Kishori Amonkar: Bageshree Bandish

Would anyone please know the bandish that she sings here? It is differently labelled in different YouTube videos but broadly as a variation of "birahaa naa jalaa".

I much love two of the Bageshree bandishes that she sang often and know the full lyrics of, viz. "आज सहयो ना जाये बिरहा" and "एरी माई साजन नही आये" (the latter part in this video).

I have tried to look for this but have not been able to find anything, though in one of her old interviews to Mrinal Pande she talks about this, but only uses the phrase that is transcribed as 'रे बिरहा न जरा मारे जियरा को'.

The two Bageshree bandishes that she otherwise sings:

आज सहयो ना जाये बिरहा
ना जानु कैसे मिलूं री मितवा

aaj sahayo naa jaaye birhaa
naa jaanuu kaise miluuN rii mitvaa |

एरी माई साजन नही आये
कौनसी मोसे भूल परी ।

मन की नगरिया पी बिन सूनी
का करु सजनी असुवन लागी झरी ॥

e-rii maaii saajan nahii aaye
kaunsii mo'se bhuul parii

man kii nagariyaa pii bin suunii
kaa karuu sajnii asuvan laagii jharii

Ok, I got this thanks to Nicolas Magriel and Lalita du Perron's The Songs of Khayal:

बिरहा ना जरा
मोरे हिया (जियरा?) को पिया बिन
तरप तरप उमर निकसी जाए
जाए कहियो दुखवा मोरा
उन बिन कछु ना सुहाए
