NEXT WE MOVE ON TO MOHD RAFI VOLUME 3: BEFORE DOING SO, WE WILL PRESENT SOME INTERESTING WRITE UPS AND PICTURES:

FOREVER MOHD RAFI:

The daughter of Rafisaab remembers him:

Nasreen: A complete family man, dad was a man of few words. After returning from his recordings he always spent time with all his children. Though he never showed his affection openly, he never hid his love for his grandchild Tasneem, my daughter. He celebrated her birthday on July 12 with great pomp and that same month he left for his heavenly abode.
Despite his heavy schedule, he would take time off to take us on picnics to Lonavla, Mahabaleshwar or Matheran. Those were the days filled with fun and laughter. We would all look forward to these small holidays. We had a bungalow in Lonavla with a swimming pool. On the insistence of the kids, he too would jump into the pool, clad in dhoti kurta. With them he would become a child too.
Dad was never strict with us. Even when he was angry about something, he never yelled since he was a very quiet man. But one look was enough for our knees to buckle. We never disobeyed him. It is very strange that we don’t recall him admonishing us for being naughty. He liked khamoshi and thus never liked to see children crying or left hungry. Tasneem never cried as a baby and so he was very fond of her.

FOREVER MOHD RAFI:

The daughter of Rafisaab remembers him:

Yasmin: Every time he won an award he would be thrilled. He would throw a party for his friends from the industry and our mother would cook for them all by herself. He loved the biryani and rotis that she made.
Dad was known for his fondness for mithai and Moghlai food. He loved tea but had it only at home. He enjoyed feeding everyone.

FOREVER MOHD RAFI:

The daughter of Rafisaab remembers him:

Nasreen: For some strange reason, dad saw to it that none of us were associated with the film industry. We were kept away from the limelight and never allowed to meet anyone even if they came home. He was averse to the idea of any of his children getting into the film industry which is why he sent my brothers Mohd Khalid Rafi, Mohd Hamid Rafi and Mohd Saeed Rafi and me to London for education. I was only 12 years old then while my brothers were 16, 12 and 8 respectively. Yasmin and Shahid were too young and were made to stay back. He said it was in the interest of the children that he kept them away from the family. And every time he was on a world tour with his troupe he would always stop over at London to meet all of us. Most of the time our mother accompanied him as it was her chance too to meet us. There were some very rare times when we accompanied him to his rehearsals but we never got to see him at work.

FOREVER MOHD RAFI:

The daughter of Rafisaab remembers him:

Nasreen: I liked most of his sad numbers and Yasmin prefers the happy, peppy numbers. Even today she switches on the radio in the morning to listen to dad’s songs. But the impact of his greatness hit me when I accompanied him to a Shankar-Jaikishan Nite in 1969 in Mumbai. I was pleasantly surprised to see my father in a very different mood. He was so chulbula on stage, he whistled to the song Thoda ruk jaayegi to and Badan pe sitare lapete hue. It was a breathtaking experience for me to see the love and adulation that my father was showered upon. I felt very proud that day that I was his daughter.
Of his hobbies, he loved flying kites and we kids enjoyed holding the manjha for him. He was very good at the game and whenever he found time, he would take us to the terrace of our house. When there was a black kite flying in the sky, everyone in the vicinity knew that Rafi saab was flying kites on his terrace. Strangely he wanted only black kites.

The daughter of Rafisaab remembers him:

Yasmin: Since we were never exposed to the industry, nobody knows the family much today. Shahid was very young when dad left us and when he was around 17-18 years, his friends encouraged him to take up singing and he did one film Socha Na Tha wherein he sang as well as acted. But since dad never approved of it, our mother was not keen that Shahid take up a singing career and she discouraged him. Hence he did not follow a career in films.

