Seven Svaras - A Celebration Of Song

Seven Svaras - A Celebration Of Song

1 min
598


Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni

The seven svaras

Interchangeably,

Continuously, tunefully

Recurring and repeating

In enthusiastic euphony,

Sometimes together, chiming

In harmonious accord,

Or they flow one after the other

Never jangling nor jostling but

Forming new and resonant melodies

That linger in our ear, so we succumb

And join in singing - or hum along -

With each song chorus of such beauty

“Oh ankh Uthi!”


Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni

The seven svaras

So effortlessly combine together

Making musical magic

That bubbles from a well -

Whose source is so old

That even the wisest scholars

Can only agree it is a mystery –

These seven notes are sung,

Plucked, whistled and trumpeted

In a never-ending throng of songs

By a million million musicians

And yet each one’s miraculously unique.


The svaras spin a spell we cannot break

That the satara casts upon the cobra

And the lover lavishes upon the beloved.

When we listen to the music,

Notes, musician, listener are as one:

‘Main toh teri sai yaan’
