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.101 (PDF p.102), chapter 2, §2.6, example 3, Zarā sī āhaṭ hotī haĩ, discussion after figure 2.6

Source wording: “In this song, it is Lata Mangeshkar’s treatment of rāga Yaman that gives it a quality of anticipation.”