FOREVER MOHD RAFI:

The daughter of Rafisaab remembers him:

Nasreen: My older siblings settled in London after their education and worked for some airlines company till they passed away some time back. Their families are now based in London. Our eldest sister Parveen lives with her doctor-husband in London. Shahid, Yasmin and I have settled in Mumbai.
I was 29 when dad passed away. That fateful day, some producers from Kolkata were in Mumbai to meet him to record for a Durga Pooja album in Bengali. Though he was not keeping too well, dad went ahead with the recording stating that the people had come all the way from Kolkata for his services. He decided to oblige them. No one was aware that he was in pain during the rehearsals. Later when he returned home, he was in a lot of pain and was sweating profusely. It was the month of Ramzan and he was fasting. He was sitting on the sofa when my mother noticed that his nails had turned blue and called the doctor who decided to shift him to hospital. He called us to his side and kissed us on our foreheads and said, “Mere liye dua karna.” Though in severe pain, dad walked down the stairs to his car. Just as the car started, he looked up and waved to us. He had suffered a very major heart attack and the end came soon after that.
When his funeral procession was on its way, all the roads of Bandra were blocked. The entire film industry had come to pay their last respects to a great singer. Only his favourite Shammi Kapoor could not make it as he was out of town. While last respects were being paid at the Mahim dargah, Raj Kapoor had priests performing a pooja outside the dargah for my dad.

Music to human ears is heavenly and if it is purely devotional in the melodies voice of Mohammed Rafi it is truly divine. Nothing can be more deeply rooted in the Indian tradition than Bhajans or Devotional songs which are simple songs in soulful language expressing the many-splendored emotions of Love for GOD. In the above devotional songs, Rafi Saheb made a complete self-surrender to GOD through his singing and even though the songs mentioned being decadent, some of the songs can be heard again and again for indefinitely.

31) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

http://www.mastimag.com/download.php?song_id=27851

O nanhe se farishte, tujh se ye kaisaa naataa
O little angel, what relationship is this I have with you
kaise ye dil ke rishte, o nanhe se farishte
What heart's connection is this, o little angel
(Happy birthday to you)3

(tujhe dekhane ko tarase, kyon har ghari nigaahen)2
Why do my eyes thirst to see you every minute?
bechain si rahati hain, tere liye ye baahen
Why do my arms ache to hold you?
mujhe khud pataa nahin hai, mujhe tujhse pyaar kyuun hai,
I have no idea why I love you so much

o nanhe se farishte, tujh se ye kaisaa naataa
O little angel, what relationship is this I have with you
kaise ye dil ke rishte, o nanhe se farishte
What heart's connection is this, o little angel
(Happy birthday to you)3

(naazuk saa phuul hai tuu, kisi aur ke chaman kaa)2
You're like a delicate flower but of someone else's garden
khushabuu se teri mahake, kyon baag mere man kaa
Why is my heart's garden scented with your fragrance?
meri zindagi mein chhaaii, tujhase bahaar kyuun hai,
Why does my life bloom (like spring) with your presence?

o nanhe se farishte, tujh se ye kaisaa naataa
O little angel, what relationship is this I have with you
kaise ye dil ke rishte, o nanhe se farishte
What heart's connection is this, o little angel
(Happy birthday to you)3

tuu kuchh nahin hai meraa, phir bhi ye tarap kaisi
You're not mine so why do I feel this torment?
tujhe dekhate hi khuun mein, uthatii hai qu lahar si
My blood rises on a wave of ecstasy everytime I see you
har wakt mujhako rahataa, teraa intazaar kyuun hai,
Why do I wait anxiously to see you every moment?

o nanhe se farishte, tujh se ye kaisaa naataa
O little angel, what relationship is this I have with you
kaise ye dil ke rishte, o nanhe se farishte
What heart's connection is this, o little angel
(happy birthday to you)3

http://www.mastimag.com/download.php?song_id=24650

aaaaaa oooooooo

(Aane se usake aaye bahaar, jaane se usake jaaye bahaar)
(When she comes, comes springtime, when she leaves, springtime leaves
Barii mastaanii hai merii mahabuubaa
(She is so mischievous, is my beloved
Merii zindagaanii hai merii mahabuubaa)2
(She is my life, is my beloved

Gunagunaae aise jaise bajate hoon ghungharuu kahin pe
(She hums and it seems somewhere bells tinkle
Aake parvaton se, jaise girataa ho jharanaa zamin pe
(or a brook descends from moutains and creates a waterfall
Jharano kii mauj hai wo, maujon ki ravaanii hai merii mahabuubaa
(she is a wave in a stream, she is the grace of a wave, is my beloved

