its avery nice song sung by Rafi saheb.this song was also sung by him Live on stage in Karachi(Pakistan), and the line “MAHAL UDAAS AUR GALIYAN SOONNI CHUP-2 HAIN DEEWAREIN, DIL KYA UZDA DUNIA UZDI RUTH GAYIN HAIN BAHAREIN… HUM JEEWAN KAISE GUZAAREIN…..” Repeated by him in so many different mood & RAAG Which really touches deep in the heart of audience.
This song was recorded after 14 days of RIYAZ of Rafi saheb, although this song was okayed by music director Naushad on the very first day but Rafi Saheb was not satisfied by himself so he decieded to do more practice on this song & recorded it after 14 days of hard practice and made this song as KOHINOOR of indian songs.

I beg to differ. O duniya ke drakhwale is not very god. madhuban me radhika nache re is good. but naushad s best compositions i feel are with mukesh and talat. his music in ram aur shyam, was average, gawar was pathetic.
rajesh roshan(son of rroshan) was in a way totally tendsetter. he gave a music different from rest of the music directors and not based on so much of theka. his musical prodigy is not recognized as he was too ahead of his times and had a very different approach. some scores “dil kya kare, “”logo ka dil”, “kaha tak ye manko”, “my herat ois beating”,”thoda hai”, “yado me “, “kya kary sajani”, “chookar mere m,anko”,”koi roko na”, “nahi nahi”, ” meri yaad ab ke koi gul naya khilayengi”, ” sare gama re ga”, “kabh khushi kabhi gum”, “kaho na pyar hai”, ” aapko dekkh ke …”, “ik raasta hai”, “oonche neeche raste”, “teri narm sanse”, “koi roko na”,”o yara tu yaro se hai pyara”, “lehro ki tarah yade” are all very refreshingly different melodious and bring a style which was never utilized in pastr and nevr utilized now in hindi film music! he is not given his due! people spot sj, sd and rd as trend setters, opn as trend setter. but here was a silent trend setter.

xxx, naushad did not usher in tanga rhythm into film music. OP got the idea from someone else whom Naushad admired.

naushad was greatest trend setter we have ever experienced in the hfm, his association with rafi was amazing and far more divine than others with lots of qualityâ€¦

today peoples may put the shankar-jaikishan & sachin dev burman on their highest esteem and truly sj and sdb were most versatile and best , but i think naushad let the others to move in his way, the singer whom he promoted later became 1st choice of everyone was not at all coincidence(heere ki parakh sirf johari ko hi hoti hai), actually he was the first who birngs the freshness to hfm with â€œsuhani raat dhal chukiâ€..he never sailed with the trends and norms, for what he really bothered, was always the quality music..

by the way op nayyar is credited to bring the tanga rhythms into the hfm but i think naushad brings this rhythm first with â€œdil mein chupake pyar ka toofaan le chale â€ from aan(1952), pardon me if im wrong, here is the link to the song::

talat,manna, kishore,hemant,mukesh all were the gems but rafi was kohinoor, all the indigenious composers and trendsetters were using the others in early 50s, sdb-talat,hemant,manna,kishore sj-mukesh,lata roshan-talat, mukesh
madan mohan- used rafi ji for his very first movie but madan got recognition in late 50s…
by the way here is my most fav dev-rafi-madan classic::

now just look at the naushad’s genious he completely changed the mind set of every genious composer, rafi was not the dada’s fav in early 50s but after baiju baawra equations changed but surprisingly it took four more years after baiju baawra for him to become rafi loyalist, from 1946-1956 dada used rafi ji only 6 times and notable songs among them were one duet with geeta dutt & devdas solo, but after ndg rafi became his fav…roshan,madan & sj immediately moved to rafi after baiju baawra…
1949-1969 known as the most melodious period and actually naushad based the foundation of this golden era by promoting lord rafi, talat & hemant were well known already and kishore and mukesh were also had great source as a dada muni and raj, but rafi ji who was very shy continuously ignored by musical greats but at last naushad bangs with baiju baawra and proved everybody wrong
here are some magical scores by naushad having rafi from 1949-55–
1.mela(1949)
2.dillagi(1949)
3.dulari(1949)
4.deedar(1951)
5.aan(1952)
6.baiju baawra(1953)
7.amar(1954)
8.udan khatola(1955)…….

all these movies were revolutionary and changed the face of the hfm, golden era started with these movies only … now iam ending up with song from udan khatola having pivotal role on rafi ji’s career…

Dear ztas 77

I was at the 77 concert,we were right behind the stage
in the nose bleed seats but we had a better view then
half of the hall,Rafi Sahib was awesome,fantastic and the
he sang O Duniya ke rakawale” in his own version and
the notes he sang on the “galan sonne”> was unabelievable,I still get goosebumps 31 years later.
Keep up the good work

Yes, it was a live program on tv; forgot to mention that rafi saab also sang “madhuban mein radhika”. kolkata’s streets looked much less crowded while the program was being broadcast.

A great job indeed in putting the live rendition on the net. only Rafi fans can understand the value. The present generation needs to understand what a genius rafi was. please continue with this kind of work. only fans like you can keep the rafi flame alive in this world.
