TRIBUTE TO MOHAMMAD RAFI – MY OWN SINGING – PART V

Once in an era one comes across an artiste who not just entertains but influences our lives as never before.  We start searching for newer and better adjectives to describe his or her art. We consider ourselves fortunate to have lived that era with him or her when he or she displayed his or her talent.

There is no other artiste who represents this phenomenon better than the god of songs: Mohammad Rafi.

I am putting up Part V of a post that I published Part IV of on his death anniversary on 31 Jul 23.

I have always maintained that there has been no singer, male or female, like Mohammad Rafi. With his singing, he conveyed to us, what can one do to lyrics and composition simply by singing with his kind of passion, modulation, range, style and aura. Indeed, he made many songs immortal by just singing them. Irrespective of the awards and honours bestowed on other singers, more often than not due to political reasons, many like me feel that Mohammad Rafi was beyond awards including Bharat Ratna. Therefore, to be able to sing the songs earlier sung by Mohammad Rafi is a blessing and honour. This doesn’t, by any stretch of imagination, mean that anyone of us can match his prowess. It only means that we can take lots of joy and pride in the fact that we lived in the era when he was alive and fondly sing his songs to relive their magic. The songs of Part I have been:

1. Aaj purani raahon se koi mujhe awaaz na de.
2. Man tadpat Hari darshan ko aaj.
3. Chhalke teri aankhon se.
4. Hai duniya usi ki zamana usi ka.
5. Paas baitho tabiyat behal jayegi.
6. Tujhe kya sunayun main dilruba.

The songs of Part II have been:

1. Zara sun haseena-e-nazneen.
2. Ek haseen shaam ko dil mera kho gaya.
3. Ajahun na aaye balma sawan beeta jaaye.
4. Jo guzar rahi hai mujhpe use kaise main batayun.
5. Jaan-e-bahar husn tera bemisaal hai.
6. Tum ek baar mohabbat ka imtihaan to lo.

The songs of Part III have been:

1. Aane se uske aaye bahar.
2. Govinda aala re aala.
3. Mittar pyare nu.
4. Nigaahen na phero chale jayenge hum.
5. Aise to na dekho.
6. Mujhe le chalo aaj phir us gali mein.

The songs of Part IV have been:

1. Husn waale tera jawab nahin.
2. Itna hai tumse pyar mujhe.
3. Dil ka bhanwar kare pukaar.
4. Baharon phool barsao.
5. Tum mujhe yun bhula na paoge.
6. Jeet hi lenge baazi hum tum.

Lets start with Part V songs.

Song #25 – Dil ki awaz bhi sun

OP Nayyar

I had promised you a lot more songs from Omkar Prasad Nayyar and here I am again. You will see that the more you see the range of his songs and quality of his compositions, the more you’ll be convinced that he ranks among the greatest composers and music directors that the Hindi films have seen. His being the Music Director of a movie, invariably assured its success. Take this 1968 movie Humsaya from where I have taken this song and you’ll know what I mean:

“Dil Ki Awaaz Bhi Sun” Mohammed Rafi
“Mujhe Mera Pyar De De, Tujhe Aazma Liya Hai” Asha Bhosle, Mohammed Rafi
“Badi Mushkil Se Kaabu Mein Dil-E-Deewana Aaya” Asha Bhosle, Mahendra Kapoor
“Kitna Haseen Hai Yeh Jahan” Asha Bhosle
“O Kanhaiya Kanhaiya” Asha Bhosle
“Woh Haseen Dard De Do” Asha Bhosle
“Aaja Mere Pyar Ke Sahare” Asha Bhosle

Lyricist – Shevan Rizvi

OP Nayyar’s favourite, SH Bihari, was one of the lyricist of the above songs. Hasrat Jaipuri too. However, this song was penned by Shevan Rizvi.
His song in the 1958 Al Hilal was on everyone’s lips. The song was composed by Bulo C Rani: Hamen to loot liya milke husn walon ne. Another song that I can recall is Jaate jaate ek nazar bhar dekh lo.

Mohammad Rafi

Mohammad Rafi was the God of Songs. He sang at levels that were unimaginable by others. In every song, including this, his singing was the fastest way to transport the emotions of the song in you.