Merii zindagaanii hai merii mahabuubaa

Is ghataa ko main to usakii aankhon kaa kaajal kahuungaa
(This black rain cloud, I will call it the kajal in her eyes
Is havaa ko main to usakaa laharaataa aanchal kahuungaa
(This breeze, I will call it her fluttering scarf (dupatta)
Huuron kii malikaa hai pariyon kii raanii hai merii mahabuubaa
(She is the queen of hooris, she is the ruler of fairies, is my beloved

Biit jaate hain din, kat jaatii hai aankhon mein raaten
(The days pass, the nights slip away sleepless
Ham naa jaane kyaa kyaa karate rahate hain aapas mein baatein
(we know not what we tenderly keep talking about, she and I
Main thoraa diivaanaa, thorii sii diivaanii hai merii mahabuubaa
(I am a little obsessively mad, she is a little mad too, is my beloved

Ban sanvar ke nikale aae saavan kaa jab jab mahiinaa
(She adorns with care and goes forth whenever comes month of Rains
Har koii ye samajhe hogii vo koii chanchal hasiinaa
(Everyone believes her to be a mischievous beauty
Puuchho to kaun hai vo, rut ye suhaanii hai, merii mahabuubaa
(If you ask who she is, it's the pleasant season, is my beloved

http://newmp3mad.com/128-20128...ari%20Surat%20Ko.mp3

Teri pyaari pyaari surat ko kissi nazar na lage chashme-baddur

May all malicious glances vanised and may God preserve from evil eyes

Mukhde ko chhupa lo aanchal mein kahin meri nazar na lage chashme-baddur

Hide your face even to avoid my glance, may God preserve you from evil eyes

Yoon na akele phira karo sab ki nazar se daraa karo

Dont wander alone just be afraid of the evil eyes of others
Phool se jyada nazuk ho tum jaal sambhal kar chala karo

You are even more delicate than a flower, beware of traps

Zulfon ko gira lo gaalo par mausam ki nazar na lage chashme-baddur

Hairs spreaded  on your cheeks, and may God  save you from evil eyes

Teri pyaari pyaari surat ko kissi nazar na lage chashme-baddur

May all malicious glances vanised and may God preserve from evil eyes


Ek jhalak jo paata hai raahi wahin ruk jaata hai

Be aware of travellers getting a glimpse of you
Dekh ke tera roop salona chaand bhi sir ko chhupaata hai

Seeing your beautiful moonlike face,  impressions do lasts

Dekha na karo tum aaina kahin uss ki nazar na lage chashme-baddur

Dont look into mirrors, glance may get you, may God preserve you from evil eyes

Teri pyaari pyaari surat ko kissi nazar na lage chashme-baddur

May all malicious glances vanised and may God preserve from evil eyes

Mukhde ko chhupa lo aanchal mein kahin meri nazar na lage chashme-baddur

Hide your face even to avoid my glance, may God preserve you from evil eyes

http://newmp3mad.com/128-14827...%20Janam%20Lenge.mp3

Sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

Will born a hundred times and will die a hundred times
Aye jaan-e-wafa phir bhi hum tum na juda honge

Oh my darling, we will never get separated from each other

Sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

Will born a hundred times and will die a hundred times

Kismat hume milne se rokegi bhala kab tak

How long will destiny keep us away from each other
Inn pyaar ki raahon mein bhatkegi wafa kab tak

When will faith wander fanatically in the paths of love
Kadmon ke nishaan khud hi manzil ka pataa honge

The footprints will themselves be the address of the destination

Sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

Will born a hundred times and will die a hundred times

Yeh kaisi udaasi hai jo husn pe chhayi hai

This despondency has been dispersed all over beauty 
Hum door nahin tum se kehne ko judaai hai

I am not away from you at all as this separation is just for name
Armaan bhare do dil phir ek jagah honge

Our two hearts filled with desires will be at one place again

Sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

Will born a hundred times and will die a hundred times

Aye jaan-e-wafa phir bhi hum tum na juda honge

Oh my darling, we will never get separated from each other

Sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

Will born a hundred times and will die a hundred times
