This morning I was listening to this morning Raaga, called Ahir Bhairav. Sharing the recording of this raag by one of the most eminent figure in Indian Classical Music, “Ustad Rashid Khan”. It is a old raga obtained by the combination of two ragas, Ahiri & Bhairav. It belongs to the Bhairav Thaat. Its first part (poorvang) has the Bhairav ang and the second part has kafi or harpriya ang. Jati is sampoorna – sampoorna. Similar raga in Hindustani music is Anand Bhairav. The bandish below has also been used in a song in the movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, featuring Salman Khan and Ashwarya Rai.

I may not reach the heights I seek,
My untried strength may fail me ;
Or, half-way up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me.
But though that place I never gain,
Herein lies comfort for my pain–
I will be worthy of it.
Despite my earnest labor;
I may not triumph in success,
I may not grasp results that bless
The effort of my neighbor
But though my goal I never see
This thought shall always dwell with me–
I will be worthy of it.
The golden glory of Love’s light
May never fall on my way ;
My path may always lead through night,
Like some deserted by-way
But though life’s dearest joy I miss
There lies a nameless strength in this–
I will be worthy of it.
