Singer : Kishore Kumar
Lyrics : Neeraj
Music : S D Burman
Movie : Gambler (1971)
Raag : Bhairavi

Flute scale used : G

What a composition! What a rendition! Such songs can never grow old.  

Although this song is based on Raag Bhairavi, in which all the 12 notes are used including four Komal swars ( r g d n), I have produced the notations for easiness to play on flute, by taking low octave Pancham as its first note so that I could avoid Komal swars.   With this transposition, this song would be a little tricky to play on Bansuri if you are not well versed with playing komal Re and komal Ni together.  If you compromise on those parts where these two notes are to be played in sync, then you will never get the right mood of this song.  So practice playing these two komal swars again and again before attempting to play this song.  But I tell you, once you get a hang of this song, you wont get tired of playing this melodious tune over and over again.  Good luck!
