I thank you all for your appreciation of this thread,and I am specially thankful to Mr. Salim Rafi who allowed me to reveal this unseen treasure to all of us Rafians.
Here are all the pages of diary No.57 in PDF format.This is not the complete diary which Rafi saheb left behind.Many of the pages are missing,so we cannot say the exact no.of song recorded by Rafi saheb during this period from 1-11-68to 31-12-68
It seems that many of the respected members (like Unniji, Harold ji Myawanji , aj2001ji ,Badabhaiji,im4afi ji and many others )can read Urdu.So please go through these pages.I believe that there are many interesting things in these pages .Kindly share your observation with the other members who do not know Urdu.

Solved the problem. Saw all the 66 pages you downloaded.Very interesting to note that, there were some last minutes changes in the songs ,may be just before recording the actual song.

First I saw that in the film "Aaya Sawan Jhoom Ke".First it was written in the diary as

Sub janzeere apni tod de
Toofaano ke rukh mode de
Sun o maajhi aaj ka gum too chod de
Aaj to peechay reh gaya hai, saamne hai kal
O maajhi chal, o maajhi chal

But in actual recording the lyrics were changed and recorded as

Aasha-on se naata jod de
Yeh neeraasha ke bandhan tod de
Sun o maajhi aaj ka gum to chod de
Aaj to peechay reh gaya hai,saamne hai kal
O maajhi chal,o maajhi chal


And the second interesting thing to note in that dairy is the song from the film "Prem Pujari"This song is not having two lines from the dairy when it was recorded and the omitted lines from the song are

Jalne do bastiyaa-n nager gher,oognay do angaare
Issi raakh se janmay gay kal sooraj chaand sitaaray

Taqat waten ki hum se hai
Himmet waten ki hum se hai
Izzat waten ki hum se hai
Insaan ke hum rakhwalay

I dont know that any of the HF members noticed these things.Anyway I thought just to bring this to your notice.

Thanks for the nice work you did on Rafi Saab

God bless
