FOREVER MOHD RAFI:

 

 

THE FINAL YEARS:

 

Kishore Kumar overshadowed Rafi as the most sought-after singer in Bollywood in 1970s, starting with the film Aradhana (1969). The music for Aradhana was composed by S. D. Burman, and he had used Rafi as the male playback voice for the first two recorded duets, Baaghon Mein Bahaar Hai and Gunguna Rahen Hain Bhanwre. After these two recordings, S D Burman fell ill and his son and assistant, R D Burman, took over the recordings. R D Burman got Kishore Kumar to sing the solos Roop Tera Mastana and Mere Sapnon Ki Rani, which led to Kishore Kumar's popularity. Kishore Kumar's rise and R D Burman's patronage to him sidelined Rafi's career in early 1970s. Some also say that Rafi was advised against singing at the Hajj Pilgrimage, so he deliberately spent the next few months away from the recording studios by living in London.</h6>

 

From 1970-1976, Rafi's output was less, but he sang several hit songs during this period. Some of his hit songs in early 1970s were with music directors like L-P, Madan Mohan, R. D. Burman and S. D. Burman. Some of Rafi's popular songs from this period include Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil from Heer Ranjha (1970), Chura Liya Hain Tumne from Yaadon Ki Baarat, Yeh Jo Chilman Hain and Itna to Yaad Hain Mujhe from Mehboob Ki Mehndi, Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho from Hanste Zakhm (1973), Gulabi Aankhen from The Train, Aaj Mausam bada Beimaan hai from Loafer (1973), and Jhilmil Sitaron ka from Jeevan Mrityu (1974).

Rafi made a comeback as a leading playback singer in mid-1970s. In 1974, he won the Film World magazine Best Singer Award for the song Teree Galiyon Mein Na Rakhenge Qadam Aaj Ke Baad (Hawas) composed by Usha Khanna. In 1977, he won both Filmfare Award and the National Award for the song Kya Hua Tera Wada from the movie Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin, composed by R. D. Burman. Rafi did playback for Rishi Kapoor in films like Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Sargam (1979) and Karz (1980). The qawwali Pardah Hai Pardah from Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) was a superhit. Rafi gave many other hit songs in late 1970s, notably for the films Laila Majnu (1976), Apnapan (1978), Qurbani, Dostana (1980) and The Burning Train (1980).

On Thursday, July 31, 1980 after composing the song Shaam phir kyun udaas hai dost for the movie Aas Paas with Laxmikant-Pyarelal (L-P), Rafi asked if he could leave for home. L-P were surprised because Rafi would be the last person to leave the recording session. While leaving, Rafi said once again "OK. I will leave." Rafi died at 10.50 p.m. on the same day due to a massive heart attack. His funeral procession was one of the largest Mumbai ever witnessed.The whole Indian nation mourned his death for a long time and there was public holidays for two days in his honor. Shammi Kapoor, who was shooting outside Mumbai, rushed back to attend his funeral in Mumbai. Later, the Padma Shri Mohammed Rafi Chowk in the Bandra suburb of Mumbai was named after him.

You will have to respond to my hailing
Chale the saath mil kay chalenge saath mil kar

Take away my senses and rendered me unconscious

17) YEH DUNIYA YEH MEHFIL MERE KAAM KI NAHIN

http://www.mastimag.com/download.php?song_id=31749

 

Yeh Duniya, Yeh Mehfil, (Mere Kaam Ki Nahin,)2
This world and its congregation is not any use to me

Kisko Sunavun Haale Dil-e-beqaraar Kaa,
To whom shall I tell the status of my restless heart?,
Bujh Tha Huva Chiraag Hun Apne Mazaar Kaa,
I'm an extinguishing lamp of my tomb
Ay Kaash Bhul Javun, Magar Bhool Tha Nahin,
Wish that I can forget this, but I cannot
Kis Dhoom Se Utha Tha, Janaza Bahaar Kaa
The funeral of my blooming love took place with much pomp

