Has Mohammed Rafi saab really left us? I don’t think so. Does a day go pass by without his divine voice?
His songs are tailer made for every moment of life, whether happy, sad, fun, hard times etc.
Mohammed Rafi saab zindabaad!!!
Here at Bangalore, we, the Rafi Fan Club members are paying their tribute to this Magnum Opus in their own small way by organising a meet and staging a show at an Auditorium where the Members( a few) would sing some of his memorable tracks and also view a documentary on this great Legend called Rafi Saab!! Am privileged to have been given the oppurtunity to Anchor the show.
Let us all Rafi fans, all over the globe wherever possible, in whatever little way, commemorate this great day!!

The best of all times!!1 I don’t have words to describe his impact of each song. My yong son is a part of talant hunt and singing rafi’s songs, i fell always good for his future.
To say that you are the best playback singer of all times is an under statement!
Even after 3 decades of your mortal beings bade adieu ,you still rule a million heart!Despite of being a legend in your life time,you were most humble,down to earth,soft spoken ,god fearing & ofcourse arrogance never had touched you even!You maintained a life style which to date very few could boast of in the film industry tii date.Your ever smiling face with those eyes full of innocence says it all.
Your songs are priceless gems & as a singer you are INCOMPARABLE.
you are the souce of inspiration to me & to many others.
YOU CAN NEVER BE A THING OF THE PAST!!!!
LONG LIVE MOHD. RAFISAAB.
Long live Rafi Sahab
dear late rafi saheb,
when you passed away,i was just 9 years old,and from till date i am your fan a true fan,Allaha aap ko apni jawar-e-rehmat jaggah de,Amin…………
Rafisaab aapki yaad bahut aati hai, aankhon sa aansu bahne lagte hai.
Uparwale ne bahut zaldi aapko bula liya lekin ek ehsan humlogo pe kiya k aapke “NAYAAB” geet aaj v hamare sath hai..
“Jab Rafi Sahab ki yaad aati hai to dil mein ek dard sa uthta hai”
V always remember u
regards.

Dear Binu ji,
I know you personally and we recently met also
I salute your dedication to The Rafi Foundation and the efforts you are taking to propagate the legacy of this great soul.
I wish you all the best in your endeavours .
We must do something to treasure the treasure of countless number of songs that all of us have in our collection.
In this endeavour, I would call upon the elderly citizens who have rare songs of RAfi Saab in their collection, to share them with the new generation of Rafi lovers. This is a humble request from my side
It’s the only way we can keep Rafi Saab’s legacy going on and on
May God bless our RAfi Saab’s soul !!!!

Just a few words in tribute:
Rafi Sahab, itni oonchai par aapki aawaaz basti hai wahaan koi nahi pohonch sakta
Par aap kitni aasaani se us oonchai se ek saaz par leherte hue hazaaron ke dilon par utarte hain
Main uparwala se poochti hoon
Ai khuda – kya is dukh bhari duniya ki gehri andhere ko dekh kar
toone apni roshni is nek insaan ki aawaaz me apne haathon se daal diya
ta ke jab bhi gham mehsoos ho, hum Rafi Saahab ki andaaz ko sunkar
ek pal me pohonch jaate hai ek khushoo-e-chaman par
jahan na koi gham hai na koi nami
jahan – khushi phailaati hui sirf ek aawaaz hai – Rafi!
non other filmy personality, get honored . which get mohmad rafi ,
badan main jaise dil ka martaba hota hai wasehi rafi saab ka martba
bharatiy filmy safar main hain.
Mohammed Rafi Saheb is no more with us physically, but mentally he’s in millions of hearts. His songs are heard even today as before and will continue forever. 29 long years have passed, but, Rafi Saheb is and will be remembered all over the world. No doubt, he is the best of all, the greatest melodious singer on earth.

kahan se laaoon woh woh lazzat gayi baharon ki…
tumharay saath gayi roshni chiraghon ki,
aayen hum sab uss paak rooh ki taskeen ke liye milkar dua karen kyun ke ab hamare haathon mein sewa dua karne ke aur kuchh bhi nahi jo us shakhs ko nazar kar saken.
tere geeton mein baaqi ab talak woh soz hai lekin
woh pehle phool barsaate thay,ab daman bhigote hain
mohd.rafi…..
hum tujhe yuuun bhula na payengay
jab kabhi bhi sunengay geet tere
sang sang hum bhi gungunaengay
