This song was truly imMoRtal

Indeed, koi Mohammed Rafi ko yun bhula na payega.

That, of course, is a paraphrased line. The original – Tum Mujhe Yun Bhula Na Paoge – was an immortal song from Pagla Kahin Ka.

It was penned by Hasrat Jaipuri and composed by Shankar Jaikishan.

By no means was that a boast, given how popular the legendary crooner continues to be, despite the fact that he died (at the age of 55) on July 31, 1980.

The first line of the said song is emblazoned across Rafi’s memorial in Bandra (West), the Mumbai suburb he called home.