Yeh Duniya, Yeh Mehfil, (Mere Kaam Ki Nahin,)2
This world and its congregation is not any use to me

Apna Patha Mile Na Khabar Yaar Ke Mile,
Neither I found any inkling about my love,
Dushman Ko Bhi Na Aisi Sazaa Pyar Ki Mile,
Even an enemy does not deserve this punishemnt for falling in love
Unko Khuda Mile, Hai Khuda Ki Jeenhe Talaash,
One who seeks God, gets to him
Mujh Ko Bas Ik Jhalak Mere Dil Daar Ki Mile
But I only wish to have a glimplse of my beloved

Yeh Duniya, Yeh Mehfil, (Mere Kaam Ki Nahin,)2
This world and its congregation is not any use to me

Sehera Mein Aake Bhi, Mujh Ko Thikaana Na Mila,
Coming into this wilderness I did not even get a shelter
Gham Ko Bulaane Kaa, Koyi Bahaana Na Mila,
I did not get any excuses to forget my love,
Dil Tarase Jismein Pyar Ko, Kya Samjhun Us Sansaar Ko,
What should I look for in this world when my heart desire of love,
Ik Jeeti Baazi Haar Ke, Mein Dundun Bichde Yaar Ko
Loosing one chance of life, I am now searching for my lost love

Yeh Duniya, Yeh Mehfil, (Mere Kaam Ki Nahin,)2
This world and its congregation is not any use to me

oooooo
Door Nigahon Se Aansun Bahata Hai Koyi,
These tears from my eyes are for someone far away
Kaise Na Jaavun Mein Mujh Ko Bulaata Hai Koyi,
How can I contain myself whils't someone is calling?
Yaa Toote Dil Ko Jod Do, Yaa Sare Bandhan Thod Do,
Either fix my broken heart or break all bondages
Ay Parabbat Rasta De Mujeh, Ay Kaanton Daman Chod Do,
Free me from this path of obstacles and thorns

Yeh Duniya, Yeh Mehfil, (Mere Kaam Ki Nahin,)2
This world and its congregation is not any use to me

Apni aankhon mein basaa kar koyi iqraar karoon
Let me give you a place in my eyes and profess my love for you
Apni aankhon mein basaa kar koyi iqraar karoon
Let me give you a place in my eyes and profess my love for you
Jee mein aata hai ke jee bhar ke tujhe pyaar karoon

I wish I could make passionate love to you
Apni aankhon mein basaa kar koyi iqraar karoon
Let me give you a place in my eyes and profess my love for you

Maine kab tujhse zamaane ki khushi maangi hai
When did I ask you for the world's happiness?
(Ek halki si mere lab ne hansi maangi hai)2
I requested for a slight smile

Saamne tujhko bitha kar tera deedaar karoon
With you in front of me I keep looking at you
Jee mein aata hai ke jee bhar ke tujhe pyaar karoon
I have a strong desire to make passionate love to you
Apni aankhon mein basaa kar koyi iqraar karoon
Let me give you a place in my eyes and profess my love for you

Saath chhute na kabhi tera yeh kasam le loon
Never shall I separate from you, lets take this oath
Har khushi de ke tujhe tere sanam gham le loon
By giving you all the happiness my love, I will take your sorrows
Har khushi de ke tujhe tere sanam gham le loon
By giving you all the happiness my love, i will take your sorrows
Haaye main kiss tarah se pyaar ka izhaar karoon
Oh! How shall I make my confession of love?
Jee mein aata hai ke jee bhar ke tujhe pyaar karoon
I feel like making passionate love to you
Apni aankhon mein basaa kar koyi iqraar karoon
Let me give you a place in my eyes and profess my love for you

BEAUTIFUL SONG, GREAT POETRY:
The Voice of RafiSaab is heavenly in this one.

