“Apne Naghmon Ke Sahare Zindagi Bichha Gaya,
Apni Taanon Se Jahan Walon Ke Dil Bharma Gaya,
Jab Tak Is Duniya Ki Mehfil Mein Tu Raha Ae Rafi,
Zindagi Ke Saaz Par Tu Kitne Geet Ga Gaya”

Needless to say that Rafi Sahab has been one voice that has touched everybody with
a) Love (Janam Janam Ka Saath Hai Nibhane Ko)
b) Masti (O Dilber Janiye Tere Hain Hum Tere)
c) Nostalgia (Dil Ka Soona Saaz Tarana Dhoodenga)
d) Devotion (O Duniya Ke Rakhwale)
e) Appreciation (Yeh Reshmi Zulfen Yeh Sharbati Aankhen)

There can be innumerable adjectives added to the voice, singing and personality of the great legendary singer Mohd Rafi Sahab. Since the bhakts of Rafi Sahab are not able to find enough adjectives, they organize programmes in his memory all across the world to spread the khushboo of his versatile qualities.

Rafi Foundation Delhi chapter had organized a programme last year also to launch the biography on Rafi Sahab written by one of our members, Shri Vinod Viplav.

In the same manner, Rafi Foundation Memorial Society (Delhi Chapter of Rafi Foundation) will be organizing the programme YAAD NA JAYE, The Rafi Magic on 30th July’08 at Rajendra Bhawan, DDU Marg, New Delhi on the occasion of 28th death anniversary of Rafi Sahab.

This year Mohd. Rafi Award for Excellence has been initiated by the society which will be awarded each year to a person who has been doing excellent work in spreading social awareness in any field like environment, health, music, art, etc.
Dr. K.K.Agarwal of Heart Care Foundation of India will be given the award for the year 2008.
Shri Anil Kumar Chaudhary, President, Delhi Pradesh Yuva Congress will the Chief Guest of the evening.

Also, each year our programme will carry a social message on all its invitation cards, banners, backdrop, etc. The message for the year 2008 is “Agar Bachani Hai Yuva Pidi, Toh Bandh Karo Yeh Cigarette Bidi”.

All Rafi Fans are invited at the venue to enjoy the programme and cheer up the society.

It’s a Dream Come True for me.

LONG LIVE RAFI SAHAB !
