Hullo to all in atuldom
So today is a very special day…the Happy Birthday of our collective favourite….. Mohd. Rafi. Is there any one who is not aware of this!
But for people like me who think no-end about themselves and feel that they are the encyclopedia of Hindi fillum music this blog is a learning spot. 1st I came across guru ji and Sudhir ji who knew about all-things recorded in Hindi movie music. Now recently I encountered Shenoy ji and Gajendra ji.
Then I had another jolt last month when I was enjoying music on a TV channel and there was a Shammi Kapoor – Rafi song playing. And what did I note? For some reason I had never thought that the said song was anything but an OP Nayyar output. So it explains the jolt when I discovered that it was Ravi – the person who is called Bombay Ravi in Malayalam movies and Ravi Sharma in Bollywood.
Then I rushed to check on our blog whether what I had learnt recently was correct or some mistake on the part of the said channel in carrying forward some mis-information. Now came the second jolt of the day – we had only 3 songs from the said movie on our blog. So here I am trying in my own small way to rectify the situation and am posting a song from the 1962 movie Chinatown. It is sung by Asha Bhonsle and today’s birthday boy Mohd Rafi. It is written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
Happy birthday to our dear Rafisaab

Lyrics
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
ye dil jahaan le chala wahaan chale
nazaare peechhe peechhe
bahaaren peechhe peechhe
deewanon ka jidhar kaarvaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
duniya hai shaher armaanon ka
bikhre bikhre afsaano ka
duniya hai shaher armaanon ka,
bikhre bikhre afsaano ka
fasane se sunaate
chale hai hum gaate
ke jaise nagamon ka kaarvaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
sapnon ka chaman hai rang liye,
dharti hai gagan ko sang liye
sapno ka chaman hai rang liye,
dharti hai gagan ko sang liye
daali pe kali jhoole
dhanak jaise phoole,
kadam taley jaise aasmaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
oooooooooo
naiyya pe chale jab haule se
paani me dahak gaye shole se
naiyya pe chale jab haule se
paani me dahak gaye shole se
ooooooooo
naiyya pe chale jab haule se
paani me dahak gaye shole se
nazar ko milaaye
jo hum lehraaye
to lehron ne poochha kaho kahaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale
ye dil jahaan le chala wahaan chale
nazaare peechhe peechhe
bahaaren peechhe peechhe
deewanon ka jidhar kaarvaan chale
humse na poochho hum kahaan chale

हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
ये दिल जहां ले चला वहाँ चले
नज़ारे पीछे पीछे
बहारें पीछे पीछे
दीवानों का जिधर कारवां चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
दुनिया है शहर अरमानों का
बिखरे बिखरे अफसानों का
दुनिया है शहर अरमानों का
बिखरे बिखरे अफसानों का
फसाने से सुनाते
चलें हैं हम गाते
के जैसे नगमों का कारवां चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
सपनों का चमन है रंग लिए
धरती है गगन को संग लिए
सपनों का चमन है रंग लिए
धरती है गगन को संग लिए
डाली पे कली झूले
धनक जैसे फूले
कदम तले जैसे आसमां चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
ओsssssssss
नैय्या पे चले जब हौले से
पानी में दहक गए शोले से
नैय्या पे चले जब हौले से
पानी में दहक गए शोले से
ओsssssssss
नैय्या पे चले जब हौले से
पानी में दहक गए शोले से
नज़र को मिलाये
जो हम लहराए
तो लहरों ने पूछा कहो कहाँ चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
ये दिल जहां ले चला वहाँ चले
नज़ारे पीछे पीछे
बहारें पीछे पीछे
दीवानों का जिधर कारवां चले
हमसे ना पूछो हम कहाँ चले