Paradesiyon ko hai ik din jaanaa
The stranger will have to leave one day
(Paradesiyon se naa ankhiyaan milaanaa)2
Do not ever fall for a stranger

(Sach hii kahaa hai panchhii inako)2
Rightly they are called flighted ones
(Raat ko thehre to ud jain din ko)
They nest for the night and gone in daylight
Aaj yahaan kal baha hai tekhana

(Paradesiyon se naa ankhiyaan milaanaa)2
Do not ever fall for a stranger

(Baagon mein jab jab phuul khilenge)2
when ever the flowers bloom in spring
(Tab tab ye harajaaii milenge)2
then can be seen, these fickle ones
Guzaregaa kaise patajhar kaa zamaanaa
how will I pass the autumn days

Paradesiyon se naa ankhiyaan milaanaa
Do not fall in love with a stranger
Paradesiyon ko hai ik din jaanaa
They will have to leave one day

Paradesiyon se naa ankhiyaan milaanaa
Do not ever fall for a stranger
Paradesiyon se naa ankhiyaan milaanaa
Do not ever fall for a stranger

(Wadiyan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
Jao mere siva tum kaha jaoge)2
the valleys and paths are like my lap and outstretched arms,
go where you will, you will come back to me


Wadiyan mera daaman

(Jab churaoge tan tum kisi baat se)2
when you dart away from me in play
Shaakhe gul chhedegi mere hath se
Instead of my hands, a flower branch may tickle you
Apni hi zulf ko aur ulzaoge
you will play with your tresses and tangle them more

(Wadiyan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
Jao mere siva tum kaha jaoge)2
the valleys and paths are like my lap and outstretched arms,
go where you will, you will come back to me


Wadiyan mera daaman.....

(Jab se milne lagi tumse raahe meri)2
Chand suraj bani do nigahe meri
the moon and the sun became my two eyes
Tum kahi bhi raho tum nazar aaoge
stay anywhere you like, you will be visible to me

(Wadiyan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
Jao mere siva tum kaha jaoge)2
the valleys and paths are like my lap and outstretched arms,
go where you will, you will come back to me

(Choo lene do nazuk hoonton ko
Let it touch your soft lips
Kuch aur nahi hay jaam hay yeh)2
Its nothing but just a glass of wine
Qudrat nay jo hum ko bakhsha hay
Which nature has gifted for us
Wo sab se haseen inaam hay yeh
This is the prettiest of rewards

Choo lene do nazuk hoonton ko
Let it touch your soft lips

(Sharma kay na youhi kho dena rangeen jawani ki ghariyan)2
Dont let your moments of youth passes away in shyness
Betaab dharaktey seenoo ka armaan bhara pighaam hay yeh
The impatient heart beats are warning you

Choo lene do nazuk hoonton ko
Let it touch your soft lips
Kuch aur nahi hay jaam hay yeh
Its nothing but just a glass of wine

Choo lene do nazuk hoonton ko
Let it touch your soft lips

(Achon ko bura sabit karna duniya ki purani aadat hay)2
The world is in a habit to prove the good ones bad
Iss may ko mubarak cheez samajh mana kay bohat badnaam hay yeh
Consider this liquor to be good even though it is notorious

Choo lene do nazuk hoonton ko
Let it touch your soft lips
Kuch aur nahi hay jaam hay yeh
Its nothing but just a glass of wine
Qudrat nay jo hum ko bakhsha hay
Which the nature has gifted for us
Wo sab se haseen inaam hay yeh
This, the prettiest reward

Choo lene do nazuk hoonton ko
Let it touch your soft lips

(Hooo Hooo Hooo hoo hoo hoooo)2

(Tu hi woh haseen hai tu hi woh haseen hai
It is you that very beauty, ah! yes it is you that very beauty
Jis ki tasveer khayaalon mein muddat se bani hai)2
Whose pictures is etched in my memories and thought.

