Thanks a lot to Mr. Haldar, Mr. Ramaswamy, Mrs. Ratna, Mr. Sai Eranky, Mr. PL Narasimham Ji, Mr.Shyam Mr. Ramakrishna, Mr. Gurumurthy, Mr. Parveen, Mr. Ahmed Kutty Sir for your responses. In fact, I would still appreciate if some of you listen to the song after reading the article. Maybe you will find more than I have already narrated. Did I do justice in describing the song ?? I am sure the song will provoke the likes of you all to say more about Rafi Sahab. I am still listening to it atleast once every day it continues to haunt me. Those who do not have the song, pls contact me at asmurty2@rediffmail.com and I shall email to them.

Murty sir,

Really a very nice number which you have presented. You have dug out another Diamond which was lost due to our lack of attention. Thanks a lot sir.

I can say this much sir , ‘ ke nagma vahee jo dilko ko chuey aur rooh tak phehel jaaye, aur yeh karishma sirf apna rafi sahab hi karsaktey hain ‘

aur mujhey behat khushi is baat ki hai ke log heerey ko dhirey dhirey pehechan rahein hain, kyon key asli heerey ko pehechan ney main kaafi waqt lagtaa hai, akhir bhagwan ke ghar main der hai par andher nahin hai ‘

murty sir aapko bahut dhanyavaad jo aap koshish kar raheinhain. hum aap key saath hai.

Naushad saab and Rafi Saab combination is one of the best in Hindi cinema.
The entire style of Indian film music had been changed by these two veterans
through ‘Biju Bawra’ and it given life for so many artists after that.It affected
all other languages as well.

Very good articles and insights into Rafi. Keep posting more regularly. The golden voice of Rafi spans not only generations but countries and continents. This site gives us a medium to share this bliss with others who feel the same way when they listen to his songs all across the globe.
As for talent shows , I think today’s music is guided more by commercial value than anything else. Each singer seems to be suitable for a certain genre of songs. These songs are part of the use and throw culture which has permeated the film industry also. Anyway, I would rather have these talent show singers not sing Rafi songs and spoil them, but sing the ones that suit their voice. Rafi’s songs are for you to keep forever and not a one time affair.

AS Murty seems to deserve a Ph D for his insight and research into Rafi’s contribution to Indian Film Msic. Undoubtedly, Mohd Raf is the doyen and no doubt he is immortal. I am a regular reader of his posts and feel enriched from his well researched articles.

We request more such informative articles from Mr. AS Murty on less known but great songs from Rafi. Frankly, I do not recollect this song from Aadmi but now that Murty has described this song so beauitifully and with full passion, I shall listen to it.

Once again , Kudos to you Murty. Please continue your great selfless effort and please keep us posted with more such musical info ab rafi saaheb. God bless you.

Congratulations, Mr. Murty on your wonderful research on Mohd. Rafi saheb’s immense contribution to the Music World - particularly to the listening pleasure of old-timers like myself.

My own collections take me back to that Golden Era of Rafi Saheb when he enthralled not only by his solos like :
- Dil Mein Chhupake Pyar
- Tera Khilona Toota Baalak
- Ek Dil Ke Tukde Hazar Huye
- Mohabbat Ke Dhoke Mein
- Tasveer Banata Hoon
- Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki
- Man Tarapat Hari Darshan
-Aaye Na Balma
- Tera Kaam Hai Jalna Parwane
-Yeh Zindagi Ke Mele
- Lal Lal Gaal
- Chhupne Wale Samne Aa
-Basti Basti Parbat Parbat
-Jin Raaton Mein Neend
- Maine Chand Aur Sitaron Ki Tamanna Ki Thi
- Parwar Digar-e-Alam

and many many more heart-rending compositions,
but also youth-awakening bubbler duets like:

- Yeh Hai Bombai Meri Jaan
- Uden Jab Jab Zulfen Teri
- Jaane Kahan Mera Jigar Gaya Ji
- Yaar Chulbula Hai
- Aaye Hain Door Se
- Sun Sun Sun Sun Zalima
- Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi
- Yeh Aankhen Uff Yunma

and many many more to recollect to liven up and re-awaken our dormant young spirits!!!

Congratulations, once again! Keep good music eternally live!

this song is a masterpiece. it should have won more accolades than the other two solos in the film. only rafi could have given it the depth and feeling to this composition which is full of pathos. the song invariably brings tears to eyes. would dilip kumar have been so evocative as an actor, if he did not have the rafi vocal to give him back up? i wonder

Dear Murty,

Wonderful. It seems our tastes are similar. Very often I use to hum this song “my tooti hui ik nayya hoon”. I think we must make an album of such beautiful collections and give it as a gift to all the FM wallas who play all dirty and rubbish songs and those who organise all these reality shows. I agree with you that Lataji should have gone a step further and highlighted the impact and importance of singing her as well as Rafi saab’s songs in the reality shows instead of advising them to sing their own songs. From where will they bring their own songs? It is very difficult to understand.
