MOHD RAFI: MISSING GEMS:

It has been twenty seven years since the passing of this Legendary Genious, but even today his voice continues to entertain and to hold us spellbound as just a few other has done.

Was his talent great? maybe the greatest that India has ever seen, but
what made Rafisaab great? not only his god given talent, but the humility and goodness in the man, which made him even greater.

MOHD RAFI: MISSING GEMS:

In our tribute "Mohd Rafi: The Versatyle Genious" here we have listed over one hundred of his songs with audio, lyrics, translations and other bits and pieces of information that we have researched and gathered in our quest to honor a great son of the soil, a remarkable piece of work put together and first of its kind, on the net on one thread.

Since we felt that so many great songs were omitted from our compilations, songs which we ourselves wondered "why" they were omitted and the only answered that we could have offered was that

(1) No one could possibly select one hundred best songs of Rafisaab, and

(2) Since Rafisaab had sung so many thousands of songs, and many hundreds were hits, we felt that it would be an exercise in futility to say that X numbers were the best.

In this excercise we shall list another 100 songs that we had not previously listed, and we shall discuss some that we had listed and I promise that this thread will be another lengthy one for the lovers of Rafi songs.

MOHD RAFI: MISSING GEMS:

This project will be ongoing, and as it will be very tedious in researching and compiling, we will take as much time as possibly, and as the heading says "missing gems" it will be like an investigator looking for missing gems Big Grin

So all we asked, is to be patient and we/you all will be presented with those missing gems. Wink

MOHD RAFI: MISSING GEMS:


THE BHARAT RATNA:(translates to Jewel of India or Gem of India in English) is India's highest civilian award, awarded for the highest degrees of national service. This service includes artistic, literary, and scientific achievements, as well as "recognition of public service of the highest order." Unlike knights, holders of the Bharat Ratna carry no special title nor any other honorifics, but they do have a place in the Indian order of precedence. The award was established by the first President of India, Rajendra Prasad, on January 2, 1954. Along with other major national honours, such as the Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri, the awarding of the Bharat Ratna was suspended from July 13, 1977 to January 26, 1980. The honour has been awarded to forty persons, a list which includes two non-Indians and a naturalized Indian citizen. Originally, the specifications for the award called for a circular gold medal carrying the state emblem and motto, among other things. It is uncertain if a design in accordance with the original specifications was ever made. The actual award is designed in the shape of a peepul leaf and carries the Hindi-written words "Bharat Ratna" on the front. The reverse side of the medal carries the state emblem and motto. The award is attached to a two-inch long ribbon, and was designed to be worn around the recipient's neck.
Courtesy: Wikipedia:

Some who has been given that award are: Lata Mangeshkar, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Ravi Shankar, and 37 others.

MOHD RAFI: MISSING GEMS:



A shrine to Mohammad Rafi in Birmingham
By Prasun Sonwalkar, London, Sep 26:

Some critics call Indian singer Mohammad Rafi a mere 'qawwal', while millions revere him as the epitome of romance and solace - and now a Birmingham-based fan has built a shrine to his idol who he sees as nothing less than a saint.

Tasawar Bashir, a Birmingham-based artist, has designed a contemporary shrine to Rafi (1924-1980). It is currently on display at the Festival of Xtreme Building, Birmingham. Visitors are encouraged to bring offerings.

Bashir, who designed the relic, said: "There is no doubt in my mind that Rafi is already a saint. However, life moves at a much faster pace in the 21st century and therefore I believe that achieving the status of sainthood should reflect this societal shift.

"I asked myself how I could pay homage and honour Rafi, and was struck by the simple solution to make a shrine; a capsule in the middle of a bustling city which compresses time and space and expresses a one-to-one transmission between Rafi's voice and the listener. It is my intention that the shrine will transcend time and space."

The shrine has been built from transparent materials to emphasise its accessibility, and to encourage people who may not be familiar with Islamic art, or Rafi, to explore the space. The shrine, which is still only a prototype, will eventually be taken to India.

Tasawar added: "The shrine will be affected by the environment, weather and light depending on the time of day, meaning that every visit will be unique."

Dave Pollard, Curator of the Festival of Xtreme Building, said: "Mohammed Rafi had near universal appeal and his songs covered both the sacred and the secular. We hope that the shrine will create a link between the city and communities that may not normally visit the town centre, and urge the public to assist Tasawar in his attempt to turn this respected man into the peoples' saint."

The shrine is a 'Project 500' commission, a challenge set by the Festival of Xtreme Building asking artists and architects to work within a community to build a structure or installation with a budget of only 500 pounds. The shrine has been constructed with help from community residents and the support of Travel West Midlands, SAMPAD and Marketing Birmingham.

Tasawar told the media: "Mohammed Rafi embodies the golden age of Bollywood. He was never present in any of these films but everyone knew who he was through his voice. He was so prevalent in the 70s and 80s when I was a kid.

"My mum used to put him on in the kitchen, dad in the car - you couldn't get away from him."

Ameet Chana, a former actor in the popular serial "EastEnders", hosted the event Saturday and said: "It's great everybody's come out to celebrate the renowned voice of Mohammed Rafi. I was very young at the time he passed away but I grew up with his sound through going to watch classic Bollywood films."

Shin, an artiste with Birmingham-based bhangra band DCS, said: "Rafi was a great influence on me and he's the reason I'm singing. He encouraged me to sing like him and my singing is still based very loosely on his style. This shrine is a great idea and well overdue."

Dear Abdool,

TRIBUTE TO MOHAMMED RAFI THE LEGENDARY SINGER OF INDIA...1...

ARTICLES BY NASIR WHO IS TODAY CONSIDERED AN AUTHORITY ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MOHD RAFI:

Part 1

With special reference to the 1950's and 1960's.

