General discussion of Bihag

* Ai Dil Beqarar Jhum
* Banke Chakori Gori, Jhum Jhum Nachegi
* Boliye Surili Boliyan
  • Film - Grih Pravesh
  • Year - 1980
  • Tal - Kaherava
  • Music Director(s) - Kanu Roy
  • Singer(s) - Bhupinder, Sulakshana Pandit
  • Comments - This is generaly a pretty good example of Bhihag.  It does occasionally go out of rag but the basic chaiya of Bihag is fairly well displayed.

* Chalenge Tir Jab Dil Par
  • Film - Kohinoor
  • Year - 1960
  • Tal - Kaherava
  • Music Director(s) - Naushad
  • Singer(s) - Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd. Rafi
  • 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

* Suhani Beriya Beeti Jay
  • Film - Milan
  • Year - 1946
  • Tal - Kaherava
  • Music Director(s) - Anil Biswas
  • Singer(s) - Parul Ghosh
  • 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
  • Film - Umrao Jaan
  • Year - 1981
  • Tal - Kaherava
  • Music Director(s) - Khaiyam
  • Singer(s) - Asha Bhonsle
  • Comments - Don't use this to try and figure out the structure of Bihag.  It is a nice song, but not a particularly good example of Bihag.  It just barely has enough element of Bihag to be included in this list.
