Dil Hi To Hai · 1963

Nigahen Milane Ko Ji Chahata Hai (a.k.a. Raaz Ki Baat Hai)

Hindi-film eligibility matched; song credits may still need checking

Singer: Asha Bhosle

Music: Roshan, Sahir Ludhianvi

Recording: original

Reported raag

Yaman

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.

Evidence: Named musician's analysis · Punit Jaipal Shah, doctoral thesis (Newcastle University), printed p.102 (PDF p.103), chapter 2, §2.6, comparison of examples 1–3, sentence beginning “Roshan in Nigāhẽ”

Source wording: “Roshan in Nigāhẽ milāne ko jī cāhatā rather craftily makes use of Asha Bhosale’s voice with a husky and sensual voice to compose a romantically teasing Yaman.”