What I present below is just a general observation and impressionistic views of an ordinary fan who did hear and enjoy the songs of Rafi Sahaab in the good old days and cherishes them still.
With the untimely death of the legendary Kundanlal Saigal in January 1947 a void had been created. Most of the actors having given up singing too about the mid-Forties, playback singing was a new industry and those who came in at that stage, most of them were heavily influenced by the Saigal style. Naushad, who had teamed up with Saigal in Kedar's masterpiece Shahjehan had given the last of great musical hits that kept the memory K.L. Saigal alive. The older generations were crazy after Saigal's songs. For several years, after his demise, Radio Ceylon used to play a 78 rpm record of Saigal's songs every day at 7:57 a.m.. It is against this background that emergence of Mohammad Rafi has to be seen and appreciated. Without going into his story of his earlier beginnings and forays in the Bombay film industry which are too well-known, I would like to begin at once with taking small glimpses of the "Rafian Process" that had a solid foundation in the late Forties itself, and which began building on that foundation in earnest with the 1950's. In accordance with the compositions of the Music Directors of the late Forties, Rafi Sahaab sang those songs that involved use of low octave in his earlier voice. For example, HAAY RE DUNIYA....in Zeenat (1945), YAHAAN BADLA WAFAA KA (with the reigning queen of melodies, Noor Jahan), and a light number for collegians: WOH APNI YAAD DILAANAY KO where he also appears as himself (Jugnu 1946); or TERA KHILONA TOOTA BALIK... in Anmol Ghadi (1946) had him singing in a deep bass. However, personally I'm surprised at Rafi Sahaab's rendition of KEH KE BHI NAA AAYE TUM...in Safar – a 1946 number under C. Ramchandra. The style belongs to the Fifties with another tonal quality. The following years we find a powerful amalgamation of the emotional feel of Rafi Sahaab blended in his songs In 1947, Do Bhai which had hit numbers of Geeta Roy, he lamented: DUNIYA MEIN MERI AAJ ANDHERA HI ANDHERA. The same year he gave such hits as TUM HAMAARAY HO NAA HO, in Saajan IK DIL KE TUKDE HAZAAR HUYE...was another of his song giving that hapless unrequited love in PYAAR KI JEET (1948). Emotion mixed with Romance in HAMM KO TUMHAARA HI AASRA in Saajan (1947). In 1948 he gave quite a few numbers for Amirbai Karnataki in Shehnaz. However, in MORE RAJA HO LE CHAL... in Nadiya ke Paar the voice used for Dilip Kumar is still in low octave. Which is again reflected in YEH ZINDAGI KE MELE in Mela (both of 1948) though not filmed on the protagonist.

MOHD RAFI: MISSING GEMS:

Part 1 continues.......

With special reference to the 1950's and 1960's.

The year 1948 also promised that we had in Rafi Sahaab a singer who could stir up feelings of patriotism in a manner hitherto not done as when he sang in the musical composition of Husnlal Bhagatram: SUNO SUNO AY DUNIYA WAALO BAPU JI AMAR KAHANI. The then Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru evidently having heard of Rafi Sahaab invited the young singer to his residence to sing to him that lyrical obituary relating to the Father of the Nation - that Bapu JO PUNJYA HAI ITNA JITNAA GANGA MAA KA PAANI. There was, perhaps, no one to record how many precious tears the Indian Prime Minister must have shed on listening to the deep, rich voice, that heart-rending pathos... Though Rafi Sahaab had sung several patriotic numbers such as in Shaheed (1948) which had Ghulam Haider as the Music Director, WATAN KI RAAH MEIN...showed the promise that Rafi Sahaab would be excelling the genre of the patriotic number as well. Since this song is a duet, one can easily fathom what an emotional singer Rafi Sahaab was even at that very young age. The rendition of this song established him as the singer of patriotic songs too. For Ghulam Mohammad he sang in Kajal (1948), Shayar (1949). His DIL KI LAGI NAY HAMM KO DIWAANA...in Paras (1949) was at the simple best. Rafi Sahaab sang for Music Director like Shyam Sunder right from 1948 till at least 1953 for movies such as Actress, Bazaar, Chaar Din, Dholak and Alif Laila, giving such hits as AY DIL MERI AAHON MEIN (Actress -1948); AY MUHABBAT, UNSE MILNAY KA BAHAANA MIL GAYAA and the lament in MERAY BHAGWAAN TU MUKHKO, YUNHI BARBAAD REHNAY DAY (Bazaar 1949); the light foot-tapping HALLA GULLA LAEE LAA (Dholak – 1951); KYA RAAT SUHAANI HAI (Alif Laila – 1953). Khemchand Prakash and Husnlal Bhagatram were some of the other composers for whom Rafi Sahaab sang giving them many hit numbers. In Meena Bazaar, Husnlal Bhagatram tasked Rafi Sahaab to sing all their numbers, nearly ten, either solo or duets. For Husnlal Bhagatram he sang such soulful songs as: IK DIL KE TUKDE HAZAAR HUWYE (Pyar ki Jeet - 1948); MUHABBAT KE DHOKE MEIN KOI NA AAYE (Badi Bahen – 1949); THUKRA KE HAMEN CHAL DIYE BEGAANA (Baalam -1949) among others. The romantic AYE MUHABBAT, UNSE MILNEY KA BAHAANA MIL GAYA, (Bazaar), and DIL HO UNHEY MUBARAK in Chaandi Raat, the vocal timbre sounds the same. The song of Badi Bahen: MUHABBAT KE DHOKE MEIN KOI NAA AAYE, and in Dillagi ISS DUNIYA MEIN AY DILWAALO.n...is still effectively at low key though the latter was under the baton of Naushad Sahaab. We find certain direction of the genre of Ghazal or Nazm in JIN RAATON MEIN NEEND UD JAATI HAI....(Raat ki Raani) and that of a soulful lament in MUJHE BHAGWAAN TU MUJHKO YUNHI BARBAAD REHNEY DE...(Bazaar). In other song of Dulari (duet) such as MIL MIL KE GAAYENGE HO DO DIL YAHAAN...or in Rafi Sahaab's duet with Suraiya in Duniya (1949): HAAYE RE TUNE KYA KIYA, and YUN TO AAPAS MEIN BIGADTEY HAIN..in Andaaz with Lata definitely reflects the style of late forties and early Fifties with a special reference to the sweetness of Rafi Sahaab's vocals. But in RK'S Barsaat (1949), Rafi Sahaab's MAIN ZINDAGI MEIN HARDAM ROTA HI RAHA HOON...seems to be the precursor of the songs that were later composed under the baton of Naushad Sahaab in the fifties. However, the all-famous song from Dulari SUHAANI RAAT DHAL CHUKI... stands as the benchmark of a style that was common to all the coming decades.

Part 1 continues.....