Tu hi woh haseen hai haai tu hi woh haseen hai

It is you that very beauty, ah! yes it is you that very beauty

Rukh-e-rowshan pe, zulfein bikhraaye huye
That lustrous face with tresses strewn over,
Jaise chanda pe, baadal ho chhaaya huye

As if the full moon is overcast by clouds
(Maine dekha tujhe toh mera dil mujhe yehi kehna lagaa)
Even when I see you my heart began telling me this
Dhoondhein nazrein Jisey, din-raat koi, aur nahin hai
Someone whom I had searched for is none other but you

Tu hi woh haseen hai haai tu hi woh haseen hai

It is you that very beauty, ah! yes it is you that very beauty

Meri aawaara tabiyat ko ek raah-e-mustaqil mil gayi,
My notorous nature has found a permanent path,
Ab na tarsoonga main rahath ko, mere khawabon ki manzil mil gayi,
Now I would not be longing for relief I have found my dream's destination
Sang-e-marmar ki moorat hai, taraashi hui,
An idol (a gem) carved out of marble stone,
Mere aankhon ko barson mein tasal lee hui
My eyes found satisfaction at long last,
(Meine dekha tujhe to mera dil mujhe yehi kehna laga)2
Even when I see you my heart began telling me this

Aise hi kisi moorat ki mere mandir mein kami hai
That such an idol (a gem)  in my temple is lacking 

(Tu hi woh haseen hai tu hi woh haseen hai
It is you that very beauty, ah! yes it is you that very beauty
Jis ki tasveer khayaalon mein muddat se bani hai)2
Whose pictures in etched in my memories and thought.

Tu hi woh haseen hai haai tu hi woh haseen hai

It is you that very beauty, ah! yes it is you that very beauty

Hawaaon raagini gaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Winds! Sing the airs (melodies)! My love is here

O laali phool ki mehndi laga in gore haathon mein
May the red of the rose color the henna on her fair hands
Utar aa ae ghata kaajal laga in pyaari aankhon mein
Come down, black clouds, and be the kohl in her lovely eyes
Sitaaron maang bhar jaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Stars! Adorn the part in her hair! My love is here!

Bahaaron phool barsaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Blush of spring! Rain flowers down on her! My love is here!

Nazaaron har taraf ab taan do ek noor ki chaadar
Admiring glances! lay a blanket of radiance all around her!
Bada sharmila dilbar hai, chala jaaye na sharmaakar
My sweetheart is very bashful, lest she leave from shyness
Zara tum dil ko behlaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2

Gladden my heart! My love is here!

Tender buds have decorated this bed of romance

They know the time for love will come one day

Blossoms! Sprinkle the air with colors! My love is here

Even the ashes will blow in the wind and say

Mujhe tum se muhabbat ho gai hai
I have fallen in love with you
Mujhe palakon ki chhaano mein rahane do
Let me stay in the shadows of your eye lids (close to you)

Nikalaa Na Karo Tum Saj Dhajakar
Don’t come out all dressed up

http://www.mastimag.com/download.php?song_id=11530

 

Oo ho hoo oo hoo hoo


(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2 
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me 

Dard Mein Dubey Geet Na De Gham Ka Sisakta Saz Na De

Or remind me of songs and verses  full of grief and sorrows

 

Oo ho hoo oo hoo hoo

 

(Beete Dinon Ki Yaad Thi Jinmein Maein Woh Tarane Bhool Chuka)2

I have forgotten the old memories and those old melodies

Aaj Nai Manzil Hai Meri Kal Ke Thikaane Bhool Chuka

Today I have a new purpose and have forgotten the old destinations
Na Woh Dil Na Sanam  Na Woh Deen Dharam

Neither that heart nor love or faith nor religion
Ab Door Hoon Sare Gunahon Se

Now I am far away from all my sins

 

(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2 
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me 

Toot Chuke Sab Pyar Ke Bandhan  Aaj Koi Zanjeer Nahin

All that bondages of love and binding chains are no more
Sheesha-E-Dil Mein Armaano Ki Aaj Koi Tasveer Nahin

