When masters of melody ruled the roost

IF YOU THINK THAT RAFI/BAKSHI/AND LAXMIKANT PYRELALL WAS

BETTER, THEN YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO SONGS BY ANOTHER TRIO

RAFI/NAUSHAD/MAJROOH SULTANPURI

OUR NEXT SERIES OF RAFI SONGS PRESENTATION, WE WILL FOCUS ON MOHD RAFI NAUSHAD AND SHAKEEL BADAYUNI

.

[imported_abdool]

These three Rafi/Bakshi/LP certainly ruled to roost: There were so many hits,

and not hits like of today; when I speak of hits, I mean songs ages ago and is still

hummable today:

Anyone remember this?

Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

(Jaan jaani janardan, tara-ram-pam-pam-pam-pam)2
Sahib ne bulavaya, haazir hun main aaya,
The master have sent for me, Here I am, on my way
Hun yaaroon ka main yaar, dushmanon ka dushman, de dhana-dan!
I am a friend to friends, an enemy to the enemies
Jaan jaani janardan

(Jaan jaani janardan, tara-ram-pam-pam-pam-pam)2
Sahib ne bulavaya, haazir hun main aaya,
The master have sent for me, Here I am, on my way
Hun yaaroon ka main yaar, dushmanon ka dushman, de dana-dan!
I am a friend to friends, an enemy to the enemies
Jaan jaani janardan tara-ram-pam-pam-pam-pam

(Ye tino naam hain mere,)2 Allah, Jesus, Ram hain mere
All three names are mine, Allah, Jesus, Ram are mine
Jis naam se jo chahe, jo chahe mujhe bulaale
Whichever name they choose, whoever may call out for me
Jisane jo faramaaya, jo maanga main laaya
Whatever they order, whatever they desire, I will serve
Hun yaaron ka main yaar dushmanon ka dushman,
I am a friend to friends, an enemy to the enemies
de dhana-dan!
Look out danadan.

(Jaan jaani janardan, tara-ram-pam-pam-pam-pam)2

(Ye filmon ke sitare)2, dekho nikale chamakate taare
These film stars, look how they all shine with glamour
(Ye sabaka dil bahalaayen, main inaka dil bahalaaun)2
They entertain the world, and I entertain them
Hiro in se takaraya, hiro ko gussa aaya
The hero collided with them, the hero was angry
Hun yaaron ka main yaar dushmanon ka dushman,
I am a friend to friends, an enemy to the enemies
mast dhana-dan!
On a high

(Jaan jaani janardan, tara-ram-pam-pam-pam-pam)2

(Angrezi ho ya desi, filmein sabhi main ne dekhi)
English or local films I have seen them all
(Har pikchar dekhake socha, main bhi aiktar ban jaauun)2
Every picture I saw, I thought I should become an actor
Qismat ne ghumaaya, hotal mein pahunchaya
Fate whirled me around, landed me in this hotel
Hun yaaroon ka main yaardushmanon ka dushman,
I am a friend to friends, an enemy to the enemies
dekh dhana-dan!
Look out, dana dan.

Lata

dhoondthe tohe taaro ke chhanv mein
Searching for you under canopy of stars
kitane kaante chubhe mere paavn mein
See how many thorns in my feet
toone soorat dikhaayee na zaalimaa
you didn’t make an appearance, cruel one[/B]
paradesee huaa rah ke gaavn mein
You became a stranger, living in our village

Rafi

seems my aanganaa (inner courtyard)
oh ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover

Rafi
aayee baagon mein phoolon ki savariyan
In the garden have appeared waves of flowers
mele ki ho gayi sab taiyyaariyaan
all preparations for the fair are made
tera mera milan kab hoga
when will we two come together
mili preetam se sab panahaariyan
All the water carrying girls met their beloved
oy shaabaa shaabaa
hey come on, come on
dhoor dhoor rah ke jeene se
living far far away, in separation
main aa jaaun tang naa
lest I become tired of living
oh ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover
aan milo aan milo sajanaa

Rafi

How to ask playful lovers’ questions
sang hoti hain teri saheliyan
you are surrounded by your girlfriends