Here, he sang for Joy Mukherjee in a movie that was produced and directed by Joy. He had two female leads Mala Sinha and Sharmila Tagore for the simple reason that he had a double role in the movie (Humsaya, that is). In one role he was an Indian Air Force Officer and in the other as his Chinese look-alike. Mala Sinha was the Chinese!

The Lyrics

दिल की आवाज़ भी सुन मेरे फ़साने पे न जा
मेरी नज़रों की तरफ़ देख ज़माने पे न जा

इक नज़र फ़ेर ले जीने की इजाज़त दे दे
रूठने वाले वो पहली सी मुहब्बत दे दे
(इश्क़ मासूम है – २), इलज़ाम लगाने पे न जा

वक़्त इनसान पे ऐसा भी कभी आता है
राह में छोड़के साया भी चला जाता है
(दिन भी निकलेगा कभी – २), रात के आने पे न जा

मैं हक़ीक़त हूँ ये इक रोज़ दिखाऊँगा तुझे
बेगुनाही पे मुहब्बत की रुलाऊँगा तुझे
दाग दिल के नहीं मिटते हैं मिटाने पे न जा

My Own Poetry

Main Bewafa Nahin Hoon

इस से पहले के बेवफाई का मुझे दो तगमा,
अपने एहसास में आने दो वह प्यारा नग़मा;
जो दिल की धड़कन के साज़ से जुबां तक पहुंचा,
कहाँ आगाज़ हुआ था और कहाँ तक पहुंचा.
इस से पहले के बेवफाई का …..

पास रह कर भी तुम दूर चले जाते थे,
मेरी मजबूर तमन्ना को और भी तरसाते थे,
दिल की आवाज़ बन के रह जाती थी सदमा.
इस से पहले के बेवफाई का …

ये दीवार मैंने नहीं तुम्ही ने तो बनायी थी,
कहाँ थी तुम जब पास सिर्फ तन्हाई थी?
मेरी खामोशी उस वक़्त थी मेरे दिल की मेहमान,
इस से पहले के बेवफाई का …

अब हम नहीं, तुम नहीं और हयात भी नहीं,
उल्फत की राहों में सुलगते जज़्बात भी नहीं,
सिसकियाँ भर के खत्म हो गए सब अरमान.
इस से पहले के बेवफाई का …

The Song

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy: Dil ki awaz bhi sun…

Song #26 – Kaise kategi zindagi tere bagair?

This ghazal by the Ghazal King Madan Mohan is from an album called Tere Bagair that was released in 2009. Some of the songs in this album including this one were sung by Mohammad Rafi. Then there are others that were sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Talat Mahmood and Asha Bhosle. There is one by Kishore Kumar too.

Madan Mohan was born on 25 Jun 1924 at Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, where his father Rai Bahadur Chunilal was working as an Accountant General with the Kurdistan Peshmerga forces. Madan Mohan spent the early years of his life in the Middle East. After 1932, his family returned to their home town of Chakwal, then in Jhelum district of Punjab, British India. He joined the Army as a Second Lieutenant in the year 1943. He served there for two years until end of World War II, when he left the Army and returned to Bombay to pursue his musical interests. In 1946, he joined the All India Radio, Lucknow as Programme Assistant, where he came in contact with various artists such as Ustad Faiyaz Khan, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Begum Akhtar, and Talat Mahmood.

He was very fond of singing, and so in 1947 he got his first chance to record two ghazals penned by Behzad Lucknawi, Aane Laga Hai Koi Nazar Jalwa Gar Mujhe and Is Raaz Ko Duniya Jaanti Hai. Soon after, in 1948 he recorded two more private ghazals penned by Deewan Sharar, Wo Aaye To Mahfil Mein Ithlaate Huye Aaye and Duniya Mujhe Kahti Hai Ke Main Tujhko Bhoolaa Doon. In 1948, he got his first opportunity to sing a film duet Pinjare Mein Bulbul Bole and Mera Chhotasa Dil Dole with Lata Mangeshkar under composer Ghulam Haider (composer) for the film Shaheed (1948 film), though these songs were never released or used in the film. Between 1948 and 1949, he assisted music composers SD Burman for Do Bhai, and Shyam Sundar in Actress and Nirdosh.

