@operadood Habibuddin saab ka ek rela hai... jab wo baja te the to aisa lagta tha jaise Kabootar bol rahe hai...

@operadood it is based in a 16 beat taal called Teentaal. If you can't hear the Sarangi nagma you can figure that out from the compositions Zakirji is playing too (but you'd need to understand tabla for that of course :)
