Mohd Rafi and Filmi Ghazals
This article is written by Mr. A.S.Murty
For Mohd. Rafi, ghazal singing must have come naturally. Having come from an Urdu background, he must have been influenced early in life with Urdu couplets and Ghazals, just like any other boy of his background. Hindi film music has produced many great Ghazal exponents and Mohd. Rafi is one of these greats. His added gift of clarity in voice, pronunciation and diction went a long way in presenting to the Hindi film music many a great ghazal composition. Some of the very best that come instantly to mind are (1) Mujhe Dard-e-dil ka pata na tha, mujhe aap kisliye mil gaye, (2) Na kisi ki aankh ka noor hun, na kisike dil ka karar hun, (3) Lagta Nahir Hai dil mera ujade dayar mein (4) Tujhe Kya Sunaun Mein Dilruba Tere Saamne Mera Haal hai, (5) Zara Sun Hasina-e-naznin Mera Dil Tujhi Pe Nissar hai (6) Bhari Duniya Mein Aakhir dil ko samjhane kahan jayen, (7) Gujre Hain aaj ishq mein hum is makam se, (8) Naseeb Mein Jiske jo Likha Tha (9) Zindagi Aaj mere naam se sharmati hai, (10) Door Rah Kar Na Karo Baat Karib Aa jao. There are many more which readers may like to point out.
From the film GHAZAL, the evergreen – Rang Aur Noor Ki Baraat Kise Pesh Karun – is one Ghazal for all seasons. The song was not only popular in the 60s but is hummed by all Ghazal lovers and Urdu poetry followers even to this day. Other two variations of the same Ghazal one each by Rafi himself and by Lata Mangeshkar from the same film – Ishq Ki Garmiyen Zajbaat Kise Pesh Karun and Nagma our Sher Ki Saugat Kise Pesh Karun were also equally well rendered. But the soul of that film and indeed of that era was the first song from this film.
Mohd. Rafi sang many duets which are Ghazals and with all female singers alike. Notable among them were with Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle and Suman Kalyanpur. While he never tried to dominate, his superior singing always put him ahead of his female singers. Not that these three ladies did not justify themselves, they did splendidly. But they were left a notch too short when compared to Mohd. Rafi. Dile-e-betab ko seene se lagana hoga , Mijaze Garami Duwa hai aapki, Humsafar Saath Apna Chhod Chale are all examples of the highest standards of Ghazal singing by Rafi and the female singers mentioned above.
I sometimes wonder whether there will be music of any kind left in the Hindi film world after a few years. The way things are going – all noise and no sense of lyrics or compositions – leave alone any sensible singing – the doomsday is not further than a few years for the Hindi film music. The film industry must think about it seriously. They lyricists should write beautiful and meaningful poetry. The Music directors should revive the old magic of the yesteryears and the singers, for whatever they are worth, should learn from the great masters who have left behind them troves of treasurers in the form of tens of thousands of the best of music. Music companies would reap rich dividends if they compile the various moods of Mohd. Rafi life Bhajans, Romantic Songs, Sad songs, Ghazals, Patriotic songs, Qawwalis, etc. and release fresh volumes in each style.. These would sell like hot cakes and would also benefit millions of new generation music lovers who are desperately seeking to enjoy music where there is none these days.
Other notable Ghazals from the Rafi stable include – Tum Ek Baar Muhobbat Ka Intehan Toh Lo, Kal Raat Zindagi Se Mulaqat ho Gayi, Maana mere Hasin Sanam Tu Rashke Maahtab hai, Koi Nazarana Lekar Aaya Hun Main Diwana Tere Liye, etc. The list is certainly endless and I could add many more to it. But I would like Rafians out there to respond and interact by sending their comments and complete the list of Ghazals sung by the greatest singer of all times – MOHD RAFI.
PHIR BHI HUM JAHAN MEIN TERE TARANE LIYE PHIRTE HAIN
Mohammad Rafi Saheb ki awaaz ko na hum bholayenge na bhola payenge.
Bas inke tarane duniyan me gun gunayenge.