Lata
ve channaa kis dam kiya ye saheliyan
my moon, when will they go, your girlfriends
meriyaa raataa ne giniyaa akeliyan
my nights are so barren, alone
oh shaabaa shaabaa
hey come on, come on
raat raat bhar neend na aaye
all night, can’t sleep all night
khan khan khanake kangnaa
khan, khan, your kangna makes this noise
oh ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover

rang rang ke phool khile hain
Flowers in a riot of colors
mohe bhaaye koyi rang naa
But none appeals to me

When the shocking news of Rafi Sahab’s demise was received. The sad news
spread like wild fire throughout the country. Songs turned into a dirge.
The angels wept in the sky and tears were shed in the form of raindrops over his namaaz-e-janaza (funeral prayer), His funeral procession started amid heavy rain and thunder, people gathered on the top of buildings, trees and in windows to catch a last glimpse of their favourite singer. The procession reached the Juhu graveyard many famous film personalities were trying their best to control the crowd which had gathered to pay it’s last respects to the voice which had warmed their hearts for decades.A voice which had become a part of their lives

It is a pity that no one in his family of four sons and three daughters take up the mantle,

others did but they came near, and that was about it: Think what it would have been to have another Rafi today:

I guess that was a gift from God:

Sonu Nigam, Shabbir Kumar, Bankin Pathak, Debashish DasGupta, Vipin Sachdeva, Azeez Mohamed, and a few more

Happy Birthday to you – 2
Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

Baar baar din ye aaye, baar baar dil ye gaaye
Time and again, let this day return, and let the heart sing this
Tu jiye hazaaron saal, ye meri hai aarzoo
May you live thousands of years, this is my wish

Happy Birthday to you – 2
Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

Beqaraar hoke daaman, thaam lun main kiska – 2
Impulsively, who shall I reach for?
Kya misaal dun main teri, naam lun main kiska
Who can be your equal, who is such a one?
Nahin, nahin, aisa haseen, koyi nahin hai
no, no, so beautiful there is none
Jis pe ye nazar ruk jaaye, be-misaal jo keh laaye
cant take my eyes off, the one who is called matchless
Tu jiye hazaaron saal, ye meri hai aarzoo
May you live thousands of years, this is my wish

Happy Birthday to you – 2
Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

auron ki tarha kuchh main bhi, tohfa leke aata
like others, I too should have brought a gift
Main teri haseen mehfil mein, phool leke aata
in this beautiful assembly, I would have brought flowers
Jinhe kaha usse chaaha, phoolo ki zaroorat
The one spoken to, was loved, needs no flowers*
Jo pahar khud keh laaye, har kali ka dil dhadhkaaye
The one who dug up a mountain, made every flower bud’s heart beat
Tu jiye hazaaron saal, ye meri hai aarzoo
May you live thousands of years, this is my wish
Happy Birthday to you – 2
Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

Singer :Mohd Rafi
Lyrics :Anand Bakshi
Director :Laxmikant Pyarelal

mere dil se sitamgar tune achhi dillagi ki hai
My heart, O cruel one, you toyed with so casually
ke banke dost apane doston se dushamani ki hai
under the guise of friendship you were an enemy to your friends

(mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse)2
you who are my enemy, may you long for my friendship
mujhe gam denewale tu khushi ko tarse
you who gave me grief, may you long for happiness
mere dushman
My enemy

tu phool bane patjarh ka tujhape bahaar na aaye kabhi
May you be a bloom in autumn, may the spring never touch you
meri hi tarah tu tadape tujhako karaar na aaye kabhi
May you be in agony like me, may you never know peace
tujhako karaar na aaye kabhi
may you never know peace
jeiye tu iss tarah keh zindagi ko tarse
May you live in such a manner that you long for life
mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse
My enemy, may you long for my friendship
mere dushman
My enemy

itna toh asar kar jaayen meri wafaaye o bewafa
Let there this much effect of my fidelity, O fickle one
ek roz tujhe yaad aaye apani jafaye o bewafa
One day you may remember your cruelties, O fickle one
apani jafaye o bewafa
your cruelties, O fickle one
pashemaan ho ke roye tu hasi ko tarse
May you cry tears of regret, may you long for laughter
mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse
My enemy, may you long for my friendship
mere dushman
My enemy

tere gulshan se zyada viraan koi viraana na ho
May there be no desert more barren than your orchard
iss duniya mein koi tera apan toh kya begana na ho
Let alone friends, in this world, may you not even know strangers
apan toh kya begana na ho
not friends, not even strangers
kisi ka pyar kya tu berukhi ko tarse
What of some one’s love, may you long for their rejection
mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse
My enemy, may you long for my friendship
mere dushman
My enemy