As Music Director, he scored his first big break with the film Aankhen in 1950. He was soon to emerge as a music director par excellence especially for ghazals. Indeed, music director OP Nayyar once said about Madan Mohan that two of his ghazals were better than all that OP Nayyar composed. Some of the best songs of Lata Mangeshkar (she fondly called him “Madan Bhaiyya”) were composed by him on the lyrics of Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Rajinder Krishan.

The song was penned by Rajinder Krishan. It was originally used in the 1968 Pakistani hit movie Jahan Tum Wahan Hum.

Please enjoy my rendition of: Kaise kategi zindagi tere bagair…

कैसे कटेगी ज़िन्दगी
तेरे बगैर तेरे बगैर
पाउँगा हर शै में कमी
तेरे बगैर तेरे बगैर

फूल खिले तोह यु लगे
फूल नहीं यह दाग हैं
तारे फलक पे यु लगे
जैसे बुझे चिराग हैं
आग लगाये चाँदनी
तेरे बगैर तेरे बगैर
कैसे कटेगी ज़िन्दगी

चाँद घटा में छुप गया
सारा जहाँ उदास है
कहती है दिल की धड़कने
तू कही आस-पास है
ा के तड़प रहा है जी
तेरे बगैर तेरे बगैर
पाउँगा हर शै में कमी.

Song #27 – Jaag dil-e-deewana

Here is another song in Raag Bhairavi and close to my heart. Whilst Mohammad Rafi has delved in high pitch in many of his songs, there are songs like this and Dil ka bhanwar kare pukaar that he had sung in restrained pitch. The effect was heavenly.

This is from the 1965 Phani Majumdar movie Oonche Log starring Ashok Kumar, Raaj Kumar, Feroz Khan, Vijaya and Tarun Bose. Phani Majumdar was the same director who gave us the 1962 movie Aarti starring Pradeep Kumar, Meena Kumari and Ashok Kumar with such beautiful songs as: Aapne yaad dilaya to mujhe yaad aaya, Kabhi to milegi kahin to milegi, Ab kyaa misaal doon main tumhare shabab ki, and Baar baar tohe kyaa samjhaaye. He also made Kanyadaan, and the old KL Saigal movie Street Singer.

The movie Oonche Log was the first big hit of the then newcomer Feroze Khan who as Rajnikant fell in love with KR Vijaya as Bimla, made her pregnant, and made her abort the child for fear of getting his father, Ashok Kumar as Major Chandrakant annoyed. This made her commit suicide. This song was enacted by Feroze Khan still not accepting her absence.

This song was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri, composed by Chitragupta, and sung by Mohammad Rafi.

Please enjoy my rendition of: Jaag dil-e-deewana…

(जाग दिल-ए-दीवाना रुत जागी वस्ल-ए-यार की
बसी हुई ज़ुल्फ़ में आयी है सबा प्यार की ) – २
जाग दिल-ए-दीवाना

(दो दिल के कुछ लेके पयाम आयी है
चाहत के कुछ लेके सलाम आयी है ) – २
दर पे तेरे सुबह खड़ी हुई है दीदार की
जाग दिल-ए-दीवाना …

(एक परी कुछ शाद सी नाशाद सी
बैठी हुई शबनम में तेरी याद की ) – २
भीग रही होगी कहीं कली सी गुलज़ार की
जाग दिल-ए-दीवाना रुत जागी वस्ल-ए-यार की
बसी हुई ज़ुल्फ में आयी है सबा प्यार की
जाग दिल-ए-दीवाना

Song #28 – Chahunga main tujhe saanjh savere

This is one of the best of Laxmikant Pyarelal from the 1964 Satyen Bose movie Dosti, a movie whose songs made L-P one of the most loved music duos in India and a movie whose songs are still fondly remembered even today. Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the lyrics and L-P composed it in the raaga of my place: Pahadi.

Lets start with the movie. Bombay based Rajshri was founded by Tarachand Barjatya in the year 1947. However, Rajshri Productions Pvt Ltd engaged in films production came about in the year 1962. Its first film Arti, in 1962 was highly acclaimed. However, the grand success of its second production Dosti in 1964 included winning the National Award for Best Feature Film and as many as six Filmfare Awards: Best Film, Best Music Director (the debut Filmfare Award for L-P), Best Story: Ban Bhatt, Best Dialogue: Govind Moonis, Best Playback Singer: Mohammad Rafi for the song I am giving you today, and finally Best Lyricist: Majrooh Sultanpuri for the same song.

