I would like to release my video a bit early due to Mohammad Rafi's (famous singer) death anniversary ( 31/07/1980) . He was blessed with a voice/skill and style unique to him (Rafi), which places him amongst one of few singers ever lived nationaly/Internationaly.
I am of the opinion that we will never ever have anyone/anybody like him ' The One and Only ' Mohammad Rafi (bless him).
Coincidently it's the beginning of the Holy month of Fasting (Ramadhan). Therefore, I have chosen 'Hamd' / Poem praising God/Allah (swt) rendered by Rafi. With a prayer that Allah (swt) showers his choicest blessings upon Mr Rafi in the after life and that Allah (swt) rests his soul in eternal peace.
Hamid has added first two lines; Rendered this hymn as well as narrated and translated in English:-
Hum hae.n haqiir banday teray tuu behr-e-baekara.n hai
Ye sub tera karam hai Ya-Rab kae roshan hamaara Jaha.n hai
(Our existence is meager/perishable;You are limitless/bountiful/forever
We owe our life's glory/wellbeing to You O! God The Almighty)
Actual Hamd (Hymn):-
Parvardigaar-e-Aalam teraa hii hai sahaaraa
Teray siwaa jahaa.n mae koee nahii.n hamaaraa
(O! God The Almighty provider of everybody
We wholly solely depend upon thou; Full Stop.)
Nuuh(pbuh) kaa safiinaa tuunae tuufaan se bachaayaa
Duniyaa mae tuu hamaeshaa bando.n kae kaam aayaa
