Roshan<\/p><\/div>\n

If I had to pay a tribute to Roshan with the words of his own composition, I would probably choose
\nRahein na rahein hum,
\nmehka karenge\u2026
\nban ke kali, ban ke sabaa,
\nbaag-e-wafaa mein\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

For, this extremely talented music director was at times a kali<\/em> in his compositions, and at others, a sabaa<\/em>; where a kali<\/em> would mean substantiated music, compositions in which you could identify instruments, rhythms, taal, raag<\/em>, et al and sabaa<\/em> where he leaves you with merely a whiff of his magical, musical touch and allows the vocals, the emotions and the poetry to take over, all but silencing himself. Whether he composes with one or the other in mind, he remains from the beginning to the end, loyal to music baag-e-wafa mein<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rahein na rahein hum<\/strong><\/em> (Mamta<\/em>, 1966) Roshan \/ Majrooh Sultanpuri \/ Lata Mangeshkar<\/span><\/p>\n