I am amazed at the comments that have been appearing at the end of my article written with a specific purpose to sing praise where praise is required. I agree that I neither have full knowledge of all the thousands of ghazals that Rafi sahab had rendered and also that I may have forgotten to add many more that are known to me. Suffice it to say, all I had intended was to write on a topic called ghazals from hindi films which were sung by rafi sahab. Sure many great comments have also followed my article and many more have given valuable inputs too. However, of the 82 comments so far received on this article, I find it very disheartening that almost half of them are not exactly comments on my article or the subject on which I had wanted rafians to react, but sadly and disgustingly they were nothing less than “war of words”. While sending a comment, the readers should stick to the theme of the article and may praise or criticize the author. But straying on to different paths and almost mudslinging one another makes no sense to me at all. I too go through all the articles that are published on the website every day and sometimes I do give my thoughts. But let us be sensible enough not to indulge in such petty squabbles as to make first timers visiting this website make it their last. We all like good music and we have the highest regards of the singers of the past, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, Manna De, Mahendra Kapoor, K.L. Saigal and all the others from the distaff side. But still this is not the site for us to shower them with praises. There are several other websites which are devoted to musicians, singers and people from the glamour world and those who find the grass is greener elsewhere, let them stick to their fences. Why indulge in uncalled for diatribe with true rafi lovers ?? This website could more than just “moderation” before a comment is posted. It could delete a deregotary comment, if need be. That would filter most of the dirt-war that is unnecessarily generated. Think about it, Sir.
Hard to say becos any words or letters are not enogh to praise him the world is so unfortnate to miss him
Dear mr. sawant,
I, on behalf of all ghazal lovers, thank you for posting such a nice and
descried article. Your job is praisworthy.
Thank you very much Sawant Saab for the beautiful article on “GAZAL”. I feel we are using the word GAZAL very loosely and simply call every alternate song a GAZAL.
http://smriti.com/urdu/ghazal.def.html
A basic question. Can any body explain me what is actually a GAZAL?
Dear Raaj kumar akela…
Pls. read post 71 of PEARL AND DO visit http://www.yoodleyoo.com, spend
some time and read responses to the article : Rafi vs. Kishore.
Here some illiterates have put some roadside phrases for rafi saab
which we vehemently object. They have no content and only limited
vocabulary – for Kisore Kumar, you will find…
Pearl it seems are supporting these illiterates and hence these war
of words…. between us.. Besides some facts – about the music
industry – upsets these narrow minded music lovers…
binu nair
binu nair
I wonder what this name “BINUS2000″ is and what this name “PEARL” is !
And they are biting each other…wah ! Lux kya scene hai ? Why do not they
come out with their real names ?
tairna hai to nadi me aao
kinaron me kya rakha hai !
Pyar karna hai to bahon me aao
isharon me kya rakha hai !!
this website is slowly changing into a battle-field where a continue cold-war
can be seen between Rafians and KK fans.
what a pity !
music is a thing that takes us to heavenly mirth…but this dirty fighting is defaming music…
rafi saab was always the best singer and a noble human being. The whole
Bollywood knows this. Only a fool (like … … & …) can raise questions on
Rafi Sabb’s talent and Godgifted ability.
so friends, ignore few lunatics and enjoy the heavenly melodies of Rafi Saab.
debjyotis kkkalansand abhishek -all are rafi fans.they clearly know that some bad comments agaist rafi will surely ignite a detailed talk about rafi and his greatness.they are surely getting satisfaction from the subsequent discussions.some people are like this.they never say any thing straight.
Dear Pearl:
Please Cool down and advise your debjyotis, KK kalans and abisheks to
instead learn manners and don t call the greatest ever singer
and humble mohd rafi — hai .. hai. Why dont you get excited when
they call these treacherous words for Mohd Rafi…. D o you also
belong to these sadak chaap school mr. pearl… if not… please
disassociate from these sadak chaaps….and illiterates … who pen
words in yoodledoodle.com the Kishore Kumar website…
You ask me whether I am a musically literate….
Well I am a music lover… of vintage songs and of melodious songs of any genre….I speak to musically rich personalities everywhere and based
on this, I give my views….
