Flute used : G#

A pretty long Qawwali type song this is.  Took me 2 days to complete its notations.  All the 12 Swars and all the 3 octaves are used in this song. So, it may prove to be a bit difficult song for the beginners, but as they say, practice can make one perfect.  Give it a try.  Good luck!