The picture that emerges shows that in the Forties itself Rafi Sahaab's name became a household name and that his songs had become a run-away hit with the masses. The presence of other male singers such as G.M. Durrani, Surendra, Khan Mastana, Shyam and others could not suppress the rising star. Bollywood song sequences by the mid-forties had become more dynamic and the camera was liberated to roam around freely. This was synonymous with Rafi Sahaab's voice that had laid the foundation in the forties to make the business of musical recording songs more exciting. When we come to the Fifties, in the very early couple of years we still find traces of the style that was prevalent in the late forties – again probably due to the fact the Music Directors had not explored the potentials of Rafi Sahaab and were content with their same old style of song and music. Thanks to the experimentation of Naushad, the Fifties were to witness, or rather hear, and treasure that quality of Rafi Sahaab that was not present in the earlier playback singers, namely, his phenomenal range of voice. The song from Baiju Bawra (1953) : O DUNIYA KE RAKHWAALAY is still fresh in the memories of music lovers even after the lapse of fifty-four years. This high range was of Rafi Sahaab was used in MERI KAHAANI BHOOLNAY WAALAY (Deedar 1951), YAHI ARMAAN LEKAR. (Shabab 1954) or O DUUR KE MUSAAFIR (Udan Khatola 1954). Shankar-Jaikishen made use of this range in Basant Bahar (1956): DUNIYA NA BHAAYE MOHAY...where the voice rises in crescendo and is one of the most difficult songs to sing. Some singers have tried to sing the Baiju Bawra and the Udan Khatola songs but hardly one is found attempting to sing the Basant Bahar Bhajan of Rafi Sahaab. Hansraj Behl too got him singing MUHABBAT ZINDA REHTI HAI with the high octave of the words: CHALI AA, CHALI AA, CHALI AA....(Changez Khan – 1956). So did S. Mohinder for the song HAZAARO.N RANGG BADLEGAA ZAMAANA...(Shirin Farhad – 1957). In the late fifties Salil Choudhry had to give TOOTAY HUWAY KHWAABON NAY to Rafi Sahaab in Madhumati (1958) and so also Shankar-Jaikishen had no option but to give that difficult but racy and thunderous number: YEH DUNIYA YEH DUNIYA (Yahudi 1958) to him.

Part 1 continues.....

It had became as clear as crystal to the Music Directors and the film industry in general in the Fifties as to what a storehouse of powerful voice did Rafi Sahaab have. They thus could come up with many compositions without restrain about the scales for they had found in Rafi Sahaab a singer who could not only understand and emote the finer nuances of lyrics effectively but also deliver the songs with grace and sweetness going from the low and high and back without losing the voice quality. Rafi Sahaab's ability to staying in tune even in fluctuation of voice range, producing specific vowel sounds and tone colours for the sound that were needed were now all too evident. So by the close of Fifties it was Rafi Sahaab all the way. He could sing all genres of songs with great ease. The classicals he had already rendered in Baiju Bawra and Basant Bahar and other movies of the Fifties, culminating in 1960 with MADHUBAN MEIN RADHIKA NAACHE RAY....(Kohinoor). His duet with Lata in Suvarna Sundari: KUHOO KUHOO BOLAY KOYALIYA is again an unforgettable number. Other genres such as Ghazals, Qawwalis, Western-influenced numbers too were already mastered by him in the Fifties. To give just an example each when the question of rendering a ghazal of Ghalib (Mirza Ghalib – 1954) in a difficult composition came up before Ghulam Mohammad he could only turn to Rafi for rendering HAI BAS KE HAR IK UNKAY....As for the qawwali style and its feel, who can forget AANKHON MEI.N TUMHAARE JALWAY in Shirin Farhad. In the Fifties itself the Western pop music had begun its assault and the Bollywood film industry could not remain unscathed. Therefore, when the West danced to Rock ˜N' Roll music, we had our own Desi version in LAL, LAL GAAL, JAAN KE HAIN LAAGU...(Mr X - 1955) belted by our own Rafi Sahaab who could not at all be repressed. Later, O.P. Nayyar found it to his comfort to use Rafi Sahaab's mastery over this style to churn out lilting numbers such as JAAWAANIYA YEH MAST MAST BIN PIYE...(Tumsa Nahin Dekha - 1956). When Usha Khanna was introduced as the Music Director in DIL DEKE DEKHO (1958) she seemed to be under this influence too. Rafi Sahaab rendered the title song of the movie that was inspired by SUGAR IN THE MORNING, SUGAR IN THE EVENING. In the same movie, Rafi Sahaab also rendered the Desi version of the DIANA number: I'M SO YOUNG AND YOU'RE SO OLD... by KAUN YEH AAYA MEHFIL MEIN... By the way, after a quarter of century later, Rafi Sahaab would be singing to Usha Khanna HUM AUR TUM AUR YEH SAMAA from this movie showing his pleasure for the masterly composition of TU ISS TARAH SE MERI ZINDAGI MEIN SHAAMIL HAI from the 1980's AAP TOH AISAY NA THHEY. The Fifties was also a decade when many low-budget mythological movies were made. It was a boon for their music directors that Rafi Sahaab sang the Bhajan's with so much emotion, pathos, power, and mastery of Hindi dialect as well. (He had already proved that with MANN TADPAT HARI DARSHAN KO...in Baiju Bawra). His Bhajans from Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1953) including GOKUL GAAWOON, and from Tulsidas (1954) including MUJHE APNI SHARAN MEIN LAY LO RAM....; from Chakradhari (1954): KAHAY KO BISRAA HARI NAAM; Aastik (1956) O JISKA SAATHI HAI BHAGWAAN.... Or from the Dilip Kumar starrers: Amar (1954): INSAAF KA MANDIR HAI, Insaniyat (1956): APNI CHHAAYA MEIN BHAGWAN, Naya Daur (1957): AANA HAI TO AA.., can never be forgotten. The genre comedy are amply represented by such songs as: AY DIL HAI MUSHKIL (C.I.D – 1956) SAR JO TERA CHAKRAAYE (Pyaasa -1957), JANGAL MEIN MOR NAACHAA (Madhumati – 1958). These songs are specially known for their uncanny resemblance to the voice and the mannerisms of comedian Johnny Walker. But then he also sang such songs for other actors too. One such notable movie is HAMM SAB CHOR HAIN. In the Fifties the Voice of Rafi Sahaab was sugar and honey and tugged at the hearts of its listeners, evoking all shades of noble emotions. No doubt he became a national icon.

Mohammad Rafi's songs in the Golden Age are vocally seductive, rendered under great composers such as Naushad, Shankar-Jaikishen, S.D.

ARTICLES BY NASIR WHO IS TODAY CONSIDERED AN AUTHORITY ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MOHD RAFI:

With special reference to the 1950's and 1960's.

Part 1 continues.....

