“Abhi Naa Jaao Chhod Kar, Ke Dil Abhi Bharaa Nahin”.

The manner of expression, the selective emphasis, the slow measured pace of eloquence, the first rendering of this line – and the soft melody simply steals your heart away. And the mind wants to beseech the departed souls, to kindly tarry, and stay for a bit more, for the heart is not satiated as yet. Words from the pen of Sahir Sb, the touching expression in Rafi Sb’s voice, and one can imagine the balding, somewhat simple and frail, bespectacled Jaidev, conducting the instrumentalists, as the song progresses.

To continue with Rafi’s songs, here is a Fun song from film GUL-E-BAKAVALI-1963. It is shot on 3 comedians, Maruti, Sunder and Kumud Tripathi.

The fruits convert them to Girls. Demons appear and order them to dance and sing…

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog. This is the 2000th song of Rafi discussed in the blog.

Truly, a man for all seasons, and a voice for all reasons. A person like him comes maybe once in a millennia. And a voice like his is probably a unique manifestation of God’s own will, maybe once in the sustenance of an entire creation. It seems as if the poet Iqbaal wrote his famous couplet for him, and him alone.

Today (31 july 2013) is the 33rd death anniversary of Rafi(24 december 1924- 31 july 1980). Today is the day when we pay our heartfelt tribute to him. It is not that we do not remember him on the other days of the year except his anniversaries. Far from it. We in this blog have averaged more that one Rafi song a day for the five years and more that this blog has been in existence. In other words, we remember him everyday. He is in our thoughts everyday in almost every waking hours and sometimes in our sleeping hours as well in our dreams.
