Suman Wali ji has soulfully sung the song, Raazrazi, that has been written decades ago and still hummed by almost all of us.

Lalitji gave a try to Zaakh Nandgurini, a song dedicated to Aknandun.

This soulful Bhajan has not been authored by any person but is one of the outpourings from the mouth of a spiritually elevated soul during the trances in which he would often go while performing pooja in the early dawns every day but without being aware of and without remembering afterwards about his outpouring. His name was Samsar Chand and he belonged to village Nunar of Tehsil Ganderbal in Kashmir. Hailing from a family of a farmers and being almost an illiterate as also a bachelor, nobody took him seriously. Hardly anybody outside his mohalla knew him. Only a few people of wisdom knew him as a spiritually elevated soul though he never boasted or exhibited any symptom of being spiritually elevated. The exact number of Bhajans which have come out from his mouth are not known but they must be in hundreds as it was a routine affair with him during his trances for years together. Only a few of his Bhajans were put in black & white by one of his close relatives as and when those came from his mouth during the trances. Now whom should we call the author of these Bhajans is a mute question.

Kartay aes peth meharbani,
Wath havtey mata kheer bhawani
Beh wanhey chey panin sari kahani ,
Wath haavtey mata kheer bhawani ..
Zeith athams peth chenis yivaan ,

Gasch han na vani kuni raaj rani ,
Wath havtey mata kheer bhawani!!
Chong zalye te kandh beh khaariye,
Melnas mata beh koota praryeh,
Naavas maye gasim gumnaami ,
Wath haavtey mata kheer bhawani
Mat thavta bhaktan door,
Melnich arzi wanye karte poor,
Kaastey gam teh pareshani ,
Wath haavtey mata kheer bhawani ….
