Dear Pradeepji,

Followings are my thoughts only. Where are Proof Readers?

[I have no intension to heart anyone’s sentiments, if any such things happens, please forgive me. ]


Honestly, have a look in below mentioned three era’s & justify…
1-Pre Rafi Era
2-Rafi Era
3-Pro Rafi Era

1- Pre Rafi Era, very respectable personalities were there & were (& still) idol of all great , new/old singers (including Rafi) eg. K.L.Shegal, Jagmohan, GMDurani, ShyamKumar etc. They were institutes in themselves & they were capable enough to sung difficult song effortlessly. Doubtlessly, even today, their many songs are matchless.

CONCLUSION :
In that era arts, dedications & Scholars of sugam/classical/semi-classical sangeet were there but their impact on common people was minimum, in other words, it was on handful people only. Ghazals, Sher-O-Shayeri, Nazm etc were there but its influence & impact on common people was negiligble. Common people was least bothered about the subject.

2-Rafi Era…When Rafi came on dais…. he came, he saw,….
(one sentence is enough, but would love to say some more about this era). Common people who were not having any knowledge about music suddenly became disciples/master of the subject. They started searching about Raag, about Sher-O-Shairee, about Ghazals/Najm, about classical/semi classical/sugam sangeet. Suddenly B&W world changed to Eastman Colour, 35mm celluloid screen of life become cinemascope, Sell of Radios/Transistors reached to its peak height, worried, hollowed & faint light eyes become shining with welcome look, pale faces turned pinky with permanent smile on it. Life become cheerful. In real sense first time ‘Dil dhadka’. Whether it is a journey in train or in bus every one was busy singing, internally. Some people became so much involved that they forget the surrounding & internal situation turned external, due to strange looks of nearby people vice-versa and after some time vice-versa, it goes on & on.
Saying ’….khud ko Rafi samajh raha hai’ become famous & common and is true also because as long as voice do not comes out of throat it is 100% of Rafi’s Voice when it comes out it may sound different (who cares). I guarantee, just hear Rafi Songs for 20 to 30 days & you will become full of confidence for singing.

Such was the impact of his songs that there were lots of ‘Tootey Dil wale’, ‘Jude Dil Waale’, , Shayerana-Andaaz waale, Aashiq-Mizaz, Dil-Faink, Gumnaam, Badnaam, Neknaam, khyaali-Masuqa ke Aashik, Apni Heer ko dhundte Ranjhe, Fakirana Andaaz waale, Kisse Love-letters ke, etc etc etc . [These are different form of love] In one sentence, LOVE WAS IN AIR.

Blindly, pick-up any song of Rafi, it is pure like Ganga-jal & clear like crystal , no vurgality, no ill-feelings, non damaging. When he sings, dead words becomes alive, meaning-less words becomes full of meanings and travels straight to the bottom of heart, shacking it to break the tense rope & forcing it to generate fresh blood bubbles. That’s why during his era BP generated disease were minimum. Even now , Rafians are untouchable for such disease.

CONCLUSION :
Mere Dil ki Duniya mein abhi bhi Rafi Era chal raha hai that’s why NOT CONCLUDED. [and it will be go on till my last breath]



3- Pro Rafi Era
For this I would like to write conclusion only.

CONCLUSION :-
Na vo hushn mein rahi shokhiyan,
na vo ishq mein rahi garmiyaan
Na to aah mein vo tadap rahi ,
na vo khum hai julf-e-aayaz mein.
