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 Vishwas Nerurkar, Madan Mohan: Ultimate Melody.

Evidence: Named musician's analysis · Suneel Kumar Gupta, doctoral thesis on Madan Mohan (Banaras Hindu University, 2015), ch.7, printed p.342 (PDF p.6)

Source wording: “9 दादरा ताल में राग बागेश्वरी में निबद्ध ‘फिर वही शाम वही ग़म वही तन्हाई है’ के साथ तलत के स्वर में एक धँुधली शाम के अकेलोपन को जो छू जाने वाली तस्वीर मदन मोहन ने खींची वह तो बेमिसाल ही है।”
