In the year 1930, an Indian film, titled "Street Singer" had the following thumri, sung by the great Kundan Lal Saigal, who was also the main protagonist of the film. 
"बाबुल मोरा, नैहर छूटो ही जाए / 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 ..."
The song was immensely popular at that time, and has remained a popular thumri ever since.
