  • small letters Komal Swars (Flat Notes)
  • with # [hash] or ^ [exponent] = Tivra Madhyam (M# / M^)

This is one of the best gazals of Hariharan. It is based on raag Malgunji. which generates from Thaat Kafi. In this raag both forms of Gandhar (G; g) and Nishad (N, n) are used. I am writing down the basic notations for this gazal without digging deep into the “Harkats” that Hariharan ji has rendered into it. I am sure once you get a hang of this gazal with these notations, you will be further able to improvise and bring in those “Harkats” into your playing.
