24 December - Rafi sahab ka yaum-e-paida'ish
Rafi sahab ke baare mein kitna kuch likha ja chuka hai! Lekin phir bhi ye pyaas hai ke bujhti hi nahin. Dil chahta hai ke Rafi sahab ke baare main likhte rahiye, padhte rahiye. Ji chahta hai ke un ki madh-bhari, haseen, meethee, madhosh kar dene wali awaz sunte rahiye ... aur bas sunte rahiye. Ye wo awaz hai ke shayad ise sun ke kaliyaan bhi muskurati hon gee, sharmati hon gee. Is awaz ko sunke shayad sooraj ki kirnain jagmagati hon gee, ithlati hon gee. Ye hi baat Rafi sahab ne khud apne hi aik geet mein kis khoobi se kahi hai:
Hansti zameen, gaate qadam, chalte nazaare, chalte jo ham
Rukte ham to ruk-ruk jaata, Dhalta suuraj dhalte dhalte
Dil ki tamanaa ...
Yesudas sahab ne kitni achi baat ki hai ke mauseeqi ke mauzoo pe bohat saari kitaabain padh ke bhi koi itna nahin seekh sakta jitna ke Rafi sahab ko sun ke aur un ki gayiki ko samajh ke. Main un ki is baat se sau-fi-sad ittifaaq karta hun.
Kabhi kabhi yaqeen nahin aata ke dilon ko chhoo lene wali ye awaz sunaane waale Rafi sahab ab hamare beech nahin rahe! Ye soch kar dil bojhal ho jaata hai lekin phir dharas bandhtee hai ke un ki awaz hamaare saath ab bhi hai aur yehi bohat ghaneemat hai.
Rafi sahab ki saalgirah ke mauqe pe do geet aap sab ki khidmat mein paish karta hun. Aap sab se darkhuast hai ke waqt nikaal ke zurur suniye!
Aakhir mein Rafi sahab ke chand geet zahan mein goonj rahe hain:
Jab bhii ye dil udaas hotaa hai
Jaane kaun aas paas hotaa hai
Ye zindagee ke mele, ye zindagee ke mele
Duniya mein kam na hon ge, afsos hum na hon ge
aur ...
Tum mujhe yun bhula na paaoge
Jab kabhii bhi sunoge geet mere
Sang sang tum bhii gungunaoge

Azam,
"Toote Hue Khaabon Ne" sunke meri aankhen bhar ayee. Bahut hi khubsoorti se aapne gaya. You have captured the total feel and emotion in your rendition. Very well done.
Rafi sahab is immortal and has touched our hearts
with beautiful songs. It is very humble of you to remember him by paying a tribute on his 83rd Birthday. God Bless You & Long Live Rafi Sahab.
Best Wishes,
Dinesh
Azam,
This wonderful presentation of the song "Ye raat hai pyaasi" by you leaves the listener "spellbound". Beautifully sung! A true tribute to Rafi Sahab. All the best. - Mala
Chotha Khan Bolta Hai:
Yaar Is sham-e-mehfil par toote hue khaabon ne, is tarah rulaya hai ki bas mati batao to acha.
I suggest one more higher scale on this one, since you have the throw, I think it could have used one higher scale.
Beautiful rendition, though, something I liked really.
Bahut Pyaar
Chota Khan
Chota Khan Phir Se Bolta Hai:
Yeh Second gana ka music jo hai, woh thoda off honey ka. Boley to awaaz ne phir bhi taal ko lagam de dali, lekin music ka masla permanent honey ka.
Again beautifully finished the song.
Chota Khan ;)
shukriya dost
mazedaaar hai
Khan Saab.
You have done total justice to the maestro.
Your voice really suites Rafi saab's songs - while you have your unique style & voice.
Toote hue hwabon ney.. is one of my Naushad favorite.

Hi Azamji,
Listened to both songs and enjoyed them. Great way to pay respect/tribute to a legend.
I have a suggestion for your blog. Right now each link when clicked opens in the same window which looses the streaming audio and also loose your spot in the window. So let it open in a separate window. Just a suggestion. You can delete suggestion part before you post the message.
Keep Singing ... I listen
