Jahan-e-moseequee mayn aap sa rootba Rafi saheb
Na pehlay tha,na hai aur na kabhi hoga Rafisaheb

Tabassum say kabhi khali na dekha aap ka chehra
Takallum aap sa hum nay naheen paya Rafi saheb

Jagaaya aap nay duniya may woh aawaz ka jadoo
Huwa bus aap ka her shakhsh garweeda Rafi saheb

Teray hum-aser bhi hain mo-a-tarif teri haqeeqat kay
Rahay har daur may bus aap hee aala Rafi saheb

Payamber aap thay mosiquee kay beshak zamanay may
Baja yeh qaul tha Naushad saheb ka Rafi saheb

Ghazal ho geet ho ya kay bhajan ho ya ho qawwali
Her ek fun may naya andaaz dikhlaya Rafi saheb

Khuda nay aap ki aawaz may woh soz bakhsha tha
Bina seekhay hee sub kuch aap nay seekha Rafi saheb

Go Shammi ho kay Rajender ho,Dharmenser kay Jitender
Teri aawaaz ka sab per raha saaya Rafi saheb

Tumharee bartari hai aaaj tak qayam zamanay may
Qayamat tak bajay ga aap ka danka Rafi saheb

Sukoon- e- y qalb milta hai tumharey geet sun sun ker
Wager na aaj kay naghmon may kya rakkha Rafi saheb

Tumhari naqal karney ki badi koshiush sabhi nay ki
Na la paya koee tarzay bayan tum sa Rafi saheb

Chalay tum saath lay ker zindagee may deen-o duniya ko
Buzurgon ka sad tum per raha saya Rafi saheb

Zameen per reh kar bhi tum nay farishton seee sifat payee
Diya rab nay tumhay yeh martaba aa;la Rafi saheb

Takabbur aur ghamand say aap nay nata naheen joda
Banaya khaksaree ko faqat shewa Rafi saheb

Kiyay ehsaan jin jin per woh ab bhi yaad kertay hain
magar tum nay na ehsaan jatlaya Rafi saheb

Jawaherlal nehru nay tumhay eajaaz woh bakhsaha
Kisee doojay nay woh eajaaz nay paya Rafi saheb

Meri bhi bus yahee hasrat rahee dil may
Tumhaara aakhri deedaar ho jaata Rafi saheb

Duwa hai qaber ho teri munawwer noorey yazdan say
Kay ho wahan bhi tumhara martraba aala Rafi saheb

Aameen

  6. Sunil Kumar says:

    I m great Fan of Mohd Rafi becuse I feel tht his voice had great sense of belongingness and Whenever u close eyes u can feel it . No other singer and there are many greats but none to compete with him. There is not so much variety of bhajans, Patriotic songs ,classical songs, qawwalis,ghazals in one person whom I admire and mad.He was truly a gift to music world .

  7. Ghulam Murtuza says:

    Mohd. Rafi, when this name sounds to the ears or when this name comes to the mind it seems that various ragas are echoing in the whole galaxy. And that we are floating a very high far away from the earth. I think such personalities are sent specially by the Almighty to charge the world and its creatures.
    Hearty Welcome & Thanx to Dr. Yunus. Please also inform me about non-film bhajans & ghazals of Rafi Sa’b. my email is “gmurtuza_eden@yahoo.co.in” my cell is 98273 53558.

    Bahat khushi hui aapke posts padh kar.
    Allah ki ek bas karamat hai ke sirf ek wo hamare Rafi sahab hi hain jinke liye log aisi deewangi ki numaish karte hain.

    “Agar khuda sajde ki ijazat deta to main RAFI SAHEB ko sajda karta meri deewan isse badka kya hogi.” — is sajde ke katar me hume bhi shamil kar lijiye, dil ki baat kah di hai aapne zubaan se.

    dear naveed saab mahender kapoor ji always consider rafi saab as his own eldest brother he used to be with rafisaab always

  16. Naveed says:

    Rafi Sahab was the best singer of all times. He was very humble in his life. Mohander Kapoor the great singer has spent a lot of time with Rafi Sahab. He said one day I was staying with Rafi Sahab during a visit. The night time I found him standing in the ballconey of his room. I asked Rafi Sahab what you were thing. He told me Almighty Allah gave me such a high place in my life that I never thought about. I do not know how I say thanks to Allah. Allah make this grave a peace of paradise. Amin

  17. dosti says:

    Anoop ji..

    Rafi saab was covered by various channels from 30 th july itself.

    Kishore Kumars birthday is on Aug.4th and on this day Sanjay dutt
    was not sent to jail. He was sent to jail on July 31st.

    Rafi saab stays in peoples heart.

    binu nair.

  19. Anoop Rawal says:

    Binuji,

    I am a die hard fan of rafisaab and consider him as mausiki ka masiha and feel that wihtout his contribution mausiki ka tasvur bhi nahin kiya ja sakta. But I don’t understand why there was not enough coverage given to him by the media on his death anniversary. While Kishore Kumar birth anniversary on 4th August was given ample coverage throughout the day.

    Jaawad Naseem ji:
    The Rafi foundation team along with myself were there from 9.00 am
    up to 8.00 p.m. without a break . We received a large number of visitors
    who came from far and near.. you must know that people keep rafi saab
    in their hearts and pictures at their home along with rafi classics..
    You cannot expect people thronging at a sacred site like one sees at
    Churchgate station or at Connaught place or at the howrah railway
    station.
    Next year u will not see any photographs : for they are banned..

    Let us comment on the topic relevant to what Dr yunus wrote.

  28. Mahender says:

    Thank you Dr. Sahab. This one personality will keep shaking our souls throughout our lives. This is one example where he touched all the heights in music and still remained as humble as himself. I saw one song that he sang on stage, this song is from Teesri Manzil…three things that I noticed were…the song itself..Rafi Sahab’s appearance and humbleness with which he stood on the stage..and the applause that audience gave him.
    Rafi sahab kabhi bhi humse door nahi jaa sakte. Bhagwan unki atmaa ko shaanti de. And I’m thankful to God almighty who showered his blessings on all of us by sending this angel on earth.

  34. ziyaad says:

    TO OPV THE REASON WHY RAFI SAAB TOMB IS SO SIMPLE BECAUSE IT IS FORBIDEN IN ISLAM TO BUILD ANY KIND OF DECORATION OR RAISE ANY BUILD UP TOMB . EVEN GREAT MUSLIM PERSONALITIES GRAVES ARE SIMPLE

  35. RAMAKRISHNA says:

    Mr OPV I too had the same feeling. But latter it was cleared to me that in ISLAM they believe that after death all are equal and positioned at the same place without any classifcation. Of course it pains us extremely but as far as the religion goes we have to abide by it. But anyway for all of us RAFI sahab is IMMORTAL. Its only his mortal remains have made a journey. He is there in you, me and all his true lovers. I deply share your feelings & emotions for RAFI sahab.

  36. mohanflora says:

    Thanks Doctor Saab!

  37. OPV says:

    I’m surprised that Rafi Saab’s grave is as simple as that. It is almost unkempt and uncared for. Is there a reason why such a giant personality does not have a proper marbled tombstone and tomb?
