So we reach the end and final song in the A-Z of Rafi songs series. I can say I have missed hundred’s of songs, which could have been part of this series. I am very much aware of the fact that some much better and rarer songs are out there which could have been posted. Their time will surely come, but it was not to be in this series.

It is time to get on with the series and to finish it. Or it will soon be the day of Rafi sahab’s Birth Anniversary, if I keep dwelling on how to start a post and what to write in it. I have written 24 posts so far in this series and running out of steam. Or ideas-after all how much small talk one can indulge in, given the by and large, one way dialogue of this series. There is no doubt about it, that I have enjoyed doing this series.

The second song in the series “Great souls of India” is from film TULSIDAS-1954. It is sung by Mohd.Rafi and this song was quite popular in those days. I have enjoyed it many times on Radio too.

The ‘W’ song is a Rafi solo from the film ‘Ghar ki Izzat'(1948). From the sound of it, it does not sound like a 40’s song at all. Rather it feels like a 50’s song. The lyricist is Ishwar Chandra Kapoor and Pandit Govindram is the music director. Though the first hit solo by Rafi sahab is said to be from the film ‘Dulaari'(1949), Suhaani raat dhal chuki, but there are by some amazingly melodious songs like Keh ke bhi na aaye tum, Bahut maayoos hokar koochha e qaatil se ham nikle, Bahut mukhtsar hai hamaari kahaani, Ab na been bajaa, Mohabbat mein khudaaya aise guzre, Ae dil neend na aayee tamaam raat from before 1949. In these songs too he is standing out as the clearest and most mellifluous voice among singers of the time. Even more so in those two songs from the film ‘Amar Raj” (1946) posted in the blog. With songs like Ye zindagi ke mele and Ik dil ke tukde hazaar huye also in 1948, which are my personal favourites, Rafi sahab had already announced his arrival, even though we were not born to hear this announcement 🙂 🙂 .

Here is the ‘U’ song in the series of A-Z of Rafi songs. I knew this song vaguely, but when looking for ‘U” song in the list, I could not recognize it. I decided to try it because it is a Rafi solo composed by Shankar-Jaikishan. I heard the whole song and picturization, I liked the energy and mischief in the composition. The lyricist is Hasrat Jaipuri.

Greetings to all dear friends and readers on the celebration of Eid-ul-Azha (Eid-ul-Adha) today (16th October, 2013).
This festival is one of the two Eid celebrations as per the Islamic calendar. Today’s celebration is the more significant and the more important of the two Eid festivals, the other one being the Eid-ul-Fitr, that is celebrated at the end of the holy month of Ramzaan (Ramadan). It is also known as Eid-al-Kabir in Arabic, that means ‘the Greater Eid’. In north India, it is also called by the name ‘Badi Eid’.
