करनाट को राग औडव गायो
हंसध्वनि रैन में संगत रेनि पसा ।
थाट बिलावल कल्याण कोउ कहे
शुध्द सुर मध त्यागि संगत गप रे सा ॥
गरे निप सुर सोहे शंकरा झलकत
'रामरंग' रे चमक वादि सुर करत सा ॥
Meaning
Hamsadhwani is essentially a Carnatic Raga, it is a pentatonic scale which is sung in the second time slot of night. It contains note structure - R \'N \'P S. It belongs to Bilawal Thaat while some believe that it should be included in Kalyan Thaat. It contains all natural notes. Forth and Sixth notes are omitted. The catch phrase is GPRS. The beautiful combination of GRNP in this Raga gives a fleeting glimpse of Raga Shankara. The composer Ramashreya Jha \'Ramrang\' says that R is an important nyaas swar and the vaadi swar is S.
