Years back when I was in saudi arabia, i was watching film “laat saab”
with an egyptian.there is a song of rafi saab “jaane mera dil kise doond
rahahe in haree bari wadiyom me”.after finishing the song, the egyptian
was wondering about the sound of the singer.I told him the singer is
mohammed rafi saab who have millions of fans across the world. people worshipping him like the late egyptian singer “ummul kulthum”

dear murthyji, thanks a lot for a wonderful article.when we were in college, shammi kapoor was at his peak and ofcourse,as he himself has acknowledged, who put him there - none other than our Rafi Saab. What a combination they made- Shammi, Rafi,Shankar Jaikishan, Hasrat Jaipuri,Sailender.That time was a golden age and it will never come again and we have to contend ourselves with the memories.Shammi and Rafi wer body and soul.Like you,we all feel the absence of Rafi Saab even though we have everything in life for a good life.During his life,he had become a part of us and with his departure,a part of all of us died.what a wonderful human being he was.I agree with the other fans on all the songs mentioned.One of my favourite is - Saverevali gaadi se chale jaaenge —- aur Rafi Saab hum subko chodkar chale gaye.

One more news…..
The current wizard of music A.R.Rahman is a big fan of Shammi n Rafi sahab… It seems he has credited Shammi-Rafi sahab and the great MDs like SJ and OPN who were resposible the dynamic change of music in the 60s making it a Swinging style….

Superb article Murtyji. really great article of shammi kapoor. There is a song of rafi-shammi kapoor combo, the song is “Dil ke Zaroke mein tujko” from the film brahmachari, the real thing in this film is the piano played by none other than Shankar from Shankar-Jaikishan. Rafisahab sang so well for shammi kapoor that no other singer can sing.

Dear A. S. Murty ji,
Nice article! When I first listened this song “Jaane waale zera hoshiyar”, I did not know that it is picturised on Shammi Kapoor. Still I admired that song, but when I watched the movie and looked Shammi is acting on this song, I just love it.
All the songs of film “Raajkumar” are very nice including “Is rang bedelti dunya mein”, “Dilruba dil pe tu”, “Tum ne pukara aur hum chale aaye” and the great song “Tum ne kisi ki jaan ko”.
Well I did not have the song “Tum ne pukara aur hum chale aaye” from this film. I like this song very much. “Ek baar suna hai, dobara sunne ki temenna hai”. Can anyone mail it to me? I will be very grateful. My e-mail address is:

Janab AS Murthy Sahab, Adab Araz Hai,
” I have often felt deeply—— and we are proud of the same.”
Very powerful and heart touching statement Murthy Sahab. In 1979, when I migrated to USA, at that time, I had only two audio cassettes of rafi Sahab. And now—–
Sahir Sahab ke yeh chand sher, Awaz ke Badshah Rafi Sahab ko nazar karta hun.
“Mujhko iska ranj nahi hai log mujhe fankar na mane
fikr wo sukhan ke tajer mere sheron ko ashaar na mane
mera fan meri umeeden aaj se tum ko arpan hain
Aaj se mere geeth tumhare dukh aur sukh ka darpan hain”
Murthy Sahab, Keep up the good work.
With regards to all Rafi lovers,
Dr. Khaja Aliuddin,

Nice write-up murtyji. Most of the songs sung by Rafi Saheb for Shammi Kapoor ji weere/are super duper hits. Even to this day, these songs are remembered to one and all. In fact, Rafi Saheb was/is the real hero.

Dearest Murty Ji,

Wah! You have drawn a perfect sketch of our hearts. His evergreen voice and outstanding music of Shanker Jaikishan in film “Rajkumar became a superb. 2nd Film Prince song Muqabla hum say na karo the appearance between female’s voice “Rafi Ji ney kamal Kia” he sung on high pitch and no one can draw the melodious voice like Rafi Sahib and 2nd song is Nazar mein bejli ada mein sholey and 2nd Antra is “Zera palatkey Idhr to Dekho” 3rd song is “Badan pay Sitarey lapaty huaee ooh Janey Tamana kidhar Jareh hu” and a beautifull song with great music in the same picture is “Dhandi Dhandi Huwa Mein Dil Lehrain Hai Jawani Dewani”. There are so many gems which are endless. Murty Ji you are a perfect “ASHIQ” of Rafi Sahib even all participants who are sharing their valued comments. Murty Ji please keep it up this wounderful job. “Terey nain nashay dey pialay Inhay piangey naseebo waley”. Thanking you Ghulam Mujtaba / Lahore Chapter