Dosti was directed by Satyen Bose. It was Sanjay Khan’s debut film and had Sudhir Kumar Sawant, and Sushil Kumar Somaya in lead roles. The film focuses on the friendship between two boys, one blind and the other a cripple.

Laxmikant Pyarelal started off with 1963 movie Parasmani and they made such popular songs for their very first movie that these are fondly remembered even today:

1.	“Hansta Hua Noorani Chehra”	Asad Bhopali	Lata Mangeshkar, Kamal Barot	3:40
2.	“Mere Dil Mein Halki Si”	Asad Bhopali	Lata Mangeshkar	4:56
3.	“Ooi Maa Ooi Maa Yeh Kya Ho Gaya”	Asad Bhopali	Lata Mangeshkar	3:24
4.	“Salamat Raho Salamat Raho”	Indeevar	Mohammad Rafi	5:57
5.	“Woh Jab Yaad Aaye”	Asad Bhopali	Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar	4:43
6.	“Chori Chori Jo Tumse Mili”	Faruk Kaiser	Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar	4:01

The duo that started off so outstandingly well in their very first movie had indeed great future ahead for them. Dosti was only their sixth movie (they did a total of 635 movies between 1963 to 1998) after Parasmani (1963), Harishchandra Taramati (1963), Sati Savitri (1964), Sant Gyaneshwar (1964) and Mr X in Bombay (1964). All these movies too had excellent and memorable songs; eg, Main ek nanha sa main ek chhota sa bachcha hoon and Suraj re jalte rehna from Harishchandra Taramati; Tum gagan ke chandrama ho main dhara ki dhool hoon, Jeevan dor tumhi sang bandhi, Sakhi ri pi ka naam naam na poochho, and Itni jaldi kya hai gori saajan ke sang jaane ki from Sati Savitri; Jaago re prabhat aaya, Jyot se jyot jalaate chalo, and Ek do teen chaar bhaiya bano hoshiyar from Sant Gyaneshwar; Mere mehboob qyaamat hogi, Khoobsurat haseena jaan-e-jaan jaan-e-mann, Chali re chali re gori paniya bharan ko, and Julmi hamaare saanwariya ho Raam from Mr X In Bombay.

The 1964 movie Dosti was a landmark for Laxmikant Pyarelal as the movie’s songs enabled them to receive their first Filmfare Award for Best Music Director. Out of the six songs of the movie, Mohammad Rafi sang six and Lata Mangeshkar sang one. These two playback singers, the best in their fields, stayed with Laxmikant Pyarelal till the end and even sang for them in low budget movies.

Here are the iconic songs that Majrooh Sultanpuri, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar made together for Dosti:

1.	“Chahoonga Main Tujhe Saanj Savere”	Mohammad Rafi	04:55
2.	“Meri Dosti Mera Pyar”	Mohammad Rafi	04:23
3.	“Rahi Manwa Dukh Ki Chinta”	Mohammad Rafi	04:07
4.	“Mera To Jo Bhi Kadam”	Mohammad Rafi	04:03
5.	“Gudiya Humse Roothi Rahogi Kab Tak Na Hasogi”	Lata Mangeshkar	03:31
6.	“Jaanewalo Zara”	Mohammad Rafi	04:06

Lastly, before we take up the song, lets for a minute talk about the lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Majrooh was a contemporary of my favourite: Shakeel Badayuni.

Majrooh Sultanpuri was born on 01 Oct 1919 as Asrar ul Hassan Khan in a Tarin Pashtun family, in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh. His father was an officer in the police department, but, preferred to send his son for traditional madrasa (Urdu school) rather than provide him with English schooling.

He tried his hand at being a quack until he was noticed in a mushaira in Sultanpur.

He was a disciple of the great Urdu poet Jigar Moradabadi. When he visited Bombay in 1945 to participate in a mushaira, the director Abdul Rashid Kardar noticed him and invited him to write for the movies. Majrooh turned it down as he looked down upon movies! He was persuaded through his mentor Jigar Moradabadi and then there was no turning back.

Many traditionalists of the Urdu literature, however, felt that Majrooh sold his soul to the Hindi films and that he could have emerged a great poet in the likeness of Ghalib and Jigar.

The takhalus Majrooh means “injured” or “wounded”.

