100th Birth Anniversary – Centenary year celebration

Yes, it is someone’s birthday today. Is this the day when one grows as old as one 100 years. Or the time has come to give the 100% of praise, 100% of prayers and 100% of love to the legendary singer, one and only Mohammed Rafi Sahab.

What does every Indian around the world, who revels in calling himself or herself Indian, sing on such occasions?

78th Independence day – 15th August, 2024

The nation grows older by one more year on 15th August. And hopefully wiser too. Among the nations formed in 20th century, post world wars scenario, we have indeed come a long way, and hopefully shall grow, by leaps and bounds.

The cultural conflux and amalgamation, is what makes this country what it is, that the world looks up to us for the colourful heritiage, for the values of humanity, for intellectual and literary wealth.

Commemorating 100 years of Rafi – 44th Death anniversary on 31st July, 2024.

basti basti parbat parbat
gaata jaaye banjaaraa aa
le kar dil ka ek taaraa aa

There are iconic songs in the Hindi film songs, and then there is this song (film ‘Railway Platform’ – 1955). Really. For my generation of Hindi film music fans, this is the iconic one. Like one comment in the blog post says “Vividh Bharati song, Is geet ko koi bhi sachcha listner kaise bhool sakta hai….ek ek shabd, ek ek piece sangeet ka, dil, aur dimaag ke andar record kiya hua hai. Mujhe yaad hai aise bahut log hain JINHONE apni zindagi men PEHLA Hindi geet YE GEET suna, aur Hindi geeton ke deewaane ho gaye. AAJ TAK WOH DEEWANE HAIN.”

Dua’a (A prayer)
——————————–

O Allah, we seek refuge in Allah from a knowledge that does not benefit
And from a heart that is not humble
And a soul that is satisfied
And from a dua’ that is not heard
O The Most Generous.
O Allah we ask you for beneficial knowledge
And good provision and deeds that are accepted
O The Most Merciful.
O Allah, make the best of our lives towards the end of it,
And the best deeds of our deeds the last ones,
And the best of our days the day we meet You,
While You are satisfied with us
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah we ask you for a pure life
And a good end,
And a return that is neither shameful nor disgraceful
O The Most Generous
Our Lord do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred,
Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us,
Our Lord and do not burden us with which we have no ability to bear,
And Pardon us
And pardon us
And forgive us and have mercy upon us,
You are our Protector
So give us victory over the disbelieving people
Our Lord, indeed we have believed
So forgive our sins
So forgive our sins, and protect us from the punishment of the fire,
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah make us of the patient ones
O Allah make us of the truthful ones
O Allah make us of the obedient ones
O Allah make us of those who spend(for the sake of Allah)
O Allah make us of those who seek forgiveness
Forgive all of our sins
Forgive all of our sins
The small and the big
The first and the last ones
Secret ones and the ones done publicly
Forgive what we have put forth and what we have sent behind
What we did in secret and what we did in public
And what You know better than us
You are the Expediter and the Delayer
There is no God but You
Our Lord, we ask you for faith that does not turn back
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends

And the company of our beloved Muhammad(pbuh)
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
O the Lord of the worlds
Our Lord,
And our Creator
And our Provider
Indeed every night You free people from the hell fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
O Lord of the worlds
O the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful,
O the Most Generous, The Beneficent Bestower of bounties
O The Most Kind, The Most Loving,
O The Most Compassionate, Merciful of the world
O You, whose mercy encompasses everything,
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And all our Muslim men and Muslim women
And the believing men and believing women
(free them) By Your Mercy,
O The Most Merciful
Our Lord
Our Lord
And our creator
Your sevants besides us are many!
And we have no Lord but You to Whom we can invoke
And we stand between Your hands
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hypocrisy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hatred
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from envy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from pride
O Allah, do not leave us to ourselves even for the blink of an eye
Or even less than that
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
By your mercy, we seek help
Set right for us all our affairs
And do not abandon us to ourselves for the blinking of an eye(ie a moment)

Mohammed Rafi – 99th Birth Anniversary and Centenary celebration.

So here comes the birth anniversary of Rafi Sahab. This marks the end of 99th year since Rafi Sahab was sent to this world as a ‘farishta’ some like to believe. Farishta-sifat person most Rafi fans agree to it. As if we have seen a Farishta ever, even if the creation was ever visible to human eye.

The life lived in this finite world with infinite possibilities is nothing if not the memories collected in the heart and mind. The audio-visual medium, overdose or not, is the ultimate. Some of those lasting memorable visuals are of the silver screen and black & white television screen. I may forget some of the names of those characters and actors, but the emotions conveyed and invoked in those scenes stay with me and have survived the test of time.

I have had the link and lyrics of this song saved in my files for some months now.  The month of July 2023 was a month of heavy rains and floods in many parts of India.  We had incessant rains in Mumbai also, where it was raining day and night, with a few breathers in between.

Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 13

15th August, 2023 – Independence Day

“2023 15 August

As we know, India is going to celebrate 77th Independence Day on 15th August 2023 and this day marks the memory of the end of 200 Year British Rule. On this day, all the religious leaders, political leaders, prominent personalities and Students deliver Independence Day Speech 2023 and pay tribute to freedom fighters.”

This is the result Google showed on searching 15th August, 2023. Fair enough. I thought it to be this way and the sitting diety of the World Wide Web is also correct and succinct. This diety has almost run its course and is in the final leg of its life circle “as a diety”. We have relied on it long enough and it served us best as it could.

So we commemorate India’s 77th Independence Day and pay tribute to freedom fighters, with this song from the film “Minister” (1959). As the title suggests, the movie must have been on politicians.

Tribute to Mohammad Rafi on 43rd death anniversary

We come to that day again, when the death anniversary of Rafi Sahab becomes the subject of talk, discussion, posts in the blog, awe-inspiring for learners and a deep-thinking day for die-hard fans like me.  As I grow older, the word ‘fan’ in this context sounds basic and amateur. Not that it is anything great for me to be a ‘fan’ per se, because I am but a speck on this mortal earth, whereas Rafi Sahab’s voice and songs have attained immortality.
