This song is in the hindustani raga KAFI, which is not to be confused with the carnatic raga Kapi. It is the hindustani equivalent to our Karaharapriya, in scale, and there ends the similarity. We have KAFI thaat, which is one of the principal ten thaats in Hindustani music.

This is a lovely song. I have heard the same tune in Jagjit Singh's wife, Chitra Singh using in one of her ghazals. Or, did this song come later, I don't know. But the raaga is beautiful. Thank you!
