Here are all the Rafi songs up to 1946 about which the info is available in the encyclopaedia. As I have mentioned before, Rafi sang 270 songs in the period 1944 to 1950. This info is arranged yearwise. The listing includes the year, the name of the movie, opening words of the song, music director, lyricist, and Rafi's singing partners, if any. The word DITTO means that the info on the previous line is repeated. A total of 36 songs are listed of which I have heard just 3 songs all from 1946. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1944 (2 male duets) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- pahale aap: tum dillii me.n aagaare, naushaad, d.n. madhok, Rafi and shaam DITTO ek baar unhe.n milaa de, DITTO DITTO Rafi and shaam -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1945 (5 solos, 2 female duets, 1 triple and 2 with chorus = 10) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- begam: dil diye chale, dil liye chale, hari prasanna daas, g. s. nepaalii, Rafi and mohanataaraa talapaDe hamaaraa sansaar: ai dile nakaam tamannaa, gobind raam, ramesh guptaa, Rafi solo DITTO chhoTii sii ek banaae.nge nayyaa, DITTO DITTO Rafi and zoharaa and shamshaad kul kalank: Topii vaale baabuu ne dil chhiinaa re, allaa rakkhaa qureshii, ruupabaanii, Rafi and amiirbaaii lailaa majanuun: teraa jalavaa jisane dekhaa, gobind raam, tanaviir naqavii, Rafi and baatish and chorus sharabatii aa.Nkhe.n: pyaar karanaa hii pa.Degaa ek din, firoz nizaamii, panDit indra, Rafi solo DITTO bahut muKtasar hai hamaarii kahaanii, DITTO tanaviir naqavii, Rafi solo DITTO ab naa biin bajaa snehii, DITTO panDit indra, Rafi solo village girl: mai.n kheto.n kaa panchhii, shyamm sundar, valii saahib, Rafi and durraanii and chorus ziinat: haay re duniyaa, jhuuThon kaa darabaar, hafiiz Kaa.N, not known, Rafi solo -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1946 (9 solos, 11 female duets, 4 with chorus = 24) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- amar raaj: to.Do to.Do to.Do dil ke taar, firoz nizaami, panDit faanii, Rafi solo DITTO praaN tyaag kar tuune diivaanii, DITTO DITTO Rafi solo DITTO mai.n jab chhe.Duun prem taraanaa, DITTO DITTO Rafi and mohanataaraa talapaDe anamol gha.Dii: teraa khilonaa TuuTaa baalak, naushaad, tanaviir naqavii, Rafi solo insaaf: ruukhii suukhii mai.n khaa luungii, hari prasann daas, d. n. madhok, Rafi and hamiidaa baano meraa giit: jaake parades piyaa bhuul naa jaanaa, unknown, ramesh guptaa, Rafi solo DITTO meraa svapan ba.Daa suhaanaa, DITTO DITTO Rafi solo rangabhuumii: suue manzil ba.Dhaaye chalaa chal, premnaath (not the actor), panDit faanii, Rafi and chorus DITTO Kud samajh lo ki iltazaa kyaa hai, DITTO aarzuu laKanavii, Rafi and shamashaad DITTO aag lagii tan man dhan sab me.n, DITTO DITTO Rafi and shamashaad DITTO jo aage ba.Dhe usako piichhe haTaa de, DITTO panDit faani, Rafi and shamashaad rasiilii: yah nayan kyo.n sharmaa gaye, hanumaan prasaad, gaafil haranaalavii, Rafi and shamashaad DITTO dil mujhako jalaataa hai mai.n dil ko jalaatii huu.N, DITTO hanumaan prasaad, Rafi and shamashaad room number 9: rahe to kaise rahe, dil pe iKatyaar mujhe, rashiid atre, naKashab jaaraachavii, Rafi solo ruupaa: baalaa jobanavaa sambhaalaa naa jaaye, gobind raam, unknown, Rafi and shamashaad DITTO vatan kii amaanat merii zindagii hai, DITTO DITTO Rafi and shamashaad and chorus safar: ab vo hamaare ho gaye, iqaraar kare.n yaa naa kare.n, c. raamachandra, g. s. nepaalii, Rafi solo DITTO kah ke bhii naa aae tum, ab chhupane lage taare, DITTO DITTO Rafi solo sassii punnuu: aashiqo.n kaa qaafilaa, gobind raam, i. c. kapuur, Rafi and durraanii and chorus shaahajahaa.N: mere sapano.n kii raanii, naushaad, majaruuh, Rafi and saigal and chorus sonaa chaa.Ndii: daataa jii teraa bhed naa paayaa, tufail faaruuqii, shamiim, Rafi solo DITTO ab ke bhagavaan dayaa kare.nge, DITTO valii saahib, Rafi and shmashaad DITTO baiThe hai.n tere dar pe kuchh kara ke uThenge, DITTO DITTO Rafi and shamashaad DITTO man kii suunii nagariyaa suhaanii banii, DITTO DITTO Rafi and amiirbaaii -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment: The qavaalii from lailaa majanuu.n is considered to be his first recorded song in a hindii movie by the authorities I have always found to be the most accurate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of the info comes from the following: "The Encyclopaedia of Hindi Film Songs," vol.
