Rafi Saab, is indeed the best singer of all times. Today,
42 years after his death, he lives on eternally. His songs today are just as popular as they were during his lifetime.

It took me quite some time to analyze the significance of this song from the film ‘Nawab Sahib‘ and realized that it is neither a romantic song nor a sad song. Rather it represents the mental state of transition between romance and disaster leading to sadness and depression. Rather a word or caution from Sahir. One can say Sahir could pen a poetry for any situation.

“Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho” is a beautiful song from the movie “Hanste Zakhm” released in 1973, sung by legendary singer Mohammed Rafi. The song is composed by Madan Mohan and the lyrics are penned by Kaifi Azmi. It is a heart-touching melody that talks about the beauty and power of love.
Now this is a very interesting and pleasant coincidence.
December is the month when I celebrate two birthdays – my own and that of my biggest idol – Mohd Rafi Sahab. There is a difference of exactly two weeks between our birthdays, I was born on the 10th, but I am in a celebratory mood right from the 1st of the month!
Every year, on the 31st of July, the entire world comes to a standstill to pay homage to someone who has gone down in history not just as one of the greatest singers of all time but also one of the greatest human beings to have walked on earth.
Rafi Sahab is remembered all over the world on his death anniversary on 31st July 2022. Every music director and composer between 1940s to 1970s rose to fame due to their association with Rafi Sahab.
In films we have songs that represent a certain situation in the story line. The situation can be of solitude, expressing sadness or conveying a strong message through a powerful poetry presented with a bare minimum use of musical instruments.
A handsome hero sings and woos his lady love. An
indifferent looking man sings about the lady who has besotted him. A
wooden-faced middle aged man croons about the one who has stolen his heart. And
a matinee idol belts out a romantic number.
