SONU NIGAM: RAFI KI YAADEN
Career
Sonu Nigam started his singing career at the age of three, when he joined his father on stage to sing Mohammad Rafi's Kya Hua Tera Wada. He proceeded from then on to accompany his father on his singing assignments in weddings and parties. He participated in several music competitions in his teenage years and won them all until he was not allowed to participate any more! He moved to Mumbai with his father in search of his proper singing career at the mere age of 18.
His initial years in Mumbai proved to be a struggle, and Sonu started by singing covers of Mohammad Rafi songs, mainly for the Rafi Ki Yaadein album series. His first movie song as a playback singer was in the film Janum which was a major flop in (1990). This film was not officially released due to some reason but some considered it as a flop. Again he got a break as a playback singer in Gulshan Kumar's film Aaja Meri Jaan and then "Accha Sila Diya Tune" (also sung in Gujarati) from Bewafa Sanam (1996). The latter was what gave him the recognition needed as a singer. At this time, he also started hosting Sa Re Ga Ma, a television singing talent competition that became one of the most popular shows on Indian television. Thereafter, the offers poured in, albeit slowly at first. He shot to fame with the song "Sandese Aate Hai" from Border (1997). In the initial stages, he was type-cast as a Rafi-sound-alike. The image was transformed after his brilliant rendition of "Yeh Dil Deewana" in the film Pardes (1997). Since then, he has created a unique trademark style of his own.

Sonu's acting career started as a child artist in a number of films. As an adult, Sonu has acted in a few more films, namely Jaani Dushmaan alongside Sunny Deol, Manisha Koirala and Akshay Kumar as well as other actors; Kash Aap Hamare Hote where he plays the lead opposite Juhi Babbar, daughter of Raj Babbar; and lastly Love in Nepal with Flora Saini and Sweta Keswani, where he plays the lead again.

He has not taken up acting since his last venture in Love in Nepal, but has recently been said to be involved in another film as a lead actor. The film, called Ankhon Ankhon Mein is supposedly about a blind singer.

Q: How true are the rumors linking you to Sunidhi Chauhan?
A: I am sick and tired of answering such questions. Sunidhi is a colleague of mine and it is rubbish to link both of us together. All that I can tell the media is that they should exercise caution when they print such stories. As long as the media doesn't misquote me and do not drag in my family, I pay no heed to such rumors but there is a limit to one's patience.
Q: Despite the strained relationship on your personal front, your latest album is all about love and romance. Chanda Ki Doli.
A: It is for the first time I have composed a hard-core qawwali. The tone of the song is on a romantic note. The USP of the album is that the mid tempo and the orchestrisation of the songs differ. My aim as a singer is to reach the interiors by catering to the masses as well as the classes instead of making an attempt to impress only the so-called classes.
Q: Your distressed personal front is thankfully not reflecting on your work. Is it true that you will be soon doing a film with Kareena Kapoor?
A: People ask me why I am accepting films with rank newcomers instead of grabbing a film with a big established heroine as my co-star. The truth is that I was slated to work opposite Kareena Kapoor in a film called Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein to be directed by Akashdeep. It will be like a dream project for me. Akashdeep and I are waiting for the right producer to come forward to launch the film.
Q: Finally, is there another woman in your life?
A: As of now it is too early for me to say whether I will fall in love with another woman once again in my life.

Oo ho hoo oo hoo hoo
(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me
Dard Mein Dubey Geet Na De Gham Ka Sisakta Saz Na De
Or remind me of songs and verses full of grief and sorrows
Oo ho hoo oo hoo hoo
(Beete Dinon Ki Yaad Thi Jinmein Maein Woh Tarane Bhool Chuka)2
I have forgotten the old memories and those old melodies
Aaj Nai Manzil Hai Meri Kal Ke Thikaane Bhool Chuka
Today I have a new purpose and have forgotten the old destinations
Na Woh Dil Na Sanam Na Woh Deen Dharam
Neither that heart nor love or faith nor religion
Ab Door Hoon Sare Gunahon Se
Now I am far away from all my sins
(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me
Toot Chuke Sab Pyar Ke Bandhan Aaj Koi Zanjeer Nahin
All that bondages of love and binding chains are no more
Sheesha-E-Dil Mein Armaano Ki Aaj Koi Tasveer Nahin
There is no desires in this frail heart and there is no portrait
Ab Shaad Hoon Maein Aazad Hoon Maein
Now I am happy and I am independent
Kuch Kaam Nahin Hai Aahon Se
There is now use in sighs
(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me
Dard Mein Dubey Geet Na De Gham Ka Sisakta Saz Na De
Or remind me of songs and verses full of grief and sorrows
Oo ho hoo oo hoo hoo
Jeewan Badalaa, Duniyaan Badalee Man Ko Anokhaa Gyaan Milaa
It is a new life, a new world and my mind has received knowledge
Aaj Mujhe Apane Hee Dil Me, Ek Nayaa Insaan Milaa
Today I have found myself anew and I have peace of mind
Pahuchaa Hoo Wahaa, Naheen Door Jahaa
I have reached here finally
Bhagawaan Bhee Meree Nigaahon Se
I can even see the almighty
(Aaj Purani Rahon Se Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De)2
Today from that worn out paths no one should call me

