Sargam notations for the song Kisi Nazar Ko Tera Intezar Aj Bhi Hai

Singer : Asha Bhosle, Bhupendra Singh,
Lyricist : Hasan Kamaal
Music Director : Bappi Lahiri
Movie : Aitbaar (1985)

Flute used for notations : F#

This is a lengthy song with five Antaras (Stanzas).  Although the tune of these stanzas are similar, but the interlude music in between is different. So, there are four different tunes as interlude music in this song.  I have tried to write the Sargam notations for the song as well as prelude and interlude music pieces also.  

Following notations are just basic.  You may have to improvise as per the actual song with Meend and Murkis.  Pay attention to play Komal Swars – Komal Rishabh (r), Komal Gandhar (g) and, Komal Nishad (n).
