tu kahan ye bataa

Nostalgic

A pertinent song in memory of the great maestro, Mohd. Rafi on his birth anniversary or just birthday because he still lives in our hearts ,our souls embalmed each time by his soothing songs, feeling rejuvenated with a 'yahoo...' ,

mischeivous on 'choo lene do naazuk hothon ko...', 

poetic while chanting 'tasveer teri dil mein..', 

romantic and playful with 'isharon isharon mein..' ,

 the sombre 'aaj purani raahon se..'  , 

childish at the tune of  'chanda ko dhundne saare taare..'

or patriotic with jinhein naaz hai hind par..'. 

For each mood, taste, occasion, there are many to suit the purpose. 

Many many happy returns of the day :-)

tu kahan
tu kahan ye bataa
is nasheeli raat mein
maane na mera dil deewaana
haay haay maane na mera dil deewaana