Majrooh was awarded, in 1993, the highest award – Dadasaheb Phalke award – for his lifetime contribution towards lyrics and poetry. He was the first lyricist ever to be given that award. For the film Dosti, that made Laxmikant Pyarelal famous, he was awarded the Filmfare Best Lyricist Award for the song: Chahunga main tujhe saanjh savere.

For someone who didn’t want to join Hindi movies, Majrooh emerged as a natural lyricist, very popular, very romantic and enchanting.

Laxmikant Pyarelal and Majrooh Sultanpuri paired in a number of movies to make songs: Dosti (1964), Mere Lal (1966), Dillagi (1966), Shagird (1967), Patthar Ke Sanam (1967), Duniya Nachegi (1967), Mere Hamdam Mere Dost (1968), Wapas (1969), Pyasi Sham (1969), Meri Bhabhi (1969), Dharti Kahe Pukar Ke (1969), Abhinetri (1970), Jal Bin Machli Nritya Bin Bijli (1971), Bikhre Moti (1971), Ek Nazar (1972), Anokhi Ada (1973), Imtihaan (1974), Mere Sajana (1975), Anari (1975), Aaj Ka Mahatma (1976), Dus Numbri (1976), Master Dada (1977), Kali Raat (1977), Parvarish (1977), Swan Ke Geet (1978), Naach Utha Sansar (1978), Phaansi (1978), Prayaschit (1979), Ladies Tailor (1981), Ek Aur Ek Gyarah (1981), Watan Ke Rakhwale (1987), Janam Janam (1988), Humshakal (1992), Badi Bahen (1993), West is West (2011) and Soundtrack (2011).

These movies that Majrooh and LP did together produced some really enchanting songs such as Bade miyan deewane, Dil wil pyar wyar, Kanha kanha aan padhi, Woh hain zara khafa khafa, Ruk ja aye hawa, and Duniya pagal hai ya main deewana (all from 1967 movie Shagird); Koi nahin hai phir bhi hai mujhako, Tauba ye matwali chaal, Mehboob mere, and Patthar ke sanam (all from 1967 movie Patthar Ke Sanam); Chhalkaye jaam, Chalo sajna jahan taq, Na jaa kahin ab na jaa, Allah ye ada kaisi, Hui shaam unka khyaal aa gaya, Hamen to ho gaya hai pyaar, and Tum jao kahin (all from 1968 movie Mere Hamdam Mere Dost); and Ye kaisa gham sajna and Yaaro mera saath nibhao (both from 1969 movie Pyasi Sham).

Before we take up the song, let me tell you briefly as to how it came about in the movie. Ramu (Sushil Kumar) is a cripple and good at playing harmonica. Thrown out of his home, crippled and penniless, he roams around the streets of Mumbai. Here he comes across Mohan (Sudhir Kumar), a boy who is blind and has a similar tale of woe. Mohan is a singer. Both meet on the streets of Bombay and form a good pair. One day, Ramu gets into trouble for no fault of his own and is bailed out on the condition that he would keep no contact with Mohan. That’s how this song came about.

Please enjoy Mohammad Rafi sing a composition of Laxmikant Pyarelal on the lyrics of Majrooh Sultanpuri, a song from the 1964 Satyen Bose movie Dosti: Chahunga main tujhe saanjh savere….

चाहूँगा मैं तुझे साँझ सवेरे
फिर भी कभी अब नाम को तेरे
आवाज़ मैं न दूँगा, आवाज़ मैं न दूँगा

देख मुझे सब है पता
सुनता है तू मन की सदा (२)
मितवा …
मेरे यार तुझको बार बार
आवाज़ मैं न दूँगा, आवाज़ मैं न दूँगा
चाहूँगा मैं तुझे साँझ सवेरे

दर्द भी तू चैन भी तू
दरस भी तू नैन भी तू
मितवा …
मेरे यार तुझको बार बार
आवाज़ मैं न दूँगा, आवाज़ मैं न दूँगा

Song #29 – Saathi haath badhana

Alright, as promised, this is another composition of OP Nayyar. He composed this on the lyrics of Sahir Ludhianvi for the 1957 movie BR Chopra Naya Daur starring Dilip Kumar and Vyjayanthimala.

