The song beginning with ‘K’ is from the film ‘jauhri’ (1951). This Rafi sahab Solo is adding a dimension to this series. Two songs from the film Ae muhabbat tere jahaan mein gham ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin and Aa mile kal bichhad gaye are already posted. Both were solos by Geeta Dutt, picturized on Geeta Bali. This Rafi solo is performed on screen by ‘Amarnath’ (As per the excel sheet). Tajnath Zaar is the lyricist and music is by Pandit Harbanslal.

We reach the alphabet ‘J’ in the series. I had actually finalised a duet song for this alphabet. The lyrics were all ready, but than I just thought to check what are the options for the rest of the alphabets. I made a list of appealing and interesting songs for them. But it occurred to me that none of those songs I had shortlisted were Shammi Kapoor songs. Now this would be unthinkable, no song of Shammi Kapoor vintage in the series will render it incomplete.

Recently I have requested Sudhir Sir to find a rare Rafi song for me. It is a song which actually brought me to to this blog. It is a non-film song which nobody seems to know anything about. Three years ago I was desperately searching for the full lyrics of this prayer poem ‘Khud jiyo auron ko bhi jeene do’. I searched extensively on the net but could not find the full lyrics. I had no inkling at that time that Rafi sahab had sung this song. But some site (I do not remember which one) had this information that this prayer/poem was by Rafi sahab and it was picturized in a film by Films Division of India, where none other than Prithvi Raj Kapoor is singing it in front of a classroom. There after I searched for it high and dry,but the result was always zilch. Now I have no way of verifying if the information about the song is strictly correct or not. But it was a start and unfortunately also the end of it. All this time this thing has always been in the back of my mind, which comes to fore from time to time. Like it did the other day when I made that request to Sudhir Sir.
