Forever in my heart-The Great Rafi Sahib

Guys lets pay a tribute to the great legend Mohd.Rafi Sahib.

Mohammed Rafi (December 24, 1924 - July 31, 1980) was arguably the greatest of Hindi/Urduplayback singers in Bollywood - along with Kishore Kumar and Mukesh. Rafi still remains popular in Indian Subcontinent and in many other parts of the world such as the UK, Kenya, West Indies, where people of Indian origin have settled. He continues to inspire new Bollywood playback singers like Sonu Nigam, Mohammed Aziz, Shabbir Kumar and Anwar.

Rafi sang many duets with Lata Mangeshkar, but he has also sung a large number of songs with Geeta Dutt and Lata's sister Asha Bhosle as well.

His songs ranged from classical numbers to patriotic songs, sad lamentations to highly romantic numbers, qawaalis to ghazals and bhajans, and from slow melancholic tunes to fast fun-filled songs.

He sung for Rajendra Kumar and Jeetendra, the tragedy heroes Dilip Kumar and Bharat Bhushan, comedian Johnny Walker, and many more. His voice personified the rebellious image of the star Shammi Kapoor and also gave expression to smaller and younger heroes like Biswajit and Joy Mukherjee. Rafi has also sung for singer-actor Kishore Kumar in a few movies like Raagini, Baaghi Shehzaada, and Shararat. Mohd. Rafi has also sung for Talat Mahmood in the film 'Lalarukh' for the song Hai kali kali ke lab par.

Tum Mujeh Yun Bhula Na Paavoge
Jab Kabhi Bhi Sunoge Geet Mere
Sang Sang Tum Bhi Gun Gunavoge
Haan Haan Haan Tum Mujeh Yun Bhula Na Paavoge
O Tum Mujeh Yun..

Voh Baharen Voh Chandni Raaten,
Ham Ne Khi Thin Jo Pyaar Ki Baaten,
Un Nazaaron Ki Yaad Aayegi,
Jab Khayalon Mein Mujh Ko Laavoge..
Haan Haan Haan Tum Mujeh Yun Bhula Na Paavoge
O Tum Mujeh Yun

Mere Haaton Mein Tera Chehera Tha,
Jaise Koyi Gulaab Hota Hai,
Aur Sahara Liya Tha Baahon Kaa,
Voh Sama Kis Tarah Bhulaavoge,
Haan Haan Haan Tum Mujeh Yun Bhula Na Paavoge
O Tum Mujeh Yun

Mujh Ko Dekhe Bina Karaar Na Tha,
Ik Aisa Bhi Daur Guzara Hai,
Jhoot Maano Tho Puch Lo Dil Se,
Mein Kahunga Tho Root Jaavoge,
Haan Tum Mujeh Yun Bhula Na Paavoge
Jab Kabhi Bhi Sunoge Geet Mere
Sang Sang Tum Bhi Gun Gunavoge

Haan Tum Mujeh Yun Bhula Na Paavoge
O Tum Mujeh Yun
