Reported raag

Mishra Bhairavi

Not yet reviewed by a musician

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.374 (PDF p.38)

Source wording: “‘हुस्न हाज़िर है मुहब्बत की सज़ा पाने को’ (लता) की मिश्र भैरवी तो इतनी लोकप्रिय हुई कि न सिर्फ ‘बिनाका गीतमाला’ का चोटी का गीत बनी, बल्कि 1977 के लोक सभा चुनावांे में इस धुन को प्रयुक्त कर प्रचारात्मक उपयोग भी किया गया।”