I find your poser and views very idiotic and childish and I do hope
you do not get personal in these columns……
To All Music Lovers n Rafians especially who are active in this great website
We have only one birth to live and let us enjoy by listening to the greatest singing legend Rafi Sahab whose voice has mesemerised millions of music lovers across the world.
So let us ignore Abhishek,Debojit n KKclan who are only one person and even if he cries fouly 1000 times that Rafi is ordinary compared to his favourite the Truth cannot change. Rafi Sahab is unmatched in Melody,Versatality,Range,Humility and Favourite of All listeners of Bollywood music field (except few like KKclan who blindly follows )
Murty sir,
Congrats for a qualitative article and no singer can match Rafi Sahab in quality n quantity Ghazal singing in films.
all the song of Muhammad Rafi is very good
Hi Binus,
Sadakchhap aur musically illiterates ?
Are you musically literate ? let me know about your musical knowledge.
About writing the same on yoodleeyoo, haven’t seen such idiotic comparisons
and bashing. If you can show me will do this there too.
Thanks
Hope, you will change your attitude and learn some manner.
Rafi Sahab was a king among Singers, I don,t think somebody could be able to sing like him. He delivered thousands of songs with accurate imotions for every mood. Many many thanks to all those who shared collection of pictures and videos of Rafi sahab with others.
If we are talking about the filmi ghazals its ok, but if it is in general how we forget the ghazals which is composed by Mohd Rafi.
-Chale a rahe hain vo zulfen bikere…………..there are more but I want another fan to put on his post. thx
u cant help yourself from listening to ghazals sung by the greatest singer ever late mohd rafi saab.They include; ghazab kiya tere vade pe aitabar kiya; yeh na thi hamari kismat; na shoke vasl ka dava hai na; kado gaqsu me shoke;unke khayal aye toh ate chale gaye; ek hi baat zamane ki kitabo me nahi; mene socha tha;teri to chand sitaron mein baat hoti hai; talkhiye main me zara talkhiye dil bhi ghole; to name a few. And as far as greatness is concern no need to say about him, for he outshines every personality in bollywood in both ways viz.talent and as a great human being.His simple yet complex style caused envy among his contemporaries including nightangle lata. Above all he is the greatest model of our secularism with bhazans of great repute.
how can i forget the scene of the movie “TEEN DEVIYAN” where my all time favourite dev saab is singing in a mushayara in a boat in kashmir and rafi saab is singing “KAHIN BEKHAYAL HOKE YUN HI CHHOO LIYA KISINE…”. double maja ! double entertainment !! one is the most handsome of all and
the other is the most melodious of all. what a pair !!!
jane kahan gaye wo din ???
Music of ‘Hum Dono’ was composed by Jaidev assistant to S D Burman.
Mr.Murty
There are two gazal in TEEN DEVIYAN – by mohd.rafi (1) Aise to na dekho..(2)Kahin bekhayal ho ke by music director S.D.Burman,Also s.d burman given kabhi khud pe in hum dono and upar wala jan ke anjaan hai – kaala bazaar
There are beautiful gazals by SJ in mere hazoor,aman.Ek naari ek brahmchari
ANd LP has also given with rafiji some memorable gazals in mere hum dum mere dost,intequam,Jaal
Tarif karoon kya unki jisne tume banaya
This song sang by rafiji says much more for him,what else common people say about him
The fact is that Amitabh became Amitabh on his own; forget music, he didn’t even need heroines. All the songs that have been listed in post no. 61 were sung much after Amitabh became a superstar. Anyway, none of the five songs listed qualifies as a ghazal, unless I am mistaken. In the article and the associated posts, Rafians have listed ghazals like Tujhe kya sunawoon main dilruba, Lagta nahin hai dilruba, Tumhari zulf ke saayen mein, Guzre hain aaj ishq mein, Koi sagar dil ko bahalata nahin, Kabhi khud pe kabhi halat pe, Hum bekhudi mein tum ko pukare chale gaye… and what kind of songs are being offered as comparison? Pag ghungroo bandh ke meera nache re. Rafians, let me warn you that there will soon come a day when they will say that this song is better than Madhuban mein radhika nache re. What is “de de pyar de”? I haven’t heard it; can someone tell me if it’s a ghazal, thumri or folk tune? Someone on the other forum stated that the song “Khaike paan banaraswalla” is the best folk song ever! Has the world gone crazy?
