But I am sure it was Rafi Sahaab with his great range of voice who must have compelled Naushad to harness his great talent. Dont forget that in Naushads own home production of 1950, Babul, it was Talat Mehmood all the way singing for Dilip Kumar. There, Rafi's voice used as a background for NADI KINARE.. But in Naushad's later home production, Uran Khatola (1954), only Rafi sang all the male lead songs, with the evergreen: O door ke musafir. And yes, in his another own production Palki, only Rafi could sing for Rajendra kumar, except for the title background song that was rendered by Manna Dey. I personally feel, it was Rafi Sahaab who amply paid back Naushad Sahaab for the intial trust the latter had reposed in him. Yes, the duo of Naushad-Rafi was formidable.
