Janab M.A. Rauf (Raoof) Saheb was a great singer of his times a desciple of Ustad Jhande Khansaheb
(Ustad of Janab Naushad Saheb ), Rauf Saheb gave music in film Tohfa (1947). It was great experience to listen to him live, he sits like a statue just you see his lips moving.
In this GAZAL he was accompanied by Ustad Shaik Dawood on Tabla.
Please up load more ghazals of Arif Rauof, who is best Ghazalist in Barre Sageer.
Thank you

Dear Sir, hope you quite well by the grace of God. I wish to see you blog as i am very much interested to know the details of Raoof saheb. I removed my comment from youtube as therewere some spelling mistakes.

Dear Kampasu, this photo is not of 1938, it might be from late fifties or early sixties.

Dear Sir , Thanks for the rare ghazal . Janab MA Rauf was not a desciple of Ustad Jhande Khan Sahib . He learnt music from his father . The photo belongs to 1938 . He composed many ghazals for Begum Akhtar during her stay in Hyderabad in 1931 . Please upload his Bhajan ' kaaya ka pinjra dole ' which was first rendered in 1931 at a function at Osmania University .

I have had the honour of listening to Rauf Saheb live. He was a great singer of Ghazals.
