One correction:Here in the song, the notation of the part “Pyara sa chamatkar hun” is MM|M|GR-NS|R instead of MMM|G|R-NR|S, rest is all OK as the tune of that line is not the same as the notation of the part “Sabke sapne sach mai karoon” fully

Yes, A dot (.) before a note means that the note is in Mandra Saptak, or Udara Saptak. Similarly, an apostrophe (‘) after a note means that the note is in Taar Saptak, or Tara Saptak and a note with neither a dot before it in such a case, nor an apostrophe after it in such a case, means the note is in Madhya Saptak, or Mudara Saptak, and that note neither needs to be played softer on your flute, nor needs to be played sharper in your flute, you can just play the note normally

ये दिल और उनकी …गीत क्षितिज से परे प्रकृति के आलौकिक चितेरे ईश्वररूपी प्रियतम के भुजपाश में आनंदित रमणीय की अभिव्यक्ति को वास्तव में अख्तर साहब ने जां निसार कर मानवीयकरण की जो संकल्पना की है उसे पंडित जयदेव के तंत्रिक (जलतरंग) कलाबाजीं ने अंतरात्मा के एक-एक तार को झंकृत कर कल्पनातीत पारलौकिक यात्रा का आभास कराया हैं।
‘धड़कते हैं दिल इतनी आजादियों से ……वाकई…. धड़कन पर उसी प्रकार किसी का वश नहीं है जितना पवन, नदी, झरने, कलरव पर… । प्राची की किरण जहां पर्वतों पर सर्वप्रथम अनुरक्त है वहीं लयबद्ध सरिताओं पर मंद पवन का उर्मिल चुम्बन है। गीत में किरण स्त्रीलिंग और पर्वत पुर्लिंग जबकि पवन पुर्लिंग और नदियां स्त्रीलिंग का संकेत है, जिनके परस्परर अनुराग से सृष्टि का संवरण होता है।
लिपटते ये पेड़ों से … अंतरे में तरुवरों से मेघों का आलिंगन और उसके अवलम्ब के पीछे क्षण-क्षण में बादलों में चन्द्रमा के छिपने-निकलने से प्रकाश और निशा की कलाबाजी का दुर्लभ विषमयोग की अद्भुत संकल्पना को लता जी की ताल कहरवा राग पहाड़ी पर विरहिणी सुर मानव और प्रकृति के मध्य तादात्म्य स्थापित करता है।….राकेश कुमार वर्मा 7999682930
