Singer : Lata Mangeshkar
Lyricist : Naqsh Lyallpuri
Music Director : Jaidev
Movie : Tumhare Liye (1978)

SCALE : B

This song is based on Raag Shivranjani which follows the following notes : S R g P D S’…. S’ D P g R S…. Which means, throughout the song only one swar would be vikrti, i.e., Komal Gandhar (g). 

But, as I have mentioned in my other blogs also that, music directors often take liberty to deviate from the set notes in a Raag to add flavour to their compositions. Here in this song also, there is a subtle use of Komal Dhaiwat (d) and Komal Nishad (n) at some places, which is otherwise not allowed in Raag Shivranjani. 

A good song to practice ‘Meend’, ‘Murkis’ and yes, Raag Shivranjani. Enjoy!
