Singers: Hemanta Kumar
Lyricist: Shailendra (Shankardas Kesarilal)
Music : Kishore Kumar
Movie: Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein (1964)

Flute used for notations : G#

This is one of the rare songs composed by Kishore Kumar.  I wonder whether we have been deprived of our fortune to have more such gems from Kishore Kumar as Music Director.  Meaningful lyrics by Shankardas Kesarilal a.k.a. Shailendra, brilliant composition by Kishore Da and equally magical rendition by Hemant Kumar.  You just have to listen to this song to believe what I’m trying to say.

It wasn’t easy for me to figure out the notations of this song as the tune fluctuates from very low to high octaves.  But after a dozen of trials I finally managed to write down the notations as under :

Rahii | tu | mat | ruk | jaanaa,
,P S | G | PP | D P | DD~G

tuufan | se | mat | ghabaraanaa
,P S | G | PP | D P DD~G

kabhi | to | milegi | terii | manzil

kahin | dur | gagan | ki
