In Ram - The Musical, Babul Mora is played as Ram and Sita depart from life. It is a beautiful ballad in Raag Bhairavi, composed by a Nawab in the mid 19th century and is traditionally performed at the end of classical Indian music concerts. It’s quite apt for Sita returning to Mother Earth.

Lyrics
Translated into English
O My father! I'm leaving home.
O My father! I'm leaving home.
The four (palanquin) bearers lift my palanquin.
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.
