  • Comments - Although this is a nice song, it is possibly not the best example of Bihag.  The basic chaiya is not really displayed clearly.  Furthermore there is a lot of mixing of non-bihag elements.  However the basic Pakad of Pa Má Ga Ma Ga is displayed enough that we can consider this song to be Bihag-ish

  • Comments - This is actually a mixture of Hamir and Bihag.  One might almost think of this as Hamir with the "Pa Mà Ga Ma Ga" quality of Bihag thrown in.  One certainly would not want to use this as an exercise in teaching either Hamir or Bihag, but it is really quite nice to listen to.
*Tere Pyar Mein Dildar
*Tere Sur Aur Mere Geet
*Yeh Kya Jagah Hai Doston
*Zindagi Ke Safar Men Guzar Jate Hain Jo Makam