Dear rafians,
A film is whole teamwork,actor,director,M.director,singer,lyrics,etc.etc.
No one can say that it is he who made sucsses,a song or a film
Neither individual can make any thing one handedly,its a team work.
But if one can analyisis and see whole filmy singers and hindi songs than it is naked truth that only Rafiji is versatile singers who had sings masti bhare geet,bhajans,qwallis,dard bhare nagme,gazals,with eual eas.
Rafi sang many songs for amitabh before and after his stardom.A song from dostana – Mere dost e kissa kya hogaya is to be listen,to see that how he renderd perticular song that you can not image Kishoreda can able to sing with that depth.
For rajesh khanna lastly he sang for mehbbob ki mahendi.
Honestly answering…kishor was a popular singer when amitabh was just struggling. so nobody can say amitabh popularized kishor.
but yes, when kishor sang a song “dekha na haye re …” in film “bombay
to goa” it was a hit song. then this “jodi” gave so many popular songs like
1. manzilen apni jagah hai
2. ke pag ghunghroo bandh
3. o sathi re tere bina bhi kya jeena
4. jahan teri ye nazar hai
5. de de pyar de
and many many more that helped in the growth of amitabh’s popularity. i am not glorifying kishor kumar but everybody knows the fact.
remove the songs from, sholay,deewar,trishul, it does not make any difference.
But with Amar Akber Anthony,the story is different
who can give one song which singed by Mohd Rafi for Amitabh and Rajesh Khanna when they were superstar and the song is not hit?plz plz take me.
Look the greatness of Mohd Rafi he loved the Actor(Amitabh)he didn’t sung much more him and he loved the flim he didn’t sung in it…..
plz answer only if u r honest
Kishore made Amitabh famouse or Amitabh made Kishore??plz plz plz KK fans give me one name who said that he is because of KK??????IF I am not wrong in Music the KING was Anil Biswas in 1940’s in 1950’s Naushand Ali,in 1960’s was SJ and in 1970’s was LP after Mohd Rafi there was no king in music world.
Rajesh Roshan said once that u r saying why we don’t give good music as we gave in 1970’s because there is no one like Mohd Rafi with us.
how can give one song which singed by Mohd Rafi for Amitabh when Amitabh was superstar and the song is not super hit and same to Rajesh Khanna plz?
Zamana jab talak ghata rahe ga Mohd Rafi har waqt yaad aata rahe ga
By great Naushand
Tujhe naghmon ki jaan ahle nazar yoon hi nahi kahte
Tere geeton ko dilon ka humsafar yoon hi nahi kahte
Dukhi the laakh fir bhi mutmain the dard ke mare
Teri aawaz ki shabnam se dhul jate the gham sare
Teri tano me husne zindagi leta tha angdai
Tujhe baksha tha allah ne andaze maseehai
Tu hi tha pyar ka ek saaz is nafrat ki duniya me
Ghanimat thi teri aawaz is nafrat ki duniya me
Mahfilon ke daman me sahilo ke aaspas
Ye sada goonjegi sadiyon tak dilon ke aaspas
Respected Admin,
I am requesting you to put an article by Guru Murthy ” Rafi Do Pehlu Geet” in you Popular Post
Mr. A. S. Murthy quiet OK, as you said there is long list of Rafi Saab Film Ghazals, I agree, but you must never forget if you write artcle on Film Ghazal You must write about “Habba Khatoon’s†Ghazal, Jis Raat Ke Khwaab Na Aaye.

Hi friends !
i do not want to poke my nose into this Rafi-kishor clash, because i see no end of this cold war. Rafi saab has said__”mere desh premiyon aapas me prem karo…” and kishor kumar has said__”pyar bant te chalo kya hindu kya muslim…”
and here thier fans are digging graves for each-other. how funny !
here we pray__May rafi saab’s soul be in peace !
May Kishorda’s soul be in peace !
No, they cann’t have peace watching down from heaven how their fans are
fighting like street rowdies. They sang to give us enjoyment and we are
fighting here to grieve their souls.
