Mohammed Rafi (Hindi: मोहम्मद रफ़ी, Urdu: محمد رفیع; December 24, 1924 – July 31, 1980), was an Indian playback singer whose career spanned five decades.Rafi was a versatile singer of Indian cinema and sang in many Indian languages including Hindi, Urdu, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Sindhi, Kannada, Gujarati Konkanni Goan and Telugu. He also recorded English and Persian songs. He is primarily remembered, however, for his Hindi-Urdu songs. Rafi was one of the leading male singers in the Hindi film music industry from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Dil Ke Jharoke Mein Tujko Bithakar
Yadoon Ko Teri Maein Dulhan Banakar
Rakhoonga Maein Dil Ke Paas
Mat Ho Meri Jaan Udaas,

Dont you guys miss the old time Lyrics ? nowdays the lyrics are a bunch of crap with rap all over the place, Where did the awesome urdu/Hindi words go. Don’t you think its bad mixing English into south Asian songs ? What do you guys think ?

Absolutely true. This song is also very difficult to sing because Rafi did not break the rhythm even for a moment for such a long stanzas. He paused for very little time but still maintained the beauty of lyric.

Here are some more:

Hope you will enjoy the poetry and music as well.