Rafi Sahaab is generally credited with having given us about 27,000 songs in his career. The great forte of Mohammad Rafi Sahaab was that he moved with the times. In this process, he himself brought about a positive change in the playback singing, widening the horizon for the music directors, and was responsible for the liberation of filmy music that had become type-cast and monotonous to say the least. By the time we come to the year 1960, we find that Rafi Sahaab had no more musical territories to conquer. As Lata Mangeshkar was to observe much later: "The void that was created by K.L. Saigal had been filled". But another sign of a great playback singer is not to rest on his laurels. But that story belongs to the Sixties.We saw the tremendous impact of Rafi Sahaab on the film music in the Fifties. However, it should not be in the least imagined that it was a smooth sailing for him. Of course he sang duets with all the female singers of the Fifties, including Shamshad Begum whom Asha Bhonsle had once called "Punjab Ka Jaadu," Lata and Usha Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Raj Kumari, Ameer Bai, Madhubala Jhaveri, Meena Kapoor, Mubarak Begum, and others. But he faced the toughest of competition from the other male singers such as Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, C.Ramchandra and Mukesh. Naushad's home production, Babul, (1950) had Talat Mehmood's number for Dilip Kumar. Rafi Sahaab figured just nominally in the background voice singing: DUUR JAANA DUUR HAI...in the Talat-Shamshad duet: NADI KINAARAY PAAS HAMAARAY SHAAMD SUHAANI AAYI. In fact, by the time we approach 1960, Mukesh had won the 1959 Film Fare best singer award for his SABB KUCHH SEEKHA HAMMNAY in Anari. At the same time it also goes to the credit of Rafi Sahaab that he was called upon to render playback singing for established singer such as Talat Mehmood in Lala Rukh: HAI KALI KALI KE LABB PAR in a subdued voice to sound like Talat; and for Kishore Kumar in Baghi Shehzada, Ragini and Shararat. The songs in Raagini: MANN MORA BAAWRA, in Shararat: AJAB HAI DAASTAA.N TERI AY ZINDAGI; were great hits. O.P. Nayyar's decision to make Rafi Sahaab sing the classical song Mann Mora Baawra was upheld by Ashok Kumar who was the producer of Ragini. Shankar-Jaikishen too for their Shararat song needed Rafi Sahaab for his classical background and the phenomenal range of voice. Rafi Sahaab's duet with Asha Bhonsle was lip-synched by both Bhagwan and Kishore Kumar in HAMEN BHAYY DARR HAI in the 1956 flick, Bhagam Bhag which had lilting duets of these male singers.

Pal do pal ka saath hamaara pal do pal ki yaari
Aaj ruke to kal karani hai chalane ki taiyaari

(Bastii-basti parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara

(Qadam-qadam par honi baithi apana jaal bichhaae)2
Is jiivan ki raah mein jaane (kaun kahaan rah jaae)2

(Bastii-basti parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara

Dhan-daulat ke piichhe kyon hai ye duniya diivaani
Yahaan ki daulat yahaan rahegi saath nahi ye jaani

(Duniya ke baazaar mein aakir chaahat bhi vyaapaar bani
Tere dil se unake dil tak chaandi ki diivaar bani)2

(Bastii-basti parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara

Ham jaison ke bhaag mein likha chaahat ka varadaan nahi

Ye raat jaise dulhan ban gayee charaagon se
Karungaa ujaalaa main dil ke daagon se

Aaj kee raat mere dil kee salaamee le le
Kal teree bajm se diwaanaa chalaa jaayegaa
Shammaa rah jaayegee parawaanaa chalaa jaayegaa

Teree mahafil tere jalawe ho mubaarak tuz ko
Teree ulafat se nahee aaj bhee inkaar muze
Teraa mayakhaanaa salaamat rahe aye jaana-ye-wafaa
Muskuraakar too jaraa dekh le yek baar muze
Fir tere pyaar kaa mastaanaa chalaa jaayegaa

Mainne chaahaa ke bataa doo main hakeekat apanee
Toone lekin naa meraa raaja-ye-mohabbat samazaa
Meree ulazan mere haalaat yahaan tak pahunche
Teree aankhon ne mere pyaar ko nafarat samazaa
Ab teree raah se begaanaa chalaa jaayegaa

Too meraa saath naa de raah-ye-mohabbat mein sanam
Chalate chalate main kisee raah pe mud jaaoongaa
Kahakashaan chaand sitaaren tere chumeinge kadam
Tere raste kee main yek dhool hoon, ud jaaoongaa
Saath mere meraa afasaanaa chalaa jaayegaa

SUNO SUNO AI DUNIYA WALO BAPU KI YEH AMAR KAHANI: MP 3

Several years earlier, Lata had rendered the same song live before an audience comprising, among others, the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and it had brought tears to his eyes. Similarly, when Mohammed Rafi sang a patriotic song on the life of Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of India's first Republic Day function, Suno suno ai duniya waalo Bapu ki ye amar kahani it had moved Nehru to tears.

WHOSE PICTURE IS ETCHED IN MY THOUGHTS FOR A LONG TIME.
Tu hi woh haseen hai ooo tu hi woh haseen hai
IT IS YOU, THAT VERY BEAUTY, OH IT IS YOU THAT VERY BEAUTY

Tu hi woh haseen hai haai tu hi woh haseen hai
IT IS YOU THAT VERY BEAUTY, OH 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 THE CLOUDS
(Maine dekha tujhe toh mera dil mujhe yehi kehna lagaa)
EVEN AS I SAW YOU MY HEART BEGAN TELLING ME THIS
Dhoondhein nazrein Jisey, din-raat koi, aur nahin hai
SOMEONE WHOM THE SIGHT SEARCHED DAY AND NIGHT IS NONE OTHER

Tu hi woh haseen hai haai tu hi woh haseen hai
IT IS YOU THAT VERY BEAUTY, OH IT IS YOU THAT VERY BEAUTY

Meri aawaara tabiyat ko ek raah-e-mustaqil mil gayi,
MY VAGABOND NATURE FOUND A PERMANENT PATH,
Ab na tarsoonga main rahath ko, mere khawabon ki manzil mil gayi,
NOW I WON'T BE LONGING FOR A RELIEF I FOUND MY DREAM DESTINATION
Sang-e-marmar ki moorat hai, taraashi hui,
AN IDOL CARVED OUT OF A 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 AS I SAW YOU MY HEART BEGAN TELLING ME THIS
Aise hi kisi moorat ki mere mandir mein kami hai
SOME SUCH IDOL IN MY TEMPLE IS LACKING

Tu hi woh haseen hai tu hi woh haseen hai
IT IS YOU, THAT VERY BEAUTY, OH IT IS YOU THAT VERY BEAUTY
Jis ki tasveer khayaalon mein muddat se bani hai
WHOSE PICTURE IS ETCHED IN MY THOUGHTS FOR A LONG TIME.
Tu hi woh haseen hai ooo tu hi woh haseen hai
IT IS YOU THAT VERY BEAUTY, OH IT IS YOU THAT VERY BEAUTY

The debate as to who was the greater singer carries on even today, even decades after their death. Both of them left an indelible mark in the world of Indian film music, a void that still cannot be filled today. No wonder that their fans are at constant feud with one another trying to prove that their hero was better.

