More Kanha jo aye palat ke… is a Thumri style song based on Raag Pilu. Songs in Thumri generallly have many harkate (ornamentations), which are not easy to notate.  Hence, I’ve given below the basic notes of this song, which should be mastered first, and thereon you can improvise to build up the ‘harkats’ as needed.  First two lines of 2nd Antara has different tune than the 1st Antara, but then those revert to the original tune. 

Enjoy!
