I am not sure what do I call this soul..... A god's gift to us, a human being's tribute to god or he himself is a GOD...... !!!Exactly 29 years back on this day, this soul of Hindi film music left it's body and flew towards the world where there are no footprints.....
So many people imitated him and made name, fame, imitations, irritations, all sorts.......
But no one could even come nearer to him and no one can become like him.....
That's Mohammed Rafi.......
When he died, Doordarshan covered his last journey live... In the background, the which was being played was
क्यूँ संवारी है यह चन्दन की चिता मेरे लिए
में कोई जिस्म नहीं हूँ के जलाओ गे मुझे
राख हो जावुंगा बिखर जावूँगा में दुनिया में
तुम जहां खावोगे टोकर वही पावोगे मुझे........
मेरी आवाज़ सुनो प्यार का राग सुनो
What else do I say about this great soul... There will be no one like Rafi.. All those who are imitating Rafi and imitated Rafi, let them keep trying...
Ramesh...I have no words!
ReplyDeleteStrange that I have been madly in love with 2 of his songs since the last few days.
1. Zindagi bhar nahi bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
2. Aaj ki raat mere dil ki salaami lele
His songs have the freshness and innocence, that inspire us to live & love :), his voice will live forever!
love...
koshy.
That's right Koshy....
ReplyDeleteZindagi bhar.... song has been picturized on a wooden face called Bharat Bhushan and Aaj ki raat mere... is picturized on another wooden face called Rajendra Kumar. Both of them became hits only because of Rafi and nothing else... Rajendra Kumar was known as Jubilee Kumar as all his movies were jubilee hits only because they had Rafi's songs......
Correction..Aaj ki raat mere dil ki Salaami.. was picturised on Dilip Kumar and not Rajendra kumar