There is no desires in this frail heart and there is no portrait 
Ab Shaad Hoon Maein Aazad Hoon Maein 
Now I am happy and I am independent 
Kuch Kaam Nahin Hai Aahon Se 
There is now use in sighs 

 

(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2 
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me 

Dard Mein Dubey Geet Na De Gham Ka Sisakta Saz Na De

Or remind me of songs and verses  full of grief and sorrows

 

Oo ho hoo oo hoo hoo

 

Jeewan Badalaa, Duniyaan Badalee Man Ko Anokhaa Gyaan Milaa  
It is a new life, a new world and my mind has received knowledge 
Aaj Mujhe Apane Hee Dil Me, Ek Nayaa Insaan Milaa

Today I have found myself anew and I have peace of mind 

Pahuchaa Hoo Wahaa, Naheen Door Jahaa

I have reached here finally 
Bhagawaan Bhee Meree Nigaahon Se

I can even see the almighty

 

(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2 
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me

Everything is at their respective states, well coordinated
kaee dinon se shikaayat naheen zamaane se
There is no lamentations towards the world nowadays,

Life is a journey, and you're the destination of this journey,

My youth was wandering in the benighted dark paths,
sukoon dil ko milaa, aake teree baahon mein
After coming to your embrace, I've procured restness for my heart,
main ik khoyee huyee mauj hoo, too saahil hain
I'm nothing but a lost tide, and you're the ocean,

jahaan bhee jaaoo ye lagataa hain teree mahafil hain
Wherever I go, it seems that only your presence is everywhere,
Tu is tarah se meree zindagee mein shaamil hain
You are attached in my life in such a harmonious way,

(tere jamaal se roshan hain ka ay naat meree)2
My whole world is shining with your beauty,
meree talaash teree dilakashee rahe baakee
May my search, your enticement , be there forever,
khudaa kare ke ye diwaanagee rahe baakee
may it be God's will, that my madness be there forever,
teree wafaa hee meree har khushee kaa hasil hain
Your fidelity is the source of my each and every happiness,

jahaan bhee jaaoo ye lagataa hain teree mahafil hain
Wherever I go, it seems that only your presence is everywhere,
Tu is tarah se meree zindagee mein shaamil hain
you are mingled in my life in such a harmonious way,

(Patthar ke sanam, tujhe hamane, muhabbat kaa Khudaa jaanaa)2
Oh heartless lover you are so mercilessI I worshipped you
bari bhuul hui, are hamane, ye kyaa samajhaa ye kyaa jaanaa
I have made a mistake in understanding you, what did I know.

O heartless lover,

cheharaa teraa dil mein liye, chalate chale angaaron pe
I kept walking on fire by keeping you in my heart

There can be no one, as crazy as me,

FOREVER: MOHD RAFI

 

Did Mohammad Rafi get his due?



Sometime ago, a Bangladeshi musician claimed that Mohammad Rafi was not given his rightful due in India. In a week-long series rediff.com finds out if the great Rafisaab was indeed ignored by the Hindi film industry and the government.
Today: Rediff India Abroad Managing Editor Arthur J Pais argues that Rafi was the most worshipped singer of his time, unwittingly at the expense of singers like Talat Mahmood and Manna Dey's careers.

It is wonderful to hear 85-year-old Manna Dey, himself a singing legend, talk about how honoured India is to have had a singer like Mohammad Rafi. It is nice to hear the much younger Sonu Nigam [ Images ] talk about Rafi -- who died in July 1980 -- and his heritage. "Not only did I dream of becoming a singer because of Rafisaab," he told me the other day, "I also feel he was and will always be the giant of the musical scene in India."

But it is certainly not a nice thing to hear that Rafi did not get his due in his own country, and that he had to be content with a Padma Shri while his contemporary Lata Mangeshkar [ Images ] was honoured with the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian accolade.

