Listen To 9 Soulful Songs By Mohammed Rafi

Mohammed Rafi’s voice has immortalized him among the legion of great singers that were part of the Hindi film industry, and he is still remembered through his old songs. He is the voice behind the best old Hindi songs, and his talent made him a sort of star. 

Rafi’s songs are melodious and strike a chord in the hearts of the listener. Sadly, the supremely talented singer left us on this day back in 1980. 

It has been 37 years, but his beautiful voice still resonates through these memorable tunes that were few of the best songs of the lot.

#1. Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho

Movie: Chaudhvin Ka Chand

It has been 52 years since this romantic song was first heard and its magic has continued to remain unsurpassed. The song has lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni and music of Ravi. The song was an ode to the gorgeous beauty, Waheeda Rehman.

#2. Aaj Purani Rahon Se

Movie: Aadmi

When the three power house Mohammed Rafi, Naushad and Dilip Kumar come together, the result will obviously be spectacular. This immensely sentimental track is one of the best Bollywood songs by Rafi.

#3. Jab Jab Bahar Aayi

Movie: Taqdeer

In a simpler time when the only thing that mattered was talent, Rafi’s songs added to the beauty of old era movies. The song with music by Laximikant- Pyarelal made the listener completely nostalgic.

#4. Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhaata Chala Gaya

Movie: Hum Dono

This beautiful song has a feel good factor to it and still remains a classic that is hummed by people. It was picturised on the famous Dev Anand and the music was given by Jaidev.

#5. Baharon Phool Barsao

Movie: Suraj

This passionate love song is one of the finest romantic Bollywood song sung by Rafi. It won two Filmfare awards, one for Best playback singer and another for lyricist that went to Hasrat Jaipuri, the music was given by Shankar-Jaikishan.

#6. Kya Hua Tera Wada

Music: R. D. Burman

Anything that has the talent of these powerhouses R. D. Burman and Mohammed Rafi is bound to become a classic which is why this romantic song remains the ever favorite even of the present generation.

#7. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yahan

Nothing sums up the spirit of Mumbai better than this song that despite being so old is still sung and enjoyed by many. The music of this old song by Rafi was given by O. P. Nayyar.

#8. Chahe Mujhe Koi Junglee Kahe

Movie: Junglee

Mohammed Rafi’s versatility was limitless and only he could have lent his melodious voice to this eccentric song and carried off so well. Late Shammi Kapoor did full justice to it as well and so did music composer Shankar- Jaikishan.

#9. Babul Ki Duayen Leti Ja

Movie: Neel Kamal

This beautiful song composed by Ravi and sung by Rafi is the saddest most beautiful track that describes the pain of saying goodbye to a daughter after marriage. The song was so emotional that it made Rafi cry during the end.
