The following list of Filmi Qawwalis which are devotional in tone and are used in hindi films depicting various cinematic situations: Again the versatile Rafi Saab proved his mettle (best efforts) as undisputed king of Qawwali arena of Hindi Film Music whether be it Islamic or romantic in nature. Again this category divided into two sections, namely, devotional and romantic.Īpart from cinema qawwalis, Rafi Saab had sung many private albums which are particularly religious (Islamic) in tone and appeal directly to the heart no matter what sort of religion the listener follows. It is performed with one or two lead singers, several chorus singers, harmonium, tabla, and dholak. The Side-B of sufi singing is Qawwali which is a Sufi form of devotional music based on the principles of Hindustani classical. Main zindagi ka saath (hum dono, 1961) Aadmi musafir hai (apnapan, 1977) Yeh zindagi ke mele (mela, 1948) Dil ka soona saaz tarana (ek naari do roop, 1973) Zamane ne mare jawan kaise kaise (baharon ke sapne, 1967) Na tu zameen ke liya ( daastan, 1974) Chal musafir door hai to ( ganga ki saughandh, 1978) Jaane walon zara mud ke dekho (dosti, 1964) Rahee manwa dukh ki chinta ( dosti, 1964) Naiyaa teri majdhar (awara, 1951) Maajhi chal o maajhi chal ( aya sawan jhoom ke, 1969) Zindabad zindabad aye mohabbat ( mughal-e-azam, 1960) Tu hindu banega na musalaman (dhool ka phool, 1959) Some of the most memorable songs with various music directors are mentioned herein: Personally, I loved most of the songs of Great Rafi Saab. It is very difficult to compile a list of Rafi’s Great philosophical songs, since they are innumerable. The first category of sufi songs belongs to philosophical songs which are huge in collection, There is no need to go over Rafi’s songs, since everyone is familiar about most of Rafi songs. Sufi songs were said to be sung in order to commune with God. Initially, Sufi songs were sung to celebrate love for God. Whether it is a romantic song or sad sufi song, you cannot help but notice them and get totally lost in them.
Sufi songs are mystical and soothe your heart. Such songs have unique appeal about them. Many of you must be huge fans of Sufi songs. A person can strives towards intimate knowledge or communion with God through listening to Sufi Songs. Sufi songs resemble a path of devotion and love which leads to none other than God himself. The musical and ecstatic aspect of Sufism is called Sama. The sufi is one who is a lover of Truth, who by means of love and devotion moves towards the Truth. The practice of Sufism is the intention to go towards the Truth, by means of love and devotion. The word ‘Sufi’ is derived from the Arabic word ’suf’ which means wool and the word suf which refers to the Sufis habit of wearing wool is more popular supposed derivations of the word sufi. Rafi Saab’s brother recognized the extraordinary musical gift that his brother possessed.Īt first, let me shed some light on the word Sufism and it’s significance in Hindi Film Music. Rafi’s brother recognized the God given talent of Rafi Saab who possessed extraordinary voice even though he was very young. And to Rafi’s elder brother’s surprise, Rafi was able to reproduce every note (sur) of the devotional number very accurately. And Rafi was humming the same number while he followed the saint.
That sufi saint was singing some devotional number with his Ektara (an instrument with single string). I would also like to remind that when Rafi Saab was only 7 years old, ignoring the reprimands of his parents, his elder brother saw Rafi following a sufi saint. Rafi Saab remains immortal through his voice.
His mystic voice still enchants all the music lovers and will continue to enchant them forever. Rafi Saab was a genius who appears only once in a lifetime. These songs played a very important role in Hindi cinema moving the storyline and displaying the characters various traits in-depth. I would like to continue the topic but in different perspective of Sufi songs which again classified into two sections: a) philosophical b) qawwali songs.