3) AAJ KI RAAT MERE DIL KE SALAAMI: MP3

Ye raat jaise dulhan, ban gayi hai chiraagon se
This night has become a bride like the brilliance of a lamp

Karunga ujaala main dil ke daagon se
I will enlighten the surroundings with the blots of my heart

Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
This night take the salute from my heart, take salute from my heart
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tommorrow I will depart away from your company
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This nightfall will remain whilst this lover will go away.

Teri mehfil tere jalwe ho mubaarak tujhko
In your company, your lustre, congrats to you.
Teri ulfat se nahin aaj bhi inkaar mujhe
Today I don't have any refusal with your intimacy
Tera maikhaana salaamat rahe eh jaan-e-wafa
Your bar may remain safe, o my lover
Muskuraakar tu zara dekh le ik baar mujhe
With a smile please look at me for once,
Phir tere pyaar ka mastaana chala jaayega
Then with this one of your love I will depart

Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
This night take the salute from my heart, take salute from my heart
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tommorrow I will depart away from your company
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This nightfall will remain whilst this lover will go away.

Maine chaaha ki bata dun main haqeeqat apni
I wanted to tell you the truth about me,
Tune lekin na mera raaz-e-mohabbat samjha
but you would not understand that, my love.
Meri uljhan mere haalaat yaha tak pahonche
My complications, my conditions reached the hilt,
Teri aankhon ne mere pyaar ko nafrat samjha
But in your eyes my love was mistaken as hatred
Ab teri raah se begaana chala jaayega
Now, because of your ways this stranger will go away.

Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
This night take the salute from my heart, take salute from my heart

Tu mera saath na de raah-e-mohabbat mein sanam
You do not reciprocate the love within my company
Chalte-chalte main kissi raah pe mud jaaunga
While walking I will turn at some place losing myself
Kahkashaan chaand sitaare tere choomenge qadam
The milky moon and stars will kiss your feet.
Tere raste ki main ek dhool hun ud jaaunga
I am the dust of your way, I will fly away.
Saath mere mera afsaana chala jaayega
My story of mylove will escape with me.

Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
This night take the salute from my heart, take salute from my heart
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tommorrow I will depart away from your company
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This nightfall will remain whilst this lover will go away.

3) AAJ KI RAAT MERE DIL KE SALAAMI


3) AAJ KI RAAT MERE DIL KE SALAAMI: MP3

The touching lament of a lover who never got to express his love, and now his sweetheart will marry someone else. Rafi's voice and the magic of Naushad make this beautiful. We may never again see such a combination of talent.

Ye raat jaise dulhan, ban gayi chiraagon se
Tonight,as she becomes a bride under lights
Karunga ujaala main dil ke daagon se
My heartache will shine brighter still

Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi, parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone

Teri mehfil tere jalwe ho mubaarak tujhko
your gathering, your lustre, suits you well
Teri ulfat se nahin aaj bhi inkaar mujhe
Today I will not deny you your pleasure
Tera maikhaana salaamat rahe eh jaan-e-wafa
Bless your beguiling ways, lover
Muskuraakar tu zara dekh le ik baar mujhe
Favor me just once more with your smile
Phir tere pyaar ka mastaana chala jaayega
Then the one intoxicated with you will go

Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you

Maine chaaha ki bata dun main haqeeqat apni
I wanted to tell you the truth about me,
Tune lekin na mera raaz-e-mohabbat samjha
But you did not see my secret love
Meri uljhan mere haalaat yaha tak pahonche
My troubles reached the point where
Teri aankhon ne mere pyaar ko nafrat samjha
you took my love for hate
Ab teri raah se begaana chala jaayega
Now this stranger will not be in your way

Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you

Tu mera saath na de raah-e-mohabbat mein sanam
You did not walk the path of love with me
Chalte-chalte main kissi raah pe mud jaaunga
I will take a turn away from this path now
Kahkashaan chaand sitaare tere choomenge qadam
Rainbows, the moon and stars will kiss the ground you tread
Tere raste ki main ek dhool hun ud jaaunga
I am the dust in your path, I will blow away.
Saath mere mera afsaana chala jaayega
The tale of my love will go with me

Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you

MOHD RAFI: MISSING GEMS:

There was a period in the early seventies, precisely from 1972 to 1976, when it was considered that Rafi was eclipsed by Kishore Kumar. Was it really so?

Well, the reasons can be many. First of all, it was given that Rafi refused to sing for nearly eight months due to certain beliefs he suddenly developed, otherwise, perhaps Rafi would have sung all the hit songs of ARADHANA, due to which KK became popular and became the voice of the then heart throb Rajesh Khanna. Though Rajesh had Rafi as main play back Singer in other movies released during the period like MEHABOOB KI MEHENDI, THE TRAIN, DO RAASTE, apart from the two songs in ARADHANA itself, some how the voice of KK got stuck with RK. And Producers, Directors, Actors rushed to KK to make hits like ARADHANA, but all other MDs were not SDB and the standard of music in most of these movies was far below that of ARADHANA. And these people were also handicapped by the fact that Rafi refused to sing for a long period. Changing tastes, commercial interests, a combination of different factors made the situation very complicated and perhaps, the down slide of Hindi Film Music started during this period.

One of my friend used to say that a song can appeal to your ears, but will soon fade out after sometime like most of the songs of today, but a great quality song will always appeal to your heart and remain there forever. How true, most of the songs of fifties and sixties are still etched in our memory but most of the songs of mid seventies and eighties are hardly remembered.

Mohd RafiFor Rafi fans having brought up on more or less on strict Rafi diet, it was especially frustrating to listen to ONLY other Singers, when the BEST of all reduced his songs. That too, just prior to this period, we had wonderful Rafi songs from movies like CARAVAN, DO RAASTE, MEHABOOB KI MEHENDI, HIMMAT, HUMJOLI, THE TRAIN, MELA, MAA AUR MAMTA, GANWAR, ANDAZ, BHAI BHAI, etc.

When Rafi realized and took the challenge, to the immense joy of his Fans, he could once again give quality songs, but no doubt, the quantity had come down considerably. Even in popular Film music programs like Vivid Bharati and Radio Ceylon and especially Binaca Geet Mala, the number of Rafi songs could be numbered to one or two, but there was a considerable increase in the number of KK songs. But Rafi being Rafi, he gave good songs as usual in the same voice, same melody, with same distinction with which he had enthralled countless of his Fans for the previous three decades. The QUALITY in the following songs recorded by MR during the period of 1972 to 1976 remained intact.

