Sargam notations for Bengali Song : Eyi je nodi jaye sagore
Singer : Kishore Kumar

This is a very popular and soulful melody sung by one and only Kishore Kumar.  The song is a philosophical depiction of life narrated via a river.

With very simple notes, this song is very easy to play on flute and other instruments.  I have tried to reproduce the sargam on my C scale flute.
