Mohammed Rafi
(December 24, 1924 – July 31, 1980),
was an Indian playback singer whose career spanned four decades. He won several awards including Padma Shri, 5 National Awards and 6 Filmfare awards.
Rafi sang Bhajjans and Qawalis. He sang in many Indian languages including Hindi, Konkani, Urdu, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Sindhi, Kannada, Gujarati, Maghi, Mathili and Telugu. He also recorded a few English and Persian songs.

He sang a song about my City Lucknow " Yeh Lakhnau Ki Sar-Zameen" in the film "Chaudavi Ka Chand"
Ye Laknau Ki Sar-zameen -5
Ye Rang-roop Ka Chaman
Ye Husn-o-ishq Ka Vatan
Yahi To Vo Muqaam Hai
Jahaan Avadh Ki Shaam Hai
Javaan-javaan Haseen-haseen
Ye Laknau Ki Sar-zameen -2
Shabaab-o-sher Ka Ye Ghar
Ye Ahl-e-ilm Ka Nagar
Hai Manzilon Ki God Mein
Yahaan Har Ek Rah-guzar
Ye Shahar Laaladaar Hai
Yahaan Dilon Mein Pyaar Hai
Jidhar Nazar Uthaaiye
Bahaar Hi Bahaar Hai
Kali-kali Hai Naazaneen
Ye Laknau Ki Sar-zameen -2
Yahaan Ki Sab Ravaayaten
Adab Ki Shaahakaar Hain
Ameer Ahl-e-dil Yahaan
Gareeb Jaan-nisaar Hain
Har Ek Shaak Par Yahaan
Hain Bulbulon Ki Chah-chahen
Gali-gali Mein Zindagi
Kadam-kadam Pe Kah-kahen
Har Ik Nazaara Hai Dilnasheen
Ye Laknau Ki Sar-zameen
Ye Laknau Ki Sar-zameen ...
Nibhaayi Apani Aan Bhi
Badhaayi Dil Ki Shaan Bhi
Hain Aise Maharabaan Bhi

In June 1944 Tanvir sent me a message asking me to bring along Mohammed Rafi on my next trip to Bombay. Rafi was then a young and upcoming singer who often performed for my maternal grandfather along with his mentor, All Bakhsh Zahur, in our ancestral haveli in Lahore’s Kucha Faqir Khana. Rafi’s family managed a men’s salon in nearby Noor Mohalla.
Rafi got his break in Nazeer’s Laila Majnu starring Nazeer and his wife Swaran Lata. He sang the song Ja raha hai carvan, yeh zindagi ka carvan, which became an instant hit. Tanvir Naqvi wrote the lyrics of the song. Mohammed Rafi never looked back after that. He went on to sing for Kardar’s Swami, Mahbub’s Anmol Ghadi etc. He hit the pinnacle of fame with Shaukat Hussain Rizvi’s Jugnu — he sang the memorable duet with Noor Jehan "Yahaan badla wafa ka baywafai kay siva kya hai".