Even as one factors in the absurdity inherent in giving out awards including the Oscars [ Images ] -- Alfred Hitchcock never got one and Martin Scorsese [ Images ] is still waiting for his -- one ought to note that Rafi had received his Padma Shri in 1965. Lata received a higher award, the Padma Bhushan, but after four years. She received the Bharat Ratna in 2001. Rafi had long passed into the ages by then.

Lata is among very few musicians including M S Subbulakshmi who have received the Bharat Ratna. Does that mean other eminent musicians like Ravi Shankar, Balamurali Krishna, Bhimsen Joshi or Bade Ali Ghulam Khan did not win sufficient recognition in India?

Rafi was a singing meteor of his time. Just a dozen songs from films like Baiju Bawra, Kohinoor and Guide assures him immortality.

And yet, with virtually every composer and singer worshipping him, especially between 1950 and 1970, he got an undue number of songs to sing and unwittingly hurt the careers of contemporaries like Manna Dey, Talat Mahmood, and to a lesser degree, Hemant Kumar.

He was overexposed to such an extent that some of his songs, especially in films like Aman (composed by Shankar-Jaikishen) and Palki (composer: Naushad Ali) sounded overstretched and over dramatic. And yet some of the most eminent composers including S D Burman were afraid to tell the producers and the stars, especially Rajendra Kumar, Shammi Kapoor and Dharmendra [ Images ], that there were other good singers.

One can count the number of songs Manna Dey sang for Burman; it is another story that those few songs -- Poocho Na Kaise in Teri Surat [ Images ] Meri Aanken turned out to be milestones.

Even when Kishore Kumar [ Images ] became a phenomenon with his songs in Aradhana (1970) and monopolised the musical scene for two decades, Rafi was not sidelined. He sang lovely numbers like Kya Hua Tera Wada and Chura Liya for R D Burman even as Kishore hogged the scene. Producers like Nasir Hussain and Manmohan Desai preferred Rafi to Kishore, and older actors like Dharmendra were in Rafi's camp.

I don't remember ever reading or hearing that Rafi, who was known for his impeccable courtesy and great humanity, felt the least discomfort when Kishore Kumar monopolised the Hindi film music scene.

As one listens to some of the great singers of that era including Manna Dey, Talat Mahmood and Mukesh, one wonders why they did not get more songs.

"There were many occasions I thought of using Manna Dey for my songs," composer Ravi told me two years ago, quickly adding that he was in awe of Rafi's voice. "But the actors often demanded Rafi." The few songs Manna Dey sang for Ravi in films like Waqt and Ek Phool Do Maali have become classics.

One producer to resist the We-must-have-Rafi syndrome was B R Chopra. He gave Mahendra Kapoor a good break in Gumrah and repeated him in many films including Dastaan, which featured Dilip Kumar [ Images ] who was beholden to Rafi.

Indian film music would perhaps have been richer had composers ranging from Madan Mohan to O P Nayyar to Salil Choudhury to S D Burman shown a stronger independent streak and nourished the singing career of other singers.

FOREVER: MOHD RAFI

 

How fair were they to Mohammed Rafi?

August 23, 2006



Last week, a Bangladeshi musician claimed that Mohammad Rafi was not given his rightful due in India. In a week-long series rediff.com finds out if the great Rafisaab was indeed ignored by the Hindi film industry and the government.
Today: Raju Bharatan, doyen of India's film journalists, salutes a legend.

It happened at the height of the Rajesh Khanna wave --- in the after-1970 Aradhana glow when Mohammed Rafi's confidence was at its lowest ebb. The Mohammed Rafi who had sung, for Naushad, a total of 149 songs (81 of them solo) through 35 years. That ace composer had heard about how sheer nonentities, in the recording room, had begun dictating to Mohammad Rafi.

During a small-time composer's Rafi recording, therefore, Naushad quietly slipped into the sound recordist's booth at Mehboob Studios in the Bandra suburb of Bombay. As he sat through the recording, Naushad felt aghast to find striplings, in the recording room, telling a stalwart like Rafi how to sing.

