Lyrics :

Tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge
Haan tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge
Jab kabhi bhi sunoge geet mere
Sang sang tum bhi gungunaoge
Haan tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge
Ho tum mujhe yun
Woh baharein woh chandani raatein
Humne ki thi jo pyar ki baatein
Woh baharein woh chandani raatein
Humne ki thi jo pyar ki baatein
Un nazaron ki yaad aayegi
Jab khayalo mein mujhko laaoge
Haan tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge
Ho tum mujhe yun
Mere hathon mein tera chera tha
Jaise koi gulab hota hain
Mere hathon mein tera chera tha
Jaise koi gulab hota hain
Aur sahara liya tha baahon ka
Woh sama kis tarah bhulaoge
Haan tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge
Ho tum mujhe yun
Mujhko dekhe bina karaar na tha
Ek aisa bhi daur gujara hain
Mujhko dekhe bina karaar na tha
Ek aisa bhi daur gujara hain
Jhoot maano to pooch lo dil se
Main kahonga to rooth jaaoge
Haan tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge
Jab kabhi bhi sunoge geet mere
Sang sang tum bhi gungunaoge
Haan tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge
Ho tum mujhe yun...

Mohammed Rafi..the singing Avtar
(24 Dec.1924 –31 July 1980) was an Indian playback singer and musician. He is considered one of the greatest and most influential singers of the Indian subcontinent.Rafi was notable for his versatility and range of voice; his songs varied from fast peppy numbers to patriotic songs, sad numbers to highly romantic songs, qawwalis to ghazals and bhajans to classical songs. He was known for his ability to mould his voice to the persona and style of the actor lip-syncing the song on screen in the movie. He received six Filmfare Awards and one National Film Award. In 1967, he was honored with the Padma Shri award by the Government of India. In 2001, Rafi was honoured with the "Best Singer of the Millennium" title by Hero Honda and Stardust magazine. In 2013, Rafi was voted for the Greatest Voice in Hindi Cinema in the CNN-IBN's poll.


Rafi Bhakton – since a long long time – I cherished and nurtured the idea of writing about our dear Rafi Sahab and his amazing human form deep within my innermost feelings and after a long drawn battle with my own self – I have taken it upon myself to write in my own style about a person who once lived, sang, gave us some memorable melodious songs and just vanished even without saying bye.
If lovers of melody had been given the choice of choosing the span of life of our Rafi Sahab – then – like in the epics – Rafi Sahab – would have had to reveal his true self and that he was truly an avatar of god. His exit then would have been a well explained – planned one. None of us would have been saddened as we are today and shall be forever.
Humans who lived between 1924 and 1980 – were really blessed to share space on this earth along with this sensational singing avatar.
As it has been depicted in our epics, the people who lived at a particular period in time, never realised the importance of these avatars, as they felt them to be just plain ordinary beings with some extra qualities, slightly more than themselves and can be defeated or vanquished in an attack.
Rafi Sahab too experienced a phase like the one expressed above. Now how could he – just go about telling one and all that look – I am different. Hence he let his singing prowess or sparkle do all the talking.

Singing

Most playback singers, and film people and all connected with music were rather stunned, spellbound and dumbfounded with the goings on with Rafi and his singing. What ever he touched, turned gold and when others tried it, to their utter shock, Rafi Sahab had made some of the most difficult compositions look simple and easy. They were unable to sing even the beginning alaap.
Now with this kind of a situation created by Rafi Sahab in those days, it was nigh impossible for others to experiment or go beyond a stage – as they all had limitations – rather shockingly restrainable.

Legends

Singers in those days before during and after Rafi feature in the list of legends ( I feel ) and rightly so because there is an all important truth I wish to state that –
“only in the back drop of great singing legends that our own dear Rafi Sahab shone like a pole star.” Now, only in comparison to something or someone does the other attain super status. Left alone – it looses its charm so to say.

Swargiya Kundan Lal Sehgal, K.C.Dey, Punkaj Mullick, were names even Rafi Sahab did an adaab before uttering their names – they were guru’s for him.
