It is your words that tell of this predicament. Seasons come and go, as they have, year on year on year. . .  but the one who this heart wants to listen to again, has not returned after going away. . .

With today’s song, we come to the end of this series of duets of Rafi Sb. This series got initiated on Rafi Sb’s birth anniversary (24^th Dec) in 2017.  Having gone through 33 episodes, we come to the closure with the Hindi alphabet letter ‘ह’. On the way, over the past almost 15 months, we have touched upon many a wonderful duet songs that simply perpetuate the legend of this divine voice. A blessing that we shared the same time and the planet with him for a certain period of time. The association, and its lasting awareness, has been such a lovely enchanting experience, that has left in the mind two opposing emotions – happiness and regret.  Happiness that we have a wonderful legacy treasure bequeathed to us by this voice. And regret that there could have been more, but alas not destined to be. God works in his own mysterious ways, and we are but mortals subject to his method and his directions.

So much has been said – about Rafi Sb, in this series, and by other contributors on this blog. And by many others, writing about him on various platforms and publications. Satish Shenoy ji, in a comment earlier today, has written – “Any number of posts on Rafisaab are welcome, even at the cost of repetition”.  Yes, eventually there is a limit to words, and to the expressions.  But even after reaching that limit, the heart feels that enough has not been said.  What more could be said, I don’t know.  But I know that “कल और आएंगे॰॰॰ हमसे बेहतर कहने वाले” – and more will be said and written about Rafi Sb, in ways that has not found an expression as yet.  Such is the magic of this wondrous voice, I believe.

Today’s song is from the 1962 film ‘Mall Road’.  The singing accompaniment is Asha Bhosle.  Words are from the pen of Prem Warburtani and the music is from the mind of Sudarshan.

For the record, the complete list of previous songs in this series is given below,

So much more seems to be still wound up inside that needs to be said.  And all that needs to be said, is probably already present in the words that Rafi Sb has sung in his life.  Just to say that he is incomparable, comes to mind the lines he has already uttered,

ना तुम सा कोई जमाने भर में
तुम्हीं को चाहा मेरी नज़र ने॰ ॰ ॰

Maybe some more needs to be said.  Maybe another series of Rafi Sb songs will come about.  Nahm ji has also restarted one of her pending series just last week.  Still a good number of his songs are waiting to be posted here – about a couple of thousands more to go. A lot of opportunity still – to write more about him.  So yes, maybe another series of his songs, who knows.For now, let us listen to this song today – and the words that will come to mind are

“हो गया दिल पे मेरे तेरी आवाज़ का जादू”.

Aameen.

Lyrics 

hum ne bhi pyaar kiya
nazron ko chaar kiya
sau sau bahaane kar ke
tera deedaar kiya
hum ne bhi pyaar kiya..aa

kaisa ye pyaar kiya
dil beqaraar kiya
kar ke ishaare hamen
haaye re maar diya
kaisa ye pyaar kiya..aa

dekha jo tu ne hamen
nazren chura ke
hum bhi rahenge tere
dil mein samaa ke
mujh se na poochho
mere dil ki kahaani
dil bhi deewaana tere
main bhi deewaani
dekha jo tu ne hamen
nazren chura ke
hum bhi rahenge tere
dil mein samaa ke
mujh se na poochho
mere dil ki kahaani
dil bhi deewaana tere
main bhi deewaani
hum ne bhi pyaar kiya
nazron ko chaar kiya
sau sau bahaane kar ke
tera deedaar kiya
hum ne bhi pyaar kiya..aa

chaahe mita do
chaahe kuchh bhi sazaa do
hum hain tumhaare
hamen dil mein basa lo
lehron ka paas rahe
jaise kinaara
aise hi rahe jag mein
saath hamaara
chaahe mita do
chaahe kuchh bhi sazaa do
hum hain tumhaare
hamen dil mein basa lo
lehron ka paas rahe
jaise kinaara
aise hi rahe jag mein
saath hamaara

hum ne bhi pyaar kiya
nazron ko chaar kiya
sau sau bahaane kar ke
tera deedaar kiya
hum ne bhi pyaar kiya..aa

हमने भी प्यार किया
नज़रों को चार किया
सौ सौ बहाने कर के
तेरा दीदार किया
हमने भी प्यार किया॰॰आ

कैसा ये प्यार किया
दिल बेक़रार किया
कर के इशारे हमें
हाए रे मार दिया
कैसा ये प्यार किया॰॰आ

देखा जो तूने हमें
नज़रें चुरा के
हम भी रहेंगे तेरे
दिल में समा के
मुझ से ना पूछो मेरे
दिल की कहानी
दिल भी दीवाना तेरा
मैं भी दीवानी
देखा जो तूने हमें
नज़रें चुरा के
हम भी रहेंगे तेरे
दिल में समा के
मुझ से ना पूछो मेरे
दिल की कहानी
दिल भी दीवाना तेरा
मैं भी दीवानी
हमने भी प्यार किया
नज़रों को चार किया
सौ सौ बहाने कर के
तेरा दीदार किया
हमने भी प्यार किया॰॰आ

चाहे मिटा दो
चाहे कुछ भी सज़ा दो
हम हैं तुम्हारे हमें
दिल में बसा लो
लहरों के पास रहे
जैसे किनारा
ऐसे ही रहे जग में
साथ हमारा
चाहे मिटा दो
चाहे कुछ भी सज़ा दो
हम हैं तुम्हारे हमें
दिल में बसा लो
लहरों के पास रहे
जैसे किनारा
ऐसे ही रहे जग में
साथ हमारा

हमने भी प्यार किया
नज़रों को चार किया
सौ सौ बहाने कर के
तेरा दीदार किया
हमने भी प्यार किया॰॰आ
