dear mr.sivanandam,
thanks for your connoisseurlike analysis of one song which i heard dozens of times when released in 70s thru vivid bharati.
In spite of my poor knowledge of hindi, i was hooked totally to such good songs because of tune and archestra especially by musical wizards shankar -jaikishen. I recall nostalgically rafisaab’s concert in chennai and was overjoyed to hear that he started with s-j ‘s badan pe sithare from ‘Prince’ whistling in between pause as his own improvisation to the delight of audience.
We must appreciate that in days when there was only radio as source for music lovers, the shere strength of song only appealed to listners with no ad or tv or cd as props as we witness now.
greatsong and great analysis by you

Thank you Mr Sivanandam for an excellent article on an excellent song sung by our Rafi Saab.Even after about 40 years the song is so fresh.The lyrics by Neeraj,music of Shankar Jaikishen and the fabulous voice of Rafi Saab makes it one of the best songs. the photo of Rafi Saab with Hasrat,Jaikishen and Shashi Kapoor brings back old good memories.Please give us more articles on many other great songs of Rafi Saab.

Thanks to all the gentlemen who found this article interesting. With your encouragement, I hope I shall be able to contribute more in spreading the name and fame of our beloved Rafi sahab.

Aliuddin sahab-your knowledge on Shashi -Rafi combination is tremendous – personally I have not had so much information on the actors in these songs although I know most of the songs. Thanks for writing.
I would take this opportunity to place an appeal to all Rafi lovers-let us try not to talk anything negative about other singers, which of late is creating so many unpleasant comments. Do you think our beloved Rafi sahab who was always so gentle and so compassionate to fellow artists appreciate these comments. Just think about his ever smiling face-would any such harsh words came from him anytime???
I am a very ardent fan of Rafi (as anyone could guess from my article) but at the same time I also like songs by Mukesh,Kishore, Manna Dey, Talat , Lata , Yesudass, SPB . Who cannot appreciate the beauty of “Chookar mere man ko” or O sham kuch ajeeb thi from KK, Kahin door jab din dhal jaye by Mukesh, Laga chunri mein dag by Manna da, Hum se aaya na gaya from Talat, Kanto se keech ke ye aanchal from Lata, Gori tere gaon bada pyaara by Jesudass and many Tamil songs of SPB…
It is just that personally I am just moved by Rafi songs which directly touch the heart.
Let us ignore whatever others say and let us talk good things about Rafi sahab’s songs and avoid putting down others in order to praise Rafi. This is a very humble request-hope everyone understands what I am trying to say

Sivanandam Saheb, Great article, congratulations.
Rafi and Shashi combo is “Lajawab”. When Shashi’s movie “Benazeer” was released, at that time I was in High school. He is always my favourite actor. I would like to mention as many as I can, some of the beautiful Rafi & Shashi’s Naghme. Biman Baruah saheb, Aap ki khawahesh aapki nazar.
Dil me ek jane tamanna ne jagah pai hai – Benazeer
Le gayi ek haseena, dil mera – Benazeer
Five songs from – Jab Jab phool khile
Abhi na phero nazar – Biraadari
Yun rootho na haseena – Nennd hamari khwab tumhare
Yun na dekho hame bar bar – Pyar kiye ja
Kahne ki nahi baat magar ab zor se kahne hai – Pyaar kiye ja
Three songs of – Aamane Saamne
Two romantic songs of – Kanyaadan
Ho aaye baithe khaye piye khiske – Ek Shrimaan ek shrimati
Chandni raat me yun dilko jalake na jaa – Ek shrimaan ek shrimati
Kuch kahe to khafa – Ek shrimaan ek shrimati
Three sada bahar geet of – Pyar ka Mausam
Yeh tumhare raaste me phool kyon khilte hain – My love
Mai bhi haimeena bhi hai – Rootha na karo
Aaha yeh suhana safar – Suhana safar
Saari khushiyan hai muhabbath ki zamane ke liye (Pyara geet)-Suhana safar
Haye re paisa – Suhana safar
Sone deti hai na yeh raat – Patanga
Ham ko to jaan se pyari hain tumhari aankhen – Naina
Nazar jab uthai dua ban gayi – Naina
Uf sambhal ke chali jana, varna gir jaogi – Vachan
Aapko pyar huva – Vachan
Kuch log yahan par aise hain, har rang me rang badalte hain – Vardan
Dil ki geharaayiyan tak nazar aati hai – Prem kahaani
Prem hai kya ek aansoo – Prem kahaani
Teri meri baat nahi, qismat ka khel hai saara – Koi jeeta koi haara
Aaja re aaja kahin se aaja – Naach uthe sansaar
Aagaya re tera pagal preetam – Naach uthe sansaar
Sookhi dharti dhool udaave – Naach uthe sansaar
Mujkh ko jeene ki to duva sabhi dete – Naach uthe sansaar
Are ham baaton ke ham baadshah – Farishta ya Qaatil
Bacchiyan jawan te budhiyan hai sab – Phansi
Kaali ghat chai prem rut aayi – Kaali ghata
Jaane walon ka gham to hota hai – Kaali ghata
Tum mere pyar ki duniya me basi ho jabse – Bombay talkie
Soniye tera kya hai jo bhi naam – Sweet heart
Apni kamaayi pyaar ki, na karz na hundi – Paakhandi
Long live Rafi Sahab,
With regards to Rafi lovers,
Shab Bakhair,
Dr. Khaja Aliuddin