http://link.songspk.info/artis.../artists.php?id=1547
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

This heart with her memories
Bahelaaye jaayenge, gaaye jaayenge

http://link.songspk.info/artis.../artists.php?id=1552
(Aapke Haseen Rukh pe Aaj Nayaa Noor Hai,
A new radiance dons your beautiful face today
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,)2
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
Aap ki Nigaah ne Kahaa toh kuchh Zaroor Hai
Your glance has certainly said something
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
(Khuli Laton ki Chhaaon mein, Khila Khila ye Roop Hai)2
Under the shade of open tresses is the budding beauty
Ghata se Jaise Chhan Rahi Subha Subha ki Dhoop Hai
As if filtering through the clouds of the morning sun
(Jidhar Nazar Mudi)3 Udhar Suroor hi Suroor hai,
Whenever that sight turned, there is only exhilatation
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
Aapke Haseen Rukh pe Aaj Nayaa Noor Hai,
A new radiance dons your beautiful face today
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
(Jhuki Jhuki Nigaah mein bhi hain Bala ki Shokhiyaan)2
In this drooping glance, there is daring restlessness
Dabi Dabi Haeeni mein bhi Tadap rahi hain Bijliyaan
Even in suppressed laughter the lightening flashes restlessly
(Shabaab Aap ka)3 Nashe mein Khud hi Choor Choor hai
Your youthfulness is in itself drenched in drinks
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
Aapke Haseen Rukh pe Aaj Nayaa Noor Hai,
A new radiance dons your beautiful face today
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
(Jahan Jahan Paday Qadam Wahaan Fiza Badal Gayi)2
Wherever the feet rested, the ambience improved
Ke Jaise Sar BaSar Bahaar Aap hi mein Dhal Gayi
As if the entire season of spring got moulded into you
(Kisi mein yeh Kashish)3 Kahaan Jo Aap mein Huzoor Hai,
Where there is magnetism in someone, Is that in you, my Lady?
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
Aapke Haseen Rukh pe Aaj Nayaa Noor Hai,
A new radiance dons your beautiful face today
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
Aap ki Nigaah ne Kahaa toh kuchh Zaroor Hai
Your glance has certainly said something
Mera Dil Machal Gaya toh Mera kya Qasoor Hai,
If my heart got excited, Am I to be blamed?
Hmmm hmmm hmmm

12) TUMHARE ZULF KE SAAYE MEIN SHAAM KAR LOONGA
http://link.songspk.info/artis.../artists.php?id=1553
(Tumhaaree zulf ke, saaye mein shaam, kar loonga,)2
Under the shade of her *tress I will pass the evening
Safar ik âumr kaa, pal mein tamaam, kar loonga
The journey of a lifetime I will complete in an instant
(Nazar milaayee toh, poochhoongaa, ishq kaa anjaam)2
If she looks at me in the eye, I will ask her about love's result
(Nazar jhukaayee toh Khaali, salaam, kar loongaa)2
If she shyingly looks down I will only greet her
Tumhaaree zulf ke, saaye mein shaam, kar loonga
Under the shade of her *tress I will pass the evening
(Jahaan-e-dil pe, hukoomat, tumhe mubaarak ho)2
Congratulations for her domain over the heart's world
(Rahee shikast, toh, voh apne naam, kar loonga,)2
In case of being defeated I will put it down to my name
(Tumhaaree zulf ke, saaye mein shaam, kar loonga,)2
Under the shade of her *tress I will pass the evening
Safar ik âumr kaa, pal mein tamaam, kar loonga
The journey of a lifetime I will complete in an instant

