Melodious and Sweet Velvet Voice Born
This article is written by Mr D.P.Bijoor
24th December will mark the birthday of our beloved King of Melody Mohammed Rafi Saab. This day a Melodious & Sweet Velvet voice was born almost 84 years ago to be destined as the Greatest Ever to rule the Music Industry confined not only in our Country but the entire Universe as a whole.
Such a personality having great humanitarian values and possessing the most simplicity mannerisms is probably most difficult to be found in the near future
As a mark of respect to the Greatest Rafi Saab, we all his near & dear fans & admirers wish to remember him with floral tributes by silently humming:
Baar Baar tum ye gao, Bar Bar dil ye gaye
Tumharee yaad jeeye hazaro Sal
Ye Hum Sabkee Aarzoo
Happy Birthday to Rafi Saab
Happy Birthday to you !!!

Dear Friends
I have compiled two CDs of Rafi saabs songs and gifted it to some of my friends.The CD has many uncommon songs sung by Rafi saab for the Panchratana music directors, Roshan,S.D.Burman,,Madan mohan Jaidev&,Naushad, besides S.J, O.P.Nayyar, K.A.and others. As a connoisseur of music, Iam in the process of making the third CD with another set of melodies. This CD is available with me at NO COST to all Rafi fans.
Talking of Rafi saab, he was a true Avatar of GOD. It is said that whenever, God makes his presence, the entire battalion comes with him, So was the case with Rafi saab. The galaxy of actors, music directors,lyricists, during his period is a true testimony.
No doubt Rafi Sb. is the greatest singer of the world and his personality is unique among all the singers. His sweet voice and his simplicity can never be forgotten as it is difficult to find a person who is a great singer and has a great personality as well.
-Imran-
Indeed, Rafi Saab just cannot be forgotten. His songs, simplicity, his down to earth nature, that bright and affectionate smile, that whisper like speech above all his charitable heart…… just impossible for any other person to inherit or possess. To say he was very saintly person may be appropriate term. There will not be a second Rafi…. or a second avatar of Rafi on this globe….. He is up there… somewhere….. twinkling…. like his famous smile. Time and again, like Shri CN Sivaramakrishnan wishes…. I had expressed a similar request to the Padma awardees through these column(s) to honour the memory of Rafi Saab with a Bharat Ratna award. He definitely deserves like his contemporaries like the great Lata, MGR etc…. Even MGR if I can remember was awarded postumously in Jan 1988….. so why not this noble soul. Rafi was a musical university. Singers keep copying him to this date
I respect the feelings & sentiments of Mr Sivaramkrishnan that our beloved King of Melody — Mohammed Rafi Saab should be conferred with the highest civilian award namely the Bharat Ratna
In my personal opinion can there ever be any award which can be conferred on this pious personality and the calibre of Rafis magnitude who has always remained & will remain the greatest ever the universe & the almighty has created
Rafi saab was a legendary singer. Many of his songs are simply nerve wrecking. Iam wondering why the higest civilian award – BHARAT RATNA was not confered on Rafi saab posthumously till now. We, the admirers of Rafi saab should strongly represent to the juries of the the padma award committee. The duet song – Piya Kaisee Miloon tujse – with Lata will simply touch the heart an soul of the juries. Is any one listening.?
may god leave the heaven window open till the day of ressurection,and may raise him as a gracious one, ameen
Happy Birthday to the greatest singer ever lived and a humble human being.
84th Happy Birtday to Legendary Rafi Sahib.
Pyaar Ka Saaz Bhi Hain, Dil Ki Awaaz Bhi Hai
Mere Geeton mein tumhi tum ho Mujhe Naaz Bhi Hai…..
Chheda mere dil ne tarana tere pyaar ka
Jisne soona kho gaya poora nasha ho gaya…..
These lines are really true because today which songs were sung by
us that is the property or ( virasat )of legendary rafi sahib. I thanks
all of you & please keep maintain the memory of rafi sahib the flames
of candle.
Many many happy returns of the day to the greatest singer ever Rafi Saahab. Long live the king of melody our beloved Rafi Saahab.

Today is a special day for us and all music lovers . On this day our beloved Rafi Saheb, the “Awaaz Ke Jadugaar” was born who ruled the music world for a long 36 years and still touching the heart of all music lovers with his golden voice.
This day is a very auspious day of the film hindi music industry the great playback singer Mohdrafisahab was born and he sang more than 26000 songs in his entire 35 yrs of his career. But one sad thing is there is no articles on his birthday in any newspapers. Fine. I remember one song “Baar Baar ye din aaye”.
