Kya Hua Tera Vaada
Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko
Badan Pe Sitare
Likhe Jo Khat Tujhe
Oo Haseena
Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho
Dil Ke Jharokhe Mein
Jhilmil Sitaron Ka
Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil
Aane Se Uske Aaye Bahaar
Gulabi Aankhein
So, that was our small token of appreciation for Mohammed Rafi and his songs. With his songs around, the world is more bearable and a better place to live in. His contribution to arts and entertainment is inspiring. The gravitas in his voice is soothing. The legendary singer will always be missed.
