Tribute to MOHD RAFI on his 30th Death Anniversary

This topic may seem out of the blue, but I was watching B4U during lunch and they were paying only Rafi songs 😳 and couldn't stop myself from opening a topic on this legendary singer. He really dwarfs every filmi singer after him. But out of his 26000 songs, I am familiar with only around 30-40 .

So if you are a Rafi fan then please do us all a favour by sharing your favourite songs! 😃

EDIT: I found out that this is the month of Rafi saab's 30th Death Anniversary. Please let's make this thread a tribute to the great singer, idol for millions, and a great human being. 😃

There are tons of them its very tough to select one. Please make some categories and then maybe one in each

We can turn this into Rafi saab appreciation thread.

No one here would have heard all of his songs. It would be nice if everyone can contribute.

The recent song of Rafi saab which I heard a few days back only. I am hooked to it now.

Ok you can tell me your favourites! But if you want to break it down, how about your favourite songs by each Music Director, or with each Actor?

Like favourite RD Burman-Rafi, Madan Mohan-Rafi, OP Nayyar-Rafi?

I don't want to categorise by genre because there'll be a pile of love songs haha - but if you want it by love songs, devotional songs, qawalli, rocknroll, sad songs then that's cool too. 😳

My favorite from OP Nayyar-Rafi saab combo...

Some of my all-time favourites :

Likhe jo Khat Tujhe Woh Teri Yaad mein
Baharon Phool Barsao
Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil
Raat Kali Ek Khwab mein Aayee
Kal Ki Daulat Aaj Ki Khushiyan
Hari Om Man Tadpat Hari Darshan ko Aaj (Baiju Bawra)
Parvardigaar-e-Aalam Ab Tera Hi hai Sahara
Rahi Manwa Dukh ki Chinta (Dosti)
Tum Bin Jaaon Kahan (also sung by Kishore)
Yaad Na Jaaye Beete Dinon Ki (Dil Ek Mandir)
Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko (Yaadon Ki Baarat)
Aaj Mausam Bada Beimaan hai
Aaja Aaja Mein Hoon Pyaar Tera
Tu Kahan Yeh Bataa Is Nasheelee Raat Mein (Tere Ghar Ke Saamne)
Zindagi Bhar Nahin Booleygi Barsaat Ki Raat
Parda Hai Parda Hai (Amar Akbar Anthony)
Ai Nargise Mastana (Aarzoo)
Phoolon Ki Rani Baharon Ki Malika (Aarzoo)
Pukarta Chala Hoon Mein (Mere Sanam)
Gun guna rahe ye bhavre (Aradhana)