In fact, when "Main Ek Raja Hun" (UPHAAR) with LP as MD came on Binaca Geet Mala, the compeer, the redoubtable Amin Sayani remarked that with this song, Rafi would make a come back. How prophetic his words were! The period also had wonderful songs from LP like "Aaj Mausam" (LOAFER), "Aa Batandege Tuzhe" (DOST) with Lata and Shatrughan Sinha, "Bade Bewafa Hain Yeh" and "Hasin Dilruba" (ROOP TERA MASTANA), "Ke Aaja TerI Yaad Aayi" (CHARAS) with Lata and Anand Bhakshi, Solos "Ik Na Ik Din Ye", "Tere Nain" and title song of GORA AUR KALA, "Patta Patta Boota Boota" (EK NAZAR) with Lata, "Nafarat Ki Duniya Ko" (HAATHI MERE SAATHI), "Main Wohi, Wohi Baat" (NAYEE DIN NAYEE RAAT), "Na Zat Yamla" and a duet with Lata "Morni Re Morni" (PRATIGYA), "Koi Nazarana" and title song with Lata (AAN MILO SAJANA), two solos "O Meri Mehabooba" and "Are Maine Tuzhko Chaha" and with Mukesh "Saat Ajube" (DHARAMVEER), "Tere Ishq Ka Muzhpe" with Asha and "Hapte Mahino Barson Nahin" with Lata (NAGIN), "Tere Hathon Me Pehanake Chudiyan" and "Chalo Re Doli Utao". "Tu Gaddar Sahi" (GADDAR) was another hit song.

KA gave "Tumse Door Rahke" (ADAALAT) with Lata, "Wada Karle Sajana" (HAATH KI SAFAI) with Lata and "Deewane Hain Deewanon Ko Na" (ZANJEER) with Lata and "Main Tuzhase Milne Aayi Mandir Jaane Ke Bahane" (HEERA) with Lata and "Yeh Raat Hai Pyaasi Pyassi" (CHOTI BAHU). Another musical was BAIRAAG, the songs became hit during this period though the movie was released much later. It had two duets with Asha "Sare Shahar Me" and "Peete Peete" apart from the Lata duet "Are Sunore Suno". MARYADA had "Mohabbat Ke Suhane Din", Lata duet "Tu Bhi Aaja" and Asha duet "Humse To Hasina". SAMJHAUTA had two wonderful solos "Badi Door Se Aaye Hain" and "Sabake Rahte".

Madan Mohan during this period gave "Jis Din Se Maine" with Asha and solo "Are Hasnewalon" (PARWAANA), "Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho" and "Ye Mana Meri Jaan" (HANSTE ZAKHM), "Chadi Re Chadi Kaise" (MAUSAM) with Lata as well as some patriotic songs in HINDUSTHAN KI KASAM.

SDB as usual, came out with stunning numbers like "Tere Nainon Ke Me Deep" (ANURAAG) with Lata, "Teri Bindiya Re" (ABHIMAAN) with Lata, "Ae Mere Dil" (US PAAR), "Sare Gama" (CHUPKE CHUPKE) with KK.

RDB, the so called KK Fan also gave some hit numbers with MR like "Chura Liya Hain Tumne Jo Dil Ko" with Asha and title song with KK (YADON KI BARAAT), "Ek Shok Hasina Se" (CHAANDI SONA) with Mannadey, "Kahe Ko Bulaya" with Lata and solo "Tere Attaroo" (SHAHJADA) and "Ae Jaane Wafa" (CHALIA).

Naushad gave "Nayi Hawa Me" (GAON HAMARA SHEHAR TUMHARA) and title song of TANGEWALA.

OPN after patching up with MR gave beautiful songs like "Zamane Ki Aankhon Ne" (EK BAAR MUSKURADO), "Hont Hai Tere Do Laal Heere" with Dilraj Kaur and "Kuch Aur Nahin Bas Dyaan Tera" with Mannadey (HEERA MOTI). In fact, OPN is suppose to have remarked, ˜give me one film, I will show you who is Rafi?' which is sufficient proof of OPN's acceptance of Rafi's superiority.

SJ, the true Rafi fans came out with solos "Jab Mohabbat Jawan Hoti Hai", "Mere Sapnon Ki Raani", and duets with Asha "Mil Gayi Mil Gayi" and "Na Rooto Na Rooto Na" (JAWAAN MOHABBAT) as well as "Maati Ke Jalte Deepak Ki".

MD Ravi came out with stunners in "Door Rahakar" and "Matlab Nikal Gaya" (AMANAT) and "Mere Dost Tuzhe" (DHARKAN) and "Aaj Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai"

Rajesh Roshan gave "Sazi Rahi" (KUNWARA BAAP) with Mehamood, "Kahun Kya" (GINNY AUR JHONNY) with Asha and "Ghadi Milan Ki Aayi" (EK BAAP CHE BETE) with Sulakshana Pandit and another duet in PRIYATAMA – "Na Na Na Na".

There were other quality songs like "Apni Aankhion Me Basakar" (THOKAR), "Dil Ne....... Pyaar Kiya Hai Ek Bewafa Se" (SHARARAT) under MD Ganesh, "Kahin Aisa Na Ho" (MILAP) under MD Brij Bhushan, "Kahin Ek Masoom, Nazuksi Ladki" (SHANKAR HUSSAIN) under Khayyam, "Teri Galiyon Me Na" (HAWAS) under Usha Khanna, "Raaj Ki Baat" and "Main Tera Gunahagar Hun" (DHARMA) with Asha under Sonik Omi, "Dil Ka Suna Saaz" (EK NARI DO ROOP) under MD Ganesh, etc. which clearly showed Rafi's class. Two other movies with Rafi as main singer were AAP KE DEEWANE and ZINDA DIL. RAM BALRAM and PROF. PYAARELAL also had some MR songs.

If one observes closely the above songs, majority of these songs have LP as MD and followed by others like KA, RDB, RR, MM, SDB, OPN, Naushad, Usha Khanna, etc. Does it reveal some thing? I have listed only some of the quality songs which I could immediately recollect and which I have enjoyed listening to, though Rafiji sang many more songs during this period.

Later, once again Rafi wave started with Laila Majnu with Music by the great Madan Mohan followed by AAA, HKKN, Aasha, Shaan, Sargam, Abdullah, Naseeb, Mrig Trishna (the classic "Nava Kalpana Nava Roopase"), ZKDH, Karz, Swayamvar, Sazan Ki Saheli, Naach Uthe Sansar, etc. reestablishing Rafi as no. 1 Singer again in terms of quantity though he was always no. 1 as for as quality was concerned. And after 1976, the songs of Rafiji as usual occupied the main space in programs like BGM, VB, RC, etc.

