A named writer on music analysed the song in this raag. This records what the source says; a musician has not checked the recording note by note. The source quotes Pankaj Rag, Dhunon ki Yatra.

Evidence: Named musician's analysis · Suneel Kumar Gupta, doctoral thesis on Madan Mohan (Banaras Hindu University, 2015), ch.7, printed p.346 (PDF p.10)

Source wording: “ाचे’’ (मन्ना डे) और ख़माज के सुरों को लोकर ‘अपने सुरों में मेरे सुरों को बसा लो’ (मन्ना डे, उषा मंगेशकर) जैसी सशक्त रचनाएँ थीं, तो दूसरी ओर आधुनिक अंदाज में बेहद कशिश-भरा ‘fंज़दगी के ग़म भुलाने के लिए शराब का सहारा मैंने लो लिया’ (मन्ना डे) यह रचना तो मदन मोहन की पसंदीदा रचना थी”
