TRIBUTE TO MOHAMMED RAFI ON 28TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY.

TRIBUTE TO MOHAMMED RAFI ON 28TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY.
By Nasir (as published in www.hamaraforums.com)


It was 28 years ago that the cruel hands of Death snatched away Mohammed Rafi Sahaab from our midst, sending the entire sub-continent in immobilising shock. The passing away of Rafi Sahaab has created a permanent void in the heart of music lovers the world over. Even today, Mohammed Rafi remains unsurpassed as the World’s Most Mellifluous Singer. He will continue to remain so for the next thousand years. In the words of Ben Jonson: “He was not of an age but for all Time.”

Let all of us pledge today that we’ll always replenish our love of Rafi Sahaab; that we won’t allow Time to wither, blemish, stale and tarnish our Love for this Great Singing Legend.

Just to mention a few of my favourite songs:


Romantic:
Yeh Mera Prem Patra Padhkar.
Mere Mehboob Tujhe Meri Muhabbat ki Qasam.
Waadiyaa.n Mera Daaman...
Dard-e-Dil Dard-e-Jigar...
Hamm Aur Tum Aur Yeh Samaa..
Tu Iss Tarah Se Meri Zindagi...

Sad:
O Duniya Ke Rakhwaale....
Duur Ke Musaafir...
Barbaade Muhabbat ki Duwa Saath Liye jaa.
Din Dhal Jaaye Haay..
Toote Huwe Khawaabo.n Ne....
Dil Ne Pyaar Kiya Hai Ek Bewafa Se.


Classical:
Madhuban mein Raadhika Naache Re.
Naache Mann Mora Magan...
Duniya na Bhaaye Mohe...
Kuhoo Kuhoo Bole Koyalliya
Ajhoonaa Aaye Baalamwa..
Raadhike Tuune Bansuri Churaaee...


Devotional:
Parwardigaar-e-Aalam...
Mujhe Apni Sharan me.n le lo Ram....
Mann Ta.rpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj....
Jagat Ka Rakhwaala Bhagwaan...
Aana Hai Toh Aa Rah me.n...
Insaaf Ka Mandir hai Yeh...


Philosophical:
Man Re Tu Kaahe Dheer Na Dhare..
Baazi Kisi Ne Pyaar Ki Jeeti Ya Haar Dee...
Falsafa Pyaar Ka tum Kya Jaano....
Mat Bhool Arre Insaan...
Maghroor Na Ho Apne Muqaddar Pe O Naadaaan...
Ajab Hai Daastaan Teri Ay Zindagi...

Comedy:
Jungle me.n Mor Naachaa..
Sar Jo Tera Chakraaye...
Ay Dil Hai Mushqil...
Hamme Kaale Hain toh Kya Huwa
Mehbooba Mehbooba ...
Arre Paise Ka Khel Niraala

NASIR
Teri Khushi me.n Khush Tera banda khidmatgaar hai,
Banda hoo.n mai.n Tera Tuu mera Parwardigaar hai.