13) HUSN WALE TERA JAWAAB NAHIN
http://link.songspk.info/artis.../artists.php?id=1556
Husn Wale Tera Jawaab Nahin,
Oh beautiful one, matchless as your are
Koyi Tujh Sa Nahin Hazaaron Mein,
There is none like you amongs't thousands
Husn Wale Tera Jawaab Nahin,
Oh beautiful one, matchless as your are
Tu Hai Aisi Kali Jo Gulshan Mein,
You are like a flowerbud in the garden
Saath Apne Bahaar Laayi Ho,
That brings springtime to life
Tu Hai Aisi Kiran Jo Raath Dhale,
You are that light after the night has declined
Chandni Mein Naahaake Aayi Ho,
You have arrived after bathing in the moonlight
Yeh Tera Noor Yeh Tere Jalwe,
The lustre and splendour of your appearance
Jis Tarah Chand Ho Sitaaron Mein
Resembles the moon amongs't the stars
Husn Wale Tera Jawaab Nahin...
Oh beautiful one, matchless as your are
Teri Aankhon Mein Aisi Masti Hai,
Your eyes are reflecting that drunkeness
Jaise Chalke Huve Hon Paimaane,
As though the goblets are spilling over
Tere Honton pe voh Khumoshi Hai,
And your lips have sealed such a silence
Jaise Bikhre Huve Hon Afsane,
Which takes on a fairylike semblance
Teri Zulfon Ki Aise Rangath Hai,
The colour of your tresses are such
Jaise Kaali Ghata Baharon Mein
Like a small black cloud during the spring
Husn Wale Tera Jawaab Nahin
Oh beautiful one, matchless as your are
Teri Surat Jo Dekhle Shaiir,
If a poet were to observe your contenance
Apne Sheron Mein Taazagi Bhara Le,
His couplets he would rejuvenate
Ik Musaphir Jo Tujh Ko Paa Jaaye,
If a painter were to find you
Apne Khwabon Mein Zindagi Bhar Le,
His dreams would be enliven
Nagmagar Dundle Agar Tujh Ko,
And if a lyricist were to find you
Dard Bharle Voh Dil Ke Taaron Mein
He would stuff the cords of his lyrics with tenderness
Husn Wale Tera Jawaab Nahin,
Oh beautiful one, matchless as your are
Koyi Tujh Sa Nahin Hazaaron Mein,
There is none like you amongs't thousands
Husn Wale Tera Jawaab Nahin,
Oh beautiful one, matchless as your are

http://link.songspk.info/artis.../artists.php?id=1560
Ab Kya Misaal Doon Maein Tumhare Shabaab Ki
Should I liken your most esquisite beauty as
Insaan Ban Gayee Hai Kiran Mahtaab Ki
A human being formed from the beam of the moon
Chehre Mein Ghul Gaya Hai Haseen Chandni Ka Noor
Unto your countenance has melted that beautiful moonlight
Aankhon Mein Hai Chaman Ki Jawan Raat Ka Suroor
In the eyes lurks that garden's youthful exhilaration
Gardan Hai Ek Jhuki Hui Daali Gulab Ki
The neck is like an inclined stalk of roses
Ab Kya Misaal Doon Maein Tumhare Shabaab Ki
Should I liken your most esquisite beauty
Gesu Khule To Shaam Ke Dil Se Dhuan Uthe
As the tresses opened up, the heart is struck with envy
Chhule Kadam To Jhukke Na Phir Aasman Uthe
Stooping to touch the feet, the sky is unable to rise up
Sau Baar Jhilmilaye Shama Aaftab Ki
A hundred of time, shimmers the light of the sun
Ab Kya Misaal Doon
Should I liken your beauty
Deewar-O-Dar Ka Rang, Yeh Aanchal, Yeh Pairhan
The colours of this house, this mantle these robes
Ghar Ka Mere Chirag Hai Boota Sa Yeh Badan
The light of my home is this flower like body
Tasveer Ho Tumhi Jannat Ke Khwab Ki
A picture verily!! you are my Paradise
Ab Kya Misaal Doon Maein Tumhare Shabaab Ki
Should I liken your most esquisite beauty as a

