By: Bhishma Kukreti
There have been traditional Garhwali and Kumaoni Folk Songs related pain, struggle and low social status in the societies. These types of songs were usually regional types those did not go beyond a particular territory. This author in his childhood heard a folk song about a widow leaving her children and living with other already married man. The widow did get tension free in the new home neither from society nor from new husband. She remarried third time but here, too she did not get comfortable social and family life. Initial lines were very painful depicting painful life of a widow. However, the said folk song related to widow died immediately and never reached beyond a particular territory.
The following modern folk song is successful in depicting the life of a widow. There is pain of separation for widow in the folk song. There is stress in the life of widow in this folk song. The folk song depicts a very low social status in a widow life.

हे विधाता कनि रूठि मीकू
दारुण दुःख कनु घाई तीख
बाली उमरम पौड़ि छै हल्दी
स्वामी जी छोड़ीगै मी तैं जल्दी
स्वामी नि रया कनु भाग फूटू
गाड़ि नथुली चरेऊ टूटू
स्वामी नि रया कनु भाग फूटू
आज से रांड कु नाउ प्वाड़ू
क्वी नी राई दगड़ू धाड़ू
O God! Why did you displease from me?
O God! Why did you give such pain to me?
When I was in teen age, father married me
Very soon husband left me
Husband died and my luck too left me
All may ornaments and jewels were taken out from me
Husband died and my luck too left me
Now, just after husband’s death people started calling ‘Rand’ to me
Husband died and my luck too left me