Mr. Nitish Sinha from Rourkela has already written a very good article on the same subject, but I thought I could substantiate further on the topic. I am sure other Rafians can come out with scores of other songs sung by Rafiji during this period.

Fabulous writing by Mr. Gurumurthy Ji. You have practically named almost all the movies of that period where Rafi Sahab once again produced gems of songs, in his most inimitable voice. I particularly liked reference of one song "Bade Bewafa Hain Yeh Husnwale Par Teri Baat Kuch Aur Hai" (ROOP TERA MASTANA). That is a grandstand rendition once again but not very popular. I request some of the rafians having the song to kindly send it to me at asmurty2@rediffmail.com. Then again, although the movie Mehboob ki mehendi was mentioned, one song "pasand aa gayi hai ik kafir haseena" is again a very unusual style but very appealing song. This again went unnoticed but is a class song by itself. One correction though Gurumurthy ji, the song from "amaanat" is "matlab nikal gaya hai toh pehchaante nahin" and not as stated. Several other songs mentioned in the article emphatically establish the supremacy of rafi sahab over all other singers. perhaps rafi sahab had cut down on his singing, else the list would be much much lengthier. great article and great piece of writing too. thanks.

Rafi was #1 for 20 years and even in the same film he was the voice for multiple characters. Very few like to hear one voice all the time. Eventually people wanted to take a break from his voice. This is why great Rafi songs in early 70s did not get due justice THEN (people were taking a BREAK) but today are revered (people are not JUST coming from a 20 year streak by Rafi as voice for everyone). Raj Kapoor was clever to want a fresh new voice for Bobby (1973). Had the songs been in Rafi's voice, today they would be even more revered than they are. In 1973 they would have been relatively ignored like the other Rafi classics from Abhimaan, Haathi Meri Saathi, Yaadon Ki Baraat. Shocking to imagine songs by Mahendra Kapoor & Shailendra Singh being more popular than Rafi's from the 1971-1975 period but it happened. Never for musical reasons but the "break" factor. Shankar Jaikishan went down in early 1970s because they remained loyal to Rafi (besides Sharda, rifts, alcohol). If they replaced Rafi with new voices they would have remained #1 even in early 70s against RD Burman. Of course Rafi songs from early 71-75 easily outstrip the Mahendra Kapoor & Shailendra Singh songs from that period in the TEST OF TIME 30 years later today (heavenly voice can never be replaced) - but back then during the wave & trends it was a different scenario.

4) AKELE HAIN CHALE AAO: MP3

Akele hain chale aao, Jahaan ho
I am all alone, come on over
Kahan awaaz de tumko, Kahaan ho
where shall I call you? Where are you?
Akele hain chale aao, Jahaan ho
I am all alone, come on over

(Tumhe hum dhoondte hain, Hamay dil dhoondta hai)2
I am looking for you, my heart is looking for me
Na ab manzil hai koi, na koi raasta hai
there is no end to this now, there is no way
Akele hain chale aao, Jahaan ho
I am all alone, come on over
Kahan awaaz de tumko, Kahaan ho
where shall I call you? Where are you?

(Ye tanhaai ka aalam, aur is par aap ka gham)2
this realm of loneliness, and the pining for you
Na jeetay hain na marte, batao kya karen hum
I am not living, nor am I dying, tell me what should I do?
Akele hain chale aao, Jahaan ho
I am all alone, come on over
Kahan awaaz de tumko, Kahaan ho
where shall I call you? Where are you?

5) NASEEB MEIN JISKE JO LIKHA THA: MP3

Naseeb Mein Jiske Jo Likha Tha Woh Teri Mehfil Mein Kaam Aaya
Whatever fate held for me this became evident in your party
Kisike Hisse Mein Pyaas Aayi Kisike Hisse Mein Jaam Aaya
Some ended up with thirst and others with a drink

Mein Ek Fasana Hoon Bekasi Ka
I am a symbol of helplessness
Yeh Haal Hai Meri Zindagi Ka
This is what my life is
Na Husn Hi Mujhko Raas Aaya
The relationship of beauty did not suit me
Na Ishq Hi Mere Kaam Aaya
Nor was her love any use to me

Naseeb Mein Jiske Jo Likha Tha

Badal Gayee Teri Manzilein Bhi
Your destination too have changed
Bichhad Gaya Caravan Se Mein Bhi
And my ways got seperated from yours
Meri Mohabbat Ke Raaste Mein
In the path of your love
Na Jaane Ye Kya Muqaam Aaya
I am not sure of this stage that I reached

Naseeb Mein Jiske Jo Likha Tha

Tujhe Bhoolane Ki Koshishein Bhi
The many attempts that I made to forget you
Tamaam Nakaam Ho Gayi Hain
Have been unsuccessful
Kisine Zikr-e-wafa Kiya Jab
When someone mentioned loyalty
Zubaan Pe Tera Hi Naam Aaya
Your Name Came To My Lips

Naseeb Mein Jiske Jo Likha Tha

Teri aankhon ke siva duniya me rakha kya hai
What else is there in the world apart from your eyes
Ye uthe subaha chaley, ye jhukhe shaam dhale,
Looking up the morning starts, when they close, darkness prevails
Mera jeena mera marna inhi palkonke thaley,
My life and death depends on these eyelashes

Teri aankhon ke siva duniya me rakha kya hai
What else is there in the world apart from your eyes


(Palkonke galiyon me chehre bahaaron ke hasthe hue
In those pathways of eyes are the faces of the laughter and happiness of spring
Hai mere khabonke kya kya nagar in mein basthey hue)2
All my dreamlands are here in your eyees

Mera jeena mera marna inhi palkonke thaley,
My life and death depends on these eyelashes
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya me rakha kya hai
What else is there in the world apart from your eyes

(Inme mere aanewaley zamaane ki tasveer hai
In your eyes reside the image/picture of my future
Chahat ke kaajal se likhee hui meri taqdeer hai)2
With kohl of love my destiny written

Mera jeena mera marna inhi palkonke thaley,
My life and death depends on these eyelashes
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya me rakha kya hai
What else is there in the world apart from your lovely eyes
Ye uthe subaha chaley, ye jhukhe shaam dhale,
Looking up the morning starts, when they close, darkness prevails
Mera jeena mera marna inhi palkonke thaley,
My life and death depends on these eyelashes

