Set your root key (Sa) on Safed 2 (D). Notes marked with dot below (.N, .D) belong to Mandra Saptak (lower octave), while plain notes are Madhya Saptak.
For optimal pitch matching with the original song, use an D Natural (Medium) Bansuri. Notes marked with an apostrophe (') belong to Taar Saptak (high octave) and require tighter embouchure and faster air velocity. Lowercase notes indicate Komal swaras (half-hole covering).
Also suited for vocal riyaz — sing the swaras under each lyric line at a slow tempo.

How do I read the Sargam notation for Shayad?
Sargam uses Indian swara names — Sa (सा), Re (रे), Ga (ग), Ma (म), Pa (प), Dha (ध), Ni (नी). A dot below a swara (e.g. .N) means the lower octave (Mandra Saptak); an apostrophe above (e.g. S') means the higher octave (Taar Saptak). Komal (flat) and teevra (sharp) variants are marked in the notation. Follow each lyric line with the swaras underneath and practice slowly on harmonium or bansuri.
