Mohammed Rafi – Tribute on 46th Death Anniversary
jee chaahtaa hai aejee chaahtaa hai iss duniya ko o o
main hanste hanste thukraa doon
jee chaahtaa hai ae
iss duniya ko o o
hanste hanste
This beautiful composition by Jaidev, was waiting ignored all this while. This blog now has more than 3500 songs by Rafi Sahab, and still gems are discovered every day.
Over the last few months, I have visited the blog intermittently, trying to keep up with the happenings. But it is not the same without my lap-top which is out of order. Lots of data about songs not posted is stored in it, and now I am feeling lost without it. Luckily, I chanced upon this song link on youtube. I have heard it before, and it is not posted, so 90% chances of link already saved in some file with songs to be posted.
This film “Bhaavna” is from 1972 and music is composed by Jaidev. The melody of “abhi na jaao chhodkar” is ever fresh in the mind of the fans. Naqsh Lyallpuri is the poet. This is only Rafi song in this film, 2 songs are posted in the blog.
Recently I had a chat with another Rafi fan :
He:: Good morning ! I was thinking.. in a few years we will run out songs to choose from. So why not have a series like you did the A to Z series where we revisit the songs? So they need not be songs not yet appeared on the blog. So I was thinking for Rafi Saab you could have a write up of his songs being with you from your birth till you pass away and after. That will be a lovely single post with all the songs or make it a series. Just thinking aloud.. what do you think?
Me: Good morning. Huge mammoth task. ☺️
He: That only you can do 😀 How’s the idea though? 😀
Me: I think Atul ji and Sathyajit Rajurkar are better equipped, with experience for this kind of thing. They did extensive year wise series for Lata and Asha(different actors). So why not for Rafi? I am a Rafi fan, but tell me who isn’t? Point to be noted. 😎
He: We are fans. You are his AC 😀
Me: What s that?
He: Fan and air conditioning 😀 Way above a fan 😀
Me: No no.. All have same degree of awe and admiration for Rafi sahab, some realize it and express it openly like me, others are more restrained. SATYAJIT is the one degree above me. He is the one, who compiled the excel sheet of Rafi Sahabs songs.
He: You are very knowledgable and have immense love for his talent. And when you write posts about him it shows
Me: Rafi Sahab is the king among the gems of this Earth. Musically speaking. Let anyone deny it and expose their ignorance and inanity.
He: I was telling a friend the other day.. If I was isolated on an island and I could only listen to one artist.. without doubt it would be Rafi Saab
I truly feel that it is a mammoth task of doing a series of all Rafi songs, like the year wise series done by Atul ji for Lata Mangeshkar. I don’t know if he is updating the Lata songs posted in the blog after the series was done. With all that year wise data in excel sheet, it would be one more task to keep up.
Apart from the experience, another advantage Atul ji would have is the excel sheet of all songs posted in the blog that he maintains. In that sheet if the information about the year of the film is also available in a column(which I expect, it must be), sorting the yearwise data of songs posted will be available(3500+). Then in that yearwise list one can add the songs not posted yet (1000+) then Viola…..you have it. The Excel sheet of all Rafi song is available with some people in the rough form. The final /corrected list is with Satyajit Rajurkar ji, I believe.
It looks like a good idea if both Atul ji and Sathyajit ji collaborate in this project.
This idea has been put in my mind like a seed now. So it would be a great to see it grow into a tree. All 37 years from 1944 to 1980/1987. From the early period some Punjabi films songs are not yet posted. I will also help in anyway I can. I am sure Sudhir Sir can help with the Punjabi songs.
Just like, I need his help to write the lyrics of the Punjabi version, which is a little different in pace and has additional stanza. I am talking about the song from Bhawna(1972) which is todays post.
The Rafi fan, the one in the chat shared above will be like:
I asked her to do a task, and she is replying like ‘Juhi Chawla” :
Farida Jalaal: Khaana banana aata hai ?
Juhi Chawla: No. But kya banana hai uss ki list banaani aati hai.
(This is a dialogue exchange in the film “Duplicate” and Juhi Chawla played a Hotel manager – in charge of kitchens)
So here we are 3500+ song in the blog, with more than 1000 to find and cherish. Cherish we all do, just listen to this rendition, which grows on you like a well meaning friend, yet flowing as a lazy river. Since I got the lyrics of hindi version 3 days ago, I am constantly humming it. Out of the blue, during lunch today I remembered the Marathi song “haa chhand jivalaa laavi pise”(also not posted).
I will spend the day with that 46 year old memory of the fateful day .

Lyrics:
Yeh duniya wo duniya hai jahaaninsaan kee qeemat kuchh bhee naheen
majboor kee chaahat kuchh bhee naheen
mukhlis kee sharafat kuchh bhee Naheen
bas jhoothh hai aur makkaaree hai
bas jhoothh hai ae ae
bas jhoothh hai aur makkaaree hai
sachchaayee sadaaqat kuchh bhee naheen
jee chaahtaa hai iss duniya ko
jee chaahtaa hai iss duniya ko
main hanste hanste thhukraa doon
jee chaahtaa hai ae
jee chaahtaa hai iss duniya ko o o
main hanste hanste thhukraa doon
jee chaahtaa hai ae
iss duniya ko o o
hanste hanste
yeh aisa gulshan hai jis mein
kaliyon kee chitaayen jaltee hain
shabnam ke sisakte hain aansoo
bulbul kee sadaayen jaltee hain
rotaa hai pyaar bahaaron ka
rotaa hai ae
rotaa hai pyaar bahaaron ka aa
phoolon kee wafaayen jaltee hain
iss gulshan mein sab jalte hain
iss gulshan mein sab jalte hain
bachne kee soorat kuchh bhee Naheen
jee chaahta hai ae
jee chaahtaa hai iss duniya ko o o
main hanste hanste thhukraa doon
jee chaahtaa hai ae
iss duniya ko o o
hanste hanste
har dharm yehan ka paisa hai
imaan yehan ka paisa hai
insaan yehaan ka paisa hai
Bhagwaan yehan ka paisa hai
Geeta bhee yehan kee paisa hai
Geeta aa bhee ee
Geeta bhee yehaan kee paisa hai
Quran yehan ka paisaa hai
duniya kee haqeeqat paisa hai
duniya kee haqeeqat paisa hai
paise kee haqeeqat kuchh bhee naheen
jee chaahtaa hai ae
jee chaahtaa hai iss duniya ko o o
main hanste hanste thukraa doon
jee chaahtaa hai ae