Teri aankhon ke siva duniya me rakha kya hai
What else is there in the world apart from your lovely eyes

arms has arrived

Dil Jo Na Kehesaka.
What my heart couldn't say

Touba Yeh Kisane Anjuman Sajake,
Fie ! Who's bedecked this assembly
(Tukde Kiye Hein Guncha-e-wafa Ke,)2
And into pieces torn the buds of faithfulness
Ooo Uchalon Gulon Ke Tukde,
Toss them - these flower petals
Ke Rangin Fizavon Mein, Rehene Ki Raat Aayi
For the night to be surrounded by colourful
blooms has arrived

Dil Jo Na Kehesaka.
What my heart couldn't say

Chaliye Mubarak, Jashn Dosti Ka,
Let's bless this celebration of friendship
(Daaman Tho Thama, Aapne Kisi Ka,)2
Chosen someone you have at least
Ooo Hamen Tho Khushi Yahi Hai,
I am happy even for you,
Tumeh Bhi Kisi Ko Apna, Kehene Ki Raat Aayi
This night when you can call someone your own has arrived

Dil Jo Na Kehesaka.
What my heart couldn't say

Saagar Utavo, Dil Ka Kisko Gam Hai,
Glass of wine who care for the heartache
(Aaj Dil Ki Queemat, Jaam Se Bhi Ham Hai,)2
This day the value of the heart is less than a cup of wine
Ooo Piyo Chahe Khoon-e-dil Ho,
Drink, never mind if it is my heart's blood
Ke Pite Pilaate Hi, Rehene Ki Raat Aayi.
For the night to drink and get others drunk has arrived

Dil Jo Na keh saka,
What my heart couldn't say
Vohi Raaz-e-dil,
That very heart's secret to reveal
Kehene Ki Raat Aayi..
The night of revelation has arrived

BEAUTY DOES NOT LAST FOREVER:

13) HASEEN HO TUM KHUDA NAHIN HO: MP3

Haseen ho tum khuda nahin ho
You are beautiful but you are not God
Tumhara sajda nahin karenge
We will not prostrate before you
Magar mohabbat mein huqm doge
Even if in love's way you give a command
Tau hanste-hanste yeh jaan bhi denge
Then gladly we will lay down this life

Haseen ho tum khuda nahin ho
You are beautiful but you are not God
Tumhara sajda nahin karenge
We will not prostrate before you
Magar mohabbat mein huqm doge
Even if in love's way you give a command
Tau hanste-hanste yeh jaan bhi denge
Then gladly we will lay down this life

Haseen ho tum khuda nahin ho
You are beautiful but you are not God

(Samajhte ho khud ko jaane kya tum
What do you think of yourself
Ke saari duniya ko khaakh jaana,)2
That the world appears to be nothing
Ghuruur ka sar jhukega ek din,
The proud head will bow one day
Hansega tum par bhi yeh zamaana,
The world will laugh at you too
Hamesha yeh din nahin rahega
But that beauty will not last forever
Hamesha ye din nahi rahenge
As these days will not last forever

Haseen ho tum khuda nahin ho
You are beautiful but you are not God

(Hamaari nazaron ka shukr keejiye
Give thanks to our sights
Ki aasmaan par tumhein bithaaya)2
That in observing we put you on a pedestal
Hamaare dil ko duaaye deejiye
Give blessings to our heart
Ke dhadkanon mein tumhein basaaya
That your beauty is causing heartbeats
Bulandiyon se giroge tum bhi
Crest fallen you will be
Agar nigaahon se hamm girenge
If in your eyes we fall

Haseen ho tum khuda nahin ho
You are beautiful but you are not God

(Hamaare jaise agar hain laakhon
If like me there are millions
Tumhaare jaise bhi kam nahin hain,)2
So like you, there are but a few
Jo khud he patthar se phod len sar
With a stone a head will break
Voh aur honge voh ham nahin hain
There may be such, but I am not one of those
Nahin mohabbat mein mar sake jo
Those who will not die in love
Bhala voh jeekar hi kya karenge.
What is the use of such a life

Haseen ho tum khuda nahin ho
You are beautiful but you are not God

CONCERT IN HONOR OF MOHD RAFI:

Mohammed Rafi draws packed house 28 years after death

Mumbai, May 19 (IANS) Songs by legendary singer Mohammed Rafi drew a packed house here 28 years after his death, and audiences were in for a surprise as an evergreen voice from the yore took the stage again, rekindling memories and melodies of an era gone by.

'Mujhko apne gale laga lo..' and 'Thahariya hosh me aa loon', sung by the forgotten Mubarak Begum wafted across the lush green lawns of the Green Court Club on the city's outskirts Sunday night.

Begum has sung many a duet with Rafi during the late 1950s and '60s.

As the songs by the *Begum progressed, a wedding reception nearby stopped its own music and the guests enjoyed a musical feast.

The Green Court Club was observing a musical nite 'Aasmaan Se Aaya Farishta..' to commemorate Rafi's 28th death anniversary (July 31), nearly two months in advance on public demand and to avoid the monsoon.

Club chairman Vijay Saini, pointing at the 2,000-plus gathering and another 1,000-odd waiting to gain entry, told IANS: 'See, Mohammed Rafi Sahab is very much alive. Observe how the crowd is completely enchanted by the immortal Rafi numbers and is enjoying without a noise..'

Organised by the Mohammed Rafi Foundation, singers of a professional orchestra rendered around 30 popular Rafi numbers.

But the Begum's entry, after about 10 songs were sung, took the Rafi fans by surprise. The crowd was on its feet and welcomed her with a thunderous applause.

The 70-year-old Begum sang the two songs without a note or tune going awry. Though feeble in body, her voice was as fresh as ever and she got a standing ovation from the crowd that wanted more.

The show brought out some rare gems from the music of Rafi and some little-known anecdotes from his life too.

For instance, it was revealed that the late Naushad Ali had originally commissioned the late crooner, Talat Mehmood, for the entire album of 'Baiju Bawara'.

However, Naushad was a man free of vices and when he learnt that Talat Mehmood was a chain-smoker, he dropped him and signed on Rafi. And the rest as they say is history.

A family from the nearby suburb of Dahisar came all the way just to hear the evergreen songs by Rafi.

H. Mehta, a senior executive with a multinational company, said: 'My parents, both in their '70s, and my daughters both below 10, and my wife feel the effort was worth it.'

'Rafi sahab is still amongst us,' H. Mehta added as the song 'Aaj kal tere mere charche' was playing in the background.

Ajay Saini, director of the club, said they had not anticipated such a crowd and had to double the number of seats at the last minute.

As the function came to a close after nearly four hours, music buffs returned homes with the tuneful memories of Rafi, who ruled the film music world and audiences for nearly four decades.
