It is a pentatonic melody (i.e. containing only 5 svaras) is composed of the following svaras : Sa Ga Ma Pa Dha.[1] It is performed very rarely. Zeelaf also employs the subtle GM -> S meend. It is from the Asavari Thaat.[2] But it is played in the Bhairav aang also. Zeelaf has been used by Qawwals and Khayals.