Please wake up…..grow up…..and learn how to love each-other.
Dear RAFIAN1,
I like KK some songs and i never said something wrong about KK yes I said something not good about KK but that are not said by me or any one else that are true about KK,i like kk as actor i saw most of KK flims and i liked that flims yes I don’t like KK as singer but i don’t mean in this that he is not good singer,offourse we should not compare Mohd Rafi with KK but we should answer what wrong said KK fans abot mohd Rafi,If KK fans want to play football in Day time and they want to on lights to play we should say them no need of lights at day…..

hi all rafians—its really good to see so many people writing so much on Rafisaab—indeed,rafisaab was a singer to reckon with.People keep talking so much as to who’s better- rafi or kishore.WHY?I really dont understand any logic behind this conversation.people have a right to their opinion but shouldn’t speak ill of other singers.Both Rafisaab and Kishoreda are GOOD.But were great singers in their own way.
First of all,great job done in writing this article Mr. Murthy.Secondly,i am really happy to know that Narayanji and Binuji are doing a marvellous work getting all the rafians together and providing people a means to shower their love to this GREAT LEGEND in different ways.I am looking forward to the day when we will have an archive of all the songs of rafisaab and different rare materials,be it stage shows,rare recordings,concerts,etc.
Furthermore, Binuji is also writing a biography on Rafisaab which i am eager to lay my hands on as and when its done.Keep up the good work everyone and SPECIAL THANX to UMESH MAKHIJA,BINU NAIR,NARAYANJI,VINAY KAMAL,RASHID KHAN AND G.M.ANSARI,SAYAD ZAKA RAHIM,MANOJKUMAR AND ALL THE RAFIANS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT
i feel very sad to read some of the comments by kk fans thrown against rafi.those kk fans really know the gap between rafi and kk.they think that can close that gap by some bad coments.they just want to irritate rafi fan so as to stop any serious discussion onthis site
I do not know what is ghazal. i know nothing about ghazal.
but whenever i listen to rafi saab’s these nos….
“kitni rahat hai dil toot jane ke baad..”
“na shouk-e-wasl…”
“dil ki baat kahi nahi…”
“talkhiye may me…”
“gazab kiya tere wade pe…”
i think yes, this is ghazal. i love rafi saab’s few private songs too…
“Mai kab gata mere swar me…”
“Pagal chanda…”
“kah ke bhi na aaye…” etc. etc.
long live rafi saab !!!
Mohd rafi without doubt was and still remains the greatest singer ever to have come into this world!!!
I think the last nail on the coffin of playback singing in indian cinema has already been hammered time back. There’s no quality in the lyrics, music in the songs nowadays or even in the voice of the new generation singers.
In order for bollywood to be blessed with a mindblowing and a stunning voice I request God almighty to send Mohammad rafi back once again to this world!!
Aameen.
RAFI sahab we love you
Dear Rafi sahab fans,especially to the likes of irony&unknow.
Pls keep yourself away from commenting about Kishore Kumar or any other artist in wrong way.If you people do then what is the difference between so called KK fans(I used ‘so called fans’ bcs I have a lot of fans of KK no body used to tell anything bad about Rafi sahab).We all know that Rafi sahab was a greatest humen being and he never used any bad word or played any politics in his life.He has shown us how to handle the tough situation in the life.So this my request to all fans not to skoop to their level.This site is basically for discussion & promotion of Rafi sahab among all people.If anybody see bad comments about Rafi sahab they can report to the administrator who is well known Rafi fan and surely he will remove it.
If there was no KK there was no Shammi Kapoor,If there was no KK there was no Raj Kapoor,If there was no KK there was no Naushand!!!!!!!!!???or can I say like this If there was NO KK there was no RD,SD,Rajesh Khanna and Mr Bachchan!!!?????
Anil Biswas like KK more than Mohd Rafi boz of that KK singed in only for two flim and Mohd Rafi for seven under Anil Biswas music!!!!!!!???
KK is better than Mohd Rafi because KK had four wifes and Mohd Rafi only one!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????
