Sargam notations for the evergreen romantic old Hindi song ‘Pyar Diwana Hota Hai’. Took me a while to produce Sargam notes for this song including the Prelude and Interlude music pieces.  For this song also, I started with it ‘Antara’ and then built up other notes on the lyrics.  I used C# flute for the purpose.

ANTARA 2:
(Apply same notations of 1st Antara)

dare sharam se
najar ajee laakh churaye,
koee sanam se
aa hee jaataa hain jis pe,
dil aanaa hotaa hain

ANTARA 3:
(Apply same notations of 1st Antara)
suno kisee shaayar ne ye,
kahaa bahot khub
manaa kare duniyaan lekin

wo chhalak jaataa hai,
jo paimaanaa hotaa hain