The movie had some really popular songs of that era:

1. “Aana Hai To Aa” – Mohammed Rafi
2. “Dil Leke Daga Denge” – Mohammed Rafi
3. “Main Bambai Ka Babu” – Mohammed Rafi
4. “Yeh Desh Hai Veer Jawanon Ka, Albelon Ka” – Mohammed Rafi, S. Balbir
5. “Mangke Saath Tumhara, Maine Mang Liya Sansar” – Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
6. “Uden Jab Jab Zulfen Teri, Kunwariyon Ka Dil Machle” – Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
7. “Sathi Hath Badhana, Sathi Hath Badhana” – Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
8. “Reshmi Salwar, Kurta Jaali Ka” – Shamshad Begum, Asha Bhosle

I had my sister, Suman Saxena, visiting me in Kandaghat. She is a very fine, devoted, and popular singer. We sang this duet together that was originally sung by Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhosle:

साथी हाथ बढ़ाना, साथी हाथ बढ़ाना
एक अकेला थक जायेगा मिल कर बोझ उठाना
साथी हाथ बढ़ाना …

१) हम मेहनतवालों ने जब भी मिलकर कदम बढ़ाया
सागर ने रस्ता छोड़ा परबत ने शीश झुकाया
फ़ौलादी हैं सीने अपने फ़ौलादी हैं बाहें
हम चाहें तो पैदा करदें, चट्टानों में राहें, साथी …

२) मेहनत अपनी लेख की रखना मेहनत से क्या डरना
कल गैरों की खातिर की अब अपनी खातिर करना
अपना दुख भी एक है साथी अपना सुख भी एक
अपनी मंजिल सच की मंजिल अपना रस्ता नेक, साथी …

३) एक से एक मिले तो कतरा बन जाता है दरिया
एक से एक मिले तो ज़र्रा बन जाता है सेहरा
एक से एक मिले तो राई बन सकती है परबत
एक से एक मिले तो इन्सान बस में कर ले किस्मत, साथी …

४) माटी से हम लाल निकालें मोती लाएं जल से
जो कुछ इस दुनिया में बना है बना हमारे बल से
कब तक मेहनत के पैरों में ये दौलत की ज़ंज़ीरें
हाथ बढ़ाकर छीन लो अपने सपनों की तस्वीरें, साथी …

Song #30 – Aaja re aa zara

Love In Tokyo was the name of this 1966 movie by Pramod Chakravorty. It had Joy Mukherjee and Asha Parekh in the lead roles.

There were eight excellent songs in the movie that were composed by the best duo ever in Hindi movies: Shankar Jaikishan. One was penned by Shailendra: Koi matwala aaya mere dwaare and the others by Hasrat Jaipuri: Sayonara sayonara that became very popular, and Mujhe tum mil gaye hamdam. These were all sung by Lata.  Then there was O mere shah-e-khuba sung by Lata and Rafi. The other three were solos by Rafi: Aaja re aa zara, Love in Tokyo (Le gayi dil gudiya Japan ki), and Main tere pyar ka bimar.

This is a beautiful and sensuous number by Mohammad Rafi pictured on Joy Mukherjee and Asha Parekh.

Please enjoy my rendition of: Aaja re aa zara…

ये ज़िंदगी की महफ़िल, महफ़िल में हम अकेले
दामन को कोई थामे, ज़ुल्फ़ों से कोई खेले

आ जा रे आ ज़रा, लहरा के आ ज़रा
आँखों से दिल में समा
आ जा रे आ ज़रा …

देख फ़िज़ा में रंग भरा है
मेरे जिगर का ज़ख़्म हरा है
सीने से मेरे सर को लगा दे
हाथों में तेरे दिल की दवा है
आ जा रे आ ज़रा …

तेरे भी दिल में आग लगी है
मेरे भी दिल में आग लगी है
दोनों तरफ़ है एक सी हालत
दोनों दिलों पर बिजली गिरी है
आ जा रे आ ज़रा …

अपना सुलगना किसको दिखाऊँ
साँसों के तूफ़ाँ कैसे छुपाऊँ
आँखें क्या क्या देख रहीं हैं
दिल पे जो गुज़री कैसे बताऊँ
आ जा रे आ ज़रा …

In the fourth part, once again, I have given you a wide range of songs of the greatest singer Mohammad Rafi. I hope you liked my selection.

So as not to make the post longer than 30 minutes of your listening pleasure, I give you only six songs at a time.

Please await songs of Part VI.
