Tribute to Mohd. Rafi: December 24, 1924 – July 31, 1980

Mohammed Rafi was an Indian playback singer. He is considered as one of the greatest and most influential singers of the Indian subcontinent.

Rafi was notable for his voice, versatility and range; his songs were varied from fast peppy numbers to patriotic songs, sad numbers to highly romantic songs, qawwalis to ghazals and bhajans to classical songs.



He was known for his ability to mould his voice to the persona and style of an actor, lip-syncing the song on screen in the movie. He received six Filmfare Awards and one National Film Award. In 1967, he was honoured with the Padma Shri award by the Government of India.



In 2001, Rafi was honoured with the "Best Singer of the Millennium" title by Hero Honda and Stardust magazine. In 2013, Rafi was voted for the Greatest Voice in Hindi Cinema in the CNN-IBN's poll.

He has recorded songs for over a thousand Hindi films and has sung songs in various regional Indian languages as well as foreign languages, though primarily in Hindi-Urdu and Punjabi over which he had a strong command. He has recorded as many as 7405 songs in many languages. He has sung in many regional Indian languages including Konkani, Assamese, Bhojpuri, Odia, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Sindhi, Kannada, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Magahi, Maithili.

ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਨ: ਅੰਗ #੩ | Today's extract from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji from Page #3

ਮੇਰੀ ਕੀਹ ਤਾਕਤ ਹੈ ਕਿ (ਕਰਤਾਰ ਦੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਦੀ) ਵਿਚਾਰ ਕਰ ਸਕਾਂ? (ਹੇ ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖ!) ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਉੱਤੋਂ ਇਕ ਵਾਰੀ ਭੀ ਸਦਕੇ ਹੋਣ ਜੋਗਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਾਂ (ਭਾਵ, ਮੇਰੀ ਹਸਤੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਤੁੱਛ ਹੈ) ਹੇ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ! ਤੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਅਟੱਲ ਰਹਿਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈਂ। ਜੋ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚੰਗਾ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਕੰਮ ਭਲਾ ਹੈ (ਭਾਵ, ਤੇਰੀ ਰਜ਼ਾ ਵਿਚ ਰਹਿਣਾ ਹੀ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ) ।

मेरी क्या ताकत है कि (करते की कुदरत की) विचार कर सकूँ? (हे अकाल-पुरख!) मैं तो आप पर एक बार भी सदके होने के काबिल नहीं हूँ (अर्थात मेरी हस्ती बहुत ही तुच्छ है)। हे निरंकार! तू सदा अटल रहने वाला है जो आपको अच्छा लगता है वही काम भला है (भाव तेरी रज़ा में रहना ही ठीक है)।