KK had one Rs less amount than Lata Ji when KK singed with Lata jI boz KK was sure that Lata ji is better singer than him……..!!!!!!!?????
KK can sing a song only useing one word yoodlee in ten min but Mohd rafi can’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????
i like kk some songs he was a good singer and better actor as think,
If U think that KK is God than why u want to Compare God with Human!!!!!???????????
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????
I’d like to add a few more of my favourites to the list:
Naushad’s “Mere mehboob tuhhe” and “Ae husn zara jaag uthi” (Mere Mehboob), Roshan’s “Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi” (Barsat ki Raat) and Aab kya mishal doon (Aarti) and LP’s “Hui sham unka khayal aa gaya” (MHMD).
can anybody tell me from where we can get the live stageperformance videos of rafi sahib.if anyone has any information kindly help.thnx
Please disregard viruses like abhishek and kklan and continue business!
This Abhishek…this debjyoty…and this kkklan have proved that this is the standard of kishor kumar’s fans. They have written their best and proved
themselves as the true fans of kishor kumar…like guru, like chela.
see their language…and decide what short of people they are.
actually i am surprised to see as how any nonsense letter is been published
in this site without a censorship ! tomorrow one will write…”son of a …..” or
“…. your ass” or “mother …..’ or anything like this. do we have to read all
this instead of reding something nice about rafi saab ?
actually i open this site to read some unread or something new about rafi
saab and not to read this kind of filthy statements on a great singer like
rafi saab.
i would like to request those who are behind this site to please controll all
these things. otherwise i can smell the day when this site will be a pornography site !!!
Very well said unknow1, this chap should be thrown to a mental hospital as soon as possible. Really I haven’t seen a shameless fool like Abhishek. This show his culture. How dare he write such nasty words on Rafi saheb?
I am a devotee of rafi ji.this great legend was not only a versatile singer but also a great humble human being.We feel always deprived today in the absence of such talented personalities.singers today come and go like “gone with the wind” may it be kk or anybody else.there is no comparison between rafi ji and kishore, just like lata and ashaji.all were unique. after reading few comments from people who used filthy language i am forced to say not to carry such senseless comments as it will hurt the sentiments of millions of rafiji’s fan worldwide.
Abhishek is misbegotten in this world
Admin will u plz give us address of Abhishek
KK is better than Naushad ,Madan Mohan SD RD OP Nayar and LP in making music!!!!!?????,KK can sing in female voice better than Lata ji,!!!!!????KK can was better actor than mr Bachchan and Dilip Kumar!!!!!!!!???KK was great was he had four wifes,KK was great because he never singed for free,
Do u think that i am crazy saying that?i think even a crazy will not say that kk is beter singer
Don’t worry Rafi fans Abhishek, KKKlan & Debjyoti are same person and misbegotten of some one
Abhishek, a mentally sick.
Rafi Saheb’s voice is a God granted voice.
Stupid and useless comments from kk fans, this shows the status of kk.
Abhishek and KKKLAN, you both seem to beggars.
KKKLAN, haven’t you been to school? Your words are too harsh for Rafiji, the most versatile and greatest singer! Have some manners.
KKKLAN, your brain is washed, here in africa my friends including Europeans are laughing to your silly comments whilst my friends are on net reading your comments full of nonsense…. Seems mentally you are not fit! ha… ha… ha……
I am an 11 years old boy, I have listened to both Rafiji and Kishoreji. Although Kishoreji’s some songs are good, but to me (and to the entire world) Rafiji’s is the best of all singers. I enjoy Rafiji’s non film ghazal Maine Socha tha agar Maut se pehle Pehle and Jis Raat ke Khwab Aaye… Rafiji is the best.
i would like to add filmi gazal from chambal ki kassam music by khyaam saab sher ka husn h nagme ki jawani ho tum this is one of exellent song by my rafi saab
ye abhisek aur ye debojit kya kum the sangeet ko kalankit karne ke liye jo ek aur besura/betale kkklan aa gaya ?
kya kkklan ke parents ko aur koi naam nahi mila apne bache ke liye ?
Poor parents ! poor kkklan !!!
