Malkauns bandish taught to my mom

राग मालकौंस - राग वर्णन

तब मालकौन्स गुणी चतुर गाय -२
जब ग म ध नि को कोमल बनाए
जब ग म ध नि को बिक़रत बनाए
रब मालकौंस गुणी चतुर गाय||ध्रू||

मेल करत भैरव मध्यम सुर
औन्श समय नित त्रितिय करे प्रहर
री प वर्जित ओढ़व बनाए ||१||


Another cheez taught to my mom when she was a kid. I learnt just listening to her sing it.
Meaning - 
A talented artist can sing Malkauns when he / she can make the swaras G, M Dha Ni Komal.
it is a raag to be sung at the third prahar and it is a odhav type of raag with R and P missing.

Yadunandana jhani dhav naa. - Bhairavi

बंदिश - राग - भैरवी
ताल - त्रिताल (तीन ताल)
------------------------------------

यदुनन्दना झनि धाव ना
पळ धीर ना, अधिरा मना ||धृ||

भाव सागरी, मती बावरी
छळती जिवा कटू भावना ||१||

I have grown up listening to this cheez or bandish in Raag Bhairavi from my mom. It is an old and a rare one and she sings it so melodiously. (some wordings might need correction as this is from her memory when she learnt it almost 50 years ago!)
