Mohammed Rafi – Tribute on 46th Death Anniversary

jee chaahtaa hai ae
jee 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.
