Depiction of a Blind Love: Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar
© mohdrafi.com
There is a saying that ‘love makes someone blind’. What if a blind man falls in love? How can love be depicted through his blind eyes? The song ‘Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar‘ illustrates the truth that love has only one constraint- it should be between two devoted souls. If there is a devoted soul to understand the feel of love, you need not have the eyes to see the beauty of it, nor do you need the words to express the feelings of your heart.
How can love be so beautiful for a blind person? The song ‘Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar‘ explains it. The singer wishes to profess his love for his beloved by placing her in his eyes. If the lady in love is contained in his eyes, the effect of the love is automatically absorbed to his heart. He wishes to absorb the beauty of her love through her smile. He visualizes the entire world through the love of his beloved. The world has bestowed him with whole of the happiness through his love. In return to the eternal happiness, he is promising her to absorb all her sorrows to his heart.
Can ‘Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar‘ be considered as a throbbing of a silly soul, stricken by an infatuation? Of course, not. The depth of their love can be grasped by the deepest wish of the singer to make a passionate love towards his beloved.
Through the lyrics of the song ‘Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar‘ Sajan Dehelvi imparted a sensational feel about love to the lovers of the genre of the Bollywood of the 70’s.
Almost all the movies of Bollywood have depicted love in different forms, and many songs have been created from time immemorial to give life to the loving couples. However, the song ‘Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar‘ distinguishes itself from a large number of other songs, in its music quality, lyrics, and above all the voice of Rafi Sahab.
Mohammed Rafi, the legendary singer who immortalized many loving souls, once again struck the loving couples of the world with this song ‘Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar‘ in the movie ‘Thokar’. Mohammed Rafi – Sajan Dehelvi - Shyamji Ghanshyamji trio is behind the creation of this great romantic song of the era.
Rafi had been selected as the debateless singer for this song just because of the versatility he possessed in his singing. Being a maestro in Indian classical music and a variety of other Indian music, Rafi saab had been the perfect choice for a large number of movie songs for more than three decades.
The movie ‘Thokar’ directed by Dilip Bose was released in 1974. The theme of the story teaches the world a very important lesson that money cannot give the ultimate satisfaction to any soul. It can be achieved only through the power of eternal love.

rafi came to planet earth to destroy the evils of music. I remember; music director Vasant Desai once said that ” rafi ek shapit gandharva tha jo apne prayshcit ke liye dharti par aaya tha” his singing will still be there even after humanity will not be there..

Music Director Shyamji Ghanshamji scored nice songs in “Dheun Ki Lakeer” as well, the song ‘Daur Woh Aa Gaya Dil Ke Armaan Lute…’ sung so nicely by Rafi Saheb was the film’s attraction. Anybody need this song can mail me.