Whereupon Naushad discreetly moved out, leaving word that his pet performer should call on him, without fail, at his Ashiana Bandra home -- on the singer's way back to Rafi Villa after the recording.

As Rafi entered his mentor-composer's home, Naushad first took him severely to task. The burden of the Naushad song -- "Who are these people to tell Mohammed Rafi what to do? Isn't Rafi too trained a performer to submit to anyone but the song composer?"

Having heard out his benefactor, Rafi explained to Naushad in detail how, through three years, they had sapped his will to perform -- as his own man. Naushad's counter to that -- "Never ever forget that you are Mohammed Rafi, a performer whose seasoning, by now, far exceeds that of any male singer in the industry. Always remember, Rafi that the singer you identify as your rival, now, has no classical background at all. So how possibly could he be competition to you, Rafi? Go back, confident like before, to the recording room. Just sing like my Rafi always did."

Having said that, having identified Kishore Kumar as no classical competition to Rafi, Naushad instinctively realised that something more tangible had to be done to restore to Rafi his known niche in our song lexicon.

To this end, Naushad hurried with a recording due for My Friend (1974) and summoned Rafi, for a song-rehearsal, for that film. For a solo cast in the Naushadian Bhairavi mould. As Naushad thus put Rafi through his performing paces afresh, for the My Friend Bhairavi classic going as Naiyaa Meree Chaltee Jaaye Sahare Tere Badhte Jaaye, Rafi instinctively regained performing poise.

Almost concurrent with that happening came the Film World magazine awards and Rafi, here, was very much in the running for the Best Singer citation. Bombay's Shanmukhananda Hall was jampacked that serene evening as it came to be announced that Mohammed Rafi had been voted Best Singer for his empathetic rendition of Teree Galiyon Mein Na Rakhenge Qadam Aaj Ke Baad -- as written by Saawan Kumar and tuned by Usha Khanna to go on Anil Dhawan in Hawas. The moment -- to the backdrop of the Teree Galiyon Mein number playing -- Mohammed Rafi was pronounced the winner, this singer, in walking up to the stage, was a man metamorphosed.

All of Rafi's shaken singing confidence thus returned in one stroke --- it was his first award in years. The same Mohammed Rafi who had made it a habit of bagging the prestigious Filmfare Best Male Singer award every other year.

Rafi had won it for Ravi's Pahadi beauty on Guru Dutt, Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho (Chaudhvin Ka Chand), in 1960. For Jaikishan's Teri Pyaari Pyaari Soorat Ko on Rajendra Kumar (wooing Byrappa Saroja Devi) in Sasural (1961). For Laxmikant-Pyarelal's 1964 DostiChahunga Main Tujhe Saanjh Savere. For Jaikishan's Bahaaron Phool Barsaao on Rajendra Kumar in Suraj (1966). For Shanker's Main Gaaon Tum So Jaao on Shammi Kapoor playing Brahmachari (1968).

Continues.....

FOREVER: MOHD RAFI

 

Rafi was aware of the fickleness of the industry and when he was eclipsed by the Kishore Kumar euphoria following the Aradhana days in the early 1970s, he did not show his hurt. That was the time when every musical director and star ran after Kishore Kumar. But Rafi was unperturbed and his dedication remained the same. Once while running a high temperature he recorded five songs in a day for Laxmikant-Pyarelal! Recalls Pyarelal, "He would bring thermos jugs filled with special tea spiced with almond, pista and elaichi, and pour out cups for us during recording. I never saw him in a bad mood."

The gentleman that he was, he conveniently `forgot' to remind producers for dues when a film did not do well. Rafi did not want his sons in the show business because he knew that singing talent cannot be inherited. He must have witnessed the struggles of Nitin Mukesh or Khalid Mahmood, sons of his colleagues Mukesh and Talat Mahmood. He gave his sons a sound education and set them up in business enterprises.

Thirty one years after his death, some of his best songs continue to haunt music rasikas.