Chandni,
you are right. “hathi chale bazar…kutta bhounke hazar”
recently there were a lot ob dog biting cases in bangalore and the municipality cought them all and poisoned and shot the street dogs.
Kash, hum bhi aisa kuchh kar sakte !!!
Rafi Saheb’s filmi ghazals are extra ordinary sung by the legend. Rafi Saheb is the best of all.
Rafiji, I salute you……
I am an 11 years old boy, and I have listened to both Rafi uncle and Kishore uncle, both are nice singers, BUT, Rafiji is the best of all. Rafiji made wonders in each and every of his song. Only Rafi Saheb will be remembered in the years coming.
KKKLAN, please open a dictionary and try to find the exact meanings of “limitations” and “versatile”. Seems you’re an another version of Abhishek or same person without having knowledge of music. KK had “shor” only in his songs. Rafi Saheb is most popular in the world.
Chandni, very well said, the whole world know Rafi Saheb is and will remain the greatest singer ever. No one (including KK) can come near to the legend Rafi Saheb.
Sure! Kishore is one of the greta singer ever in the film industry but unfortunately I cannot compare with Rafi.Rafi was popular only for his voice and just singing but Kishore Kumar was popular not only for singing but as an actor so such a person can be more popular when started singing.He also lucky to be a comtemporary for Amithab and Rajesh Kana.So he is a popular singer guy.We are only speaking abut singing so Rafi is the post clever and creative person ever for Indian music.It is vise not to deny in this.I consider all Indian singers are great and Kishore Kumar is great.

Husseinji, Raajkumarji, gali gali mein kutte bhonkte rehete hein. Achhayi isi mein hai ke ham ignore karke chalte jaayen; agar ham kutton ke bhonkne par aytaraz utayenge; tho kutton ko koyi farak nahin padega.
Another ghazal I remember now is Kitni Rahat Hai Dil Toot Jaane Ke Baad; Zindagi Se Mile; Maut Aane Ke Baad.
The whole world know Rafi Saheb is the best singer, legend of legends, nothing can be changed and no one can deny this, unless some uneducated people.
Wah Raajkumar Akela, kya baat kahi aapne… jo khud apna naam sahi tarah se nahin likh sakta woh doosron ki ghalti nikaalne chala. Anpadh Abhishek.
Dear Abhishek,
before correcting the mistake of who is great and who is greater, please watch
any movie of abhishek bachan and know the correct spelling of your own name and then come to discuss about these celebrities. Good boy !
Mr. Murthy, your compilation is good. I’d like to add a few personal favourites of mine: Koi sagar dil ko bahalata nahin (Dil Diya Dard Liya), Kabhi khud pe kabhi halat pe (Hum Dono), Hum bekhudi mein tumko pukare chale gaye (Kala Pani), Tumhari zulf ke saye mein sham kar lunga (Naunihal), Chaudhvin ka chand ho (CKC), Chhoo lene do nazuk hnoto ko (Kajal), Itnee haseen itnee jawan raat kya kare (Aaj aur Kaal), Jaane kya dhoondti raheti hai ye aankhen mujhme (Shola aur Shabnam), and Jo inki tamanna hai barbad hoga (Inteqam). My favourite composers for Rafi’s ghazals are Madan Mohan, Ravi, Naushad and Khayyam.
Dear Abhishek,
All i can say is , you really dont have a taste of music. this is the reason you have written such un-professional words against The King of Play Back Singers (Mohammed Rafi Sahab).
What you have written is just utter nonsence. Just point out one song of Kishore Da that can match Mohammed Rafi Sahabs Singing Rangeof this song (Chanda Ka dil tootgaya hai rone lage hain sitare)
Bet you havent heard it. Please do………….
As I said before, Rafi Saheb was/is an allrounder. Be a romantic, sad, patriotic, qawwali, religious, comedy, classical, and ghazal or any type of high/low pitch songs sung from his throat became so hit that, even today’s generation is singing Rafi Saheb’s songs. Here in Africa, Rafi Saheb’s songs are hummed by black (negros) people! Filmi ghazals mentioned in this article are superb, why only filmi ghazals, Rafi Saheb’s non-filmi ghazals are also enjoyable even today.