You awoke the pain in my heart
(Pehle To Maein Shaayar Tha)2 Aashiq Banaya Aapne
Before I was a poet, now you’ve made me into a lover

(Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne)2
You awoke the pain in my heart

(Aapki Madhosh Nazrein Kar Rahi Hain Shaayari)2
Your intoxicating glances are making poetry
Yeh Ghazal Meri Nahin Yeh Ghazal Hai Aapki
This poem isn’t mine; this poem is yours
Maine To Bas Woh Likha, Jo Kuchh Likhaaya Aapne
I simply wrote that which you caused me to write.

(Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne)2
You awoke the pain in my heart

Kab Kahan Sab Kho Gayi Jitni Bhi Thi Parchhaiyaan
For all the shadows here, when and where was everything lost?
Uth Gayi Yaaron Ki Mehfil Ho Gayi Tanhaiyaan
The company of friends rose to leave; loneliness moved in.
Kab Kahan Sab Kho Gayi Jitni Bhi Thi Parchhaiyaan
For all the shadows here, when and where was everything lost?
Uth Gayi Yaaron Ki Mehfil Ho Gayi Tanhaiyaan

What happened? Perhaps you dropped some curtain

(Aur Thodi Der Mein Bas Hum Judaa Ho Jayenge)2
And in a little while we’ll be separated
Aapko Dhoondunga Kaise Raaste Kho Jayenge
How will I search for you? I’ll lose the road.
Naam Tak Bhi To Nahin Apna Bataaya Aapne
You haven’t even told me your name

Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne
You awoke the pain in my heart
(Pehle To Maein Shaayar Tha)2 Aashiq Banaya Aapne
Before I was a poet, now you’ve made me into a lover

MOHAMED RAFI: THE VERSATILE GENIOUS

LEGENDS COMMENTS ON THE LEGENDARY GREAT…THE MASTER:

Exactly 25 years after Rafi’s death, his songs remain immortal. On July 31 every year, musicians and fans do their bit to remember their idol.

LAXMIKANT/PYRELALL ON RAFI:

Pyarelal spins back down the years. He recalls: “Laxmiji and I became music directors after a long period of struggle. But we had known Rafi because we had been musicians for many years. In our early days, Rafi had given me Rs 500, which was a big amount those days. I told him I won’t return it and he just smiled. Till today, I have kept that money.”

According to Pyarelal, Rafi laughed a lot. “He talked less and had a special style of nodding his head. He always looked down and talked, no matter whom he talked with. For him, everybody was the same, and he talked to everybody in the same tone,” he points out.

Rafi had a special habit of keeping his car spotless clean. “He had a Fiat, and he would put together all these lights and bright-coloured objects. Even at home, he would insist on cleanliness. There was one room full of awards, and he took care of each award. Another thing he loved was good food. He’d have a lavish meal whenever he could,” he says.

Pyarelal, however, points out that Rafi rarely went to parties. “He liked to stay in his own world, and concentrate on two things — namaz and riyaz. But he has come to my birthday party twice. They may be among the exceptions he made, but we were so close,” he adds.

The conversation naturally shifts to Rafi’s approach towards singing. Says Pyarelal: “He was God-gifted. He used to do so much riyaz that everything looked so simple. Then, he would modulate his voice to suit each hero, whether it was Dilip Kumar, Bharat Bhushan or Shammi Kapoor.”

Pyarelal says Rafi was a strict disciplinarian when it came to work. He elaborates: “He never cancelled any recording, even if he had a 102 degree temperature. In fact, he was the first singer to regularly go on foreign tours. He would go every year, first with his small orchestra, and later with a bigger group.”

Was there anything that Rafi loved as much as singing? Pyarelal laughs: “Yes, he loved whistling. He would whistle regularly, either in the form of a tune or just loudly when he was happy.”

For Pyarelal, the tales would never cease. But then, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Rafi not only made some great music together, but shared a special bond too.
