Rafi’s only song was superb

If you rearrange the letters in the word fair, what you get is the name of the singer, Mohammed Rafi.

But by no means would it be incorrect to state that it was un‘fair’ that the legendary crooner sang just one song in Mela, which released in 1948.

The track, which was composed by Shakeel Badayuni, was titled Yeh Zindagi Ke Mele.

Naushad Ali composed the song, which bore testimony to Rafi’s versatility – it was picturised on a wandering mendicant, and not on the film’s leading man, Dilip Kumar (for whom Mukesh Chand Mathur sang).
