhedi loot gaya
ham ji ke kya karenge, ham ji ke kya karenge
jab dil hi tto gaya
(maaloom na tha itani, mushkil hain meri raahen
mushkil hain mer raahen ) - 2
aramaan ke bahe aansoo, hasarat ne bhari aahen - 2
har saathi chhut gaya, har saathi chhut gaya
ham ji ke kya karenge, ham ji ke kya karenge
jab dil hi toot gaya
Previous threads in the series:
I know Star Trek was always progressive but this nod to the trans community was really ahead of it’s time.
Edit -
Data: “I decided to allow my child to choose its own sex and appearance.”
This was 1990, I don’t think any other mainstream television series would have had a parent say something like that.
I think it’s commendable and it seems a shame to downplay it. I’m not trans myself, I’m not “the younger generation” (I’m 38), I’m not interested in or influenced by identity/gender politics. I just thought it was cool Star Trek did that.