15) ZINDAGI BHAR NAHIN BHOOLENGI WOH
http://link.songspk.info/artis.../artists.php?id=1564
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
I will never forget that rainy night for the rest of my life
Ek anjaan haseena se mulaaqat ki raat
The night when I met an unknown beauty.
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
I could never forget it for the rest of my life
Haaye woh reshmi zulfon se barasta paani
Oh there was water dripping for her silky hair
Phool se gaalon pe rukane ko tarasta paani
Even those droplets wanted to linger on her rosy cheeks
Dil mein toofan uthaate hue
She created quite a stir in my heart
Dil mein toofan uthaate hue jazbaat ki raat
It was that same night that she created a stir in my heart
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
I will never forget that rainy night for the rest of my life
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
I will never forget it for the rest of my life
Dar ke bijali se achaanak woh lipatana uska
She was startled by the thunder and lightning
Aur phir sharm se bhalakhaake simatanaa usakaa
And then she shyly curled up into a ball
Kabhi dekhi na suni aisi ho
I have never heard anything like this before
Kabhi dekhi na suni aisi tujismaat ki raat
I have never seen or heard anything like this before
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
I will never forget it for the rest of my life
Surkh aanchal ko dabaakar jo nichoda usne
She wrung her red shawl trying to dry it
Dil pe jalta hua ek tiir sa chhoda usne
It was as though she had sent a fiery arrow through my heart
Aag paani mein lagaate hue
She ignited a fire in the water of those storms
Aag paani mein lagaate hue halaat ki raat
It was in that same night that she started a fire in the water
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
I will never forget it for the rest of my life
Mere nagmo mein jo basati hai woh tasveer thi woh
Her image lies in all my song
Naujavani ke haseen kyaab ki tabir thi woh
She is the completion of all my youthful dreams.
Aasmaanon se utar aayi ho
She has descended from the heavens
Aasmanon se utar aayi thi jo raat ki raat
She has descended from the heavens on this night of nights
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
I will never forget that rainy night for the rest of my life
Ek anjaan haseena se mulaaqat ki raat
The night when I met an unknown beauty.
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
I could never forget it for the rest of my life

--to aid building centre for abused children in BerbiceGUYANESE are encouraged to attend the Saturday, April 28 mega-concert featuring one of Indias most popular singers, Sonu Nigam, who with his troupe of 15 persons (singers and musicians) will be performing live at the Guyana National Stadium
Stage and Sonu are words which go hand in hand. He has been singing since he was 3 and his energy and zest has only increased with every performance. Sonu has performed not only all over India but almost in every Continent. He has toured America, UK, Europe, South Africa, France, Germany, Pakistan, Dubai, Afghanistan, Africa, Singapore, Bangkok, New Zealand, Fiji Islands, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Nepal, Kenya, Mauritius, Australia and Egypt. He always performs 'Live' with his band which makes him a class apart. The grandeur of his shows is always compared to star shows as no singer has ever been given such publicity and production value. His shows stretch over 3 and half hours with 2 entries where he alone performs in each segment for over an hour. His excellent rapport with the audience and his energetic acts bowled over the audiences all over the world and the magic continues. Some of his recent memorable and successful tours include the Idea Rocks India Tour in 2006, Simply Sonu Tours in 2006 and 2007 ,The Incredibles tour of North America with Asha Bhonsle, Kunal Ganjawala and Kailash Kher in 2007 and the Rafi Resurrected Tour with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in 2008. In 2006, he was also invited to Melbourne to perform at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games along with several other eminent personalities. A huge landmark in Sonuâs career was being invited to perform at the prestigious Harvard University in November 2007 on the momentous occasion of the Installation of Dr.Drew Gilpin Faust as Harvard Universityâs 28th president. Perhaps one could say history had been made. Not just Harvard history, which it certainly was, as the first ever South Asian, or any ethnic performance for that matter, at such a Harvard ceremony. But in a wider context, it was a symbolic moment of the next phase for our music on the world stage - one that will be looked upon often for inspiration. Sonu wholeheartedly accepted the honour of the stage realizing the immense potential the combination of his celebrity and this exalted platform held, in launching Indian music into the next orbit. He took Harvard students as his accompanists - a gesture of foresight that was greatly praised by faculty and administrators, and presented Gandhijiâs favourite Bhajan âVaishnava Jana Toâ in his own style, transalating it into English as well
Breast Cancer is one of the biggest problems faced by the Women. Efforts are on from many quarters to control and eradicate this problem. Everyone who has social conscience is trying their best in spreading the awareness, regarding this to the Public.
In an effort to create and spread the awareness about the dangerous problem of Breast cancer, Sonu Nigam has scored the Music for a song in Mumbai on Friday (14-10-11). This was done with 6 female Singers.
Regarding this, Sonu interacted with the Media and said that, âthe objective of this album is to encourage women to visit the Doctors on regular basis. We have composed the song in such a manner that people are able to connect to it instantly. The six female artistes, who have sung the song, along with Nigam are Shruti Pathak, Shilpa Rao, Shefali Alvares, Neha Bhasin, Teesha Nigam and Akriti Kakkarâ.
"As long as I deliver hits and do my job with all my heart, I will get appreciation" His dream? "To be a legend like Rafisaab" quite a dream.
Sonu Nigam â all set for Guyana concert on April 28
