Rafi Saab, never seen not smiling. A truly divine soul! From where did he borrow the tears for these amazing songs?! The good humans may be having a better sense of the human sorrow, it would seem!

I’d to spend more time deciding about Mohammed Rafi songs compared to Kishore Kumar’s. Why so? Two reasons. Firstly, This blogger is no expert of Rafi’s legacy; having listened to KK more keenly makes it only easier for him to speak about Kishore Kumar songs. The same could not be spoken about Rafi, however. Secondly and more significantly, Rafi’s era belonged to a better poetry. I realize this more, the more I listen to his songs from the 50s and 60s in the present era. It demands more time classifying the Mohammed Rafi songs for their ‘Shayrana’ moods. While better recording techniques and the composers of RD Burman’s stature had a say in defining Kishore Kumar’s playback – who was a highly passionate singer anyway – he still did not have the Rafi-era poetry to aid him. The Hindi cinema was going through a transitional period with the new cine techniques like Eastman color, cinema scope and the slow motion cinematography ruling the roost in the 70s, as opposed to the good scripting and song writing, which dominated the Rafi-epoch.

The scenario only worsened after Kishore Kumar’s demise, with the Hindi music slumping into a lasting morass of all-things untalented. A better poetry and scripting might be about to make a new start, however, at a time the Hindi-movie makers had more resources and far better techniques to rely on.

Listen to the various sentimental moods of Mohammed Rafi now. All Mohammed Rafi songs are through the courtesy of Saregama.com and a few other music outlets.

    I agree, the lyrics and melody in those years was better. And one appreciates Rafi more now listening to him.

    Mohd Rafi made a total changeover when he started singing for Shammi Kapoor. Though that in itself was a novelty, I think the seriousness with which he was considered dropped a few notches; however, no one could take away from that fantastic voice.

    In this list itself, there are some super haunting numbers!

    - Din Dhal Jaaye Haaye
    - Kabhi Khud Pe Kabhi Halat
    - Ham Bekhudi Mein Tum Ko
    - Maine Chand Aur Sitaron Ki
    - Raat Bhar Ka Hai Mehmaan
    - Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki (my all time favorite!)
    Well there are so many; I just picked a few. Real dil-tod songs!
    Good collection!

    This reminds me of another superb performanceof Rafi in the film “Sehra”. “Taqdir ka fasana, jaker kisko sunayen, is dil mein jal rahe hain, armano ki chitayen.”

    More sad no’s of Rafi -
    Akela hoon main, is duniya main – Jaal,
    Aaj ki raat mere – Ram aur Shyam,
    Keh do koi na karen yahan pyar – Gunj uthi Shenai,
    Dekhi zamane ki yarri bichade sabhi barri barri – Kagaz ke phool.

    more sad no’s of rafi,but i say one thing…

    - ye duniya

    Rafi sahab jaisa na tha na hai na hoga. ankhe band kar ke unke dard bhare
    nagme sun kar haath khud ba khud ibadat ke liye uth jate hain aur dil ko bada
    sukun milta hai. Kash wo aaj bhi hamare beech hotey.
