Chitti Aayi Hai

Jeeye Toh Jeeye Kaise

Chupke Chupke

Aur Aahista Kijiye Baatein

Na Kajre Ki Dhar

Aap Jinke Kareeb Hote Hain

Woh Ladki Yaad aati Hai

Gungroo toot gaye

Chandni raat mein

ek Taraf Uska ghar

Chandi Jaise Rang

Thodi thodi Piya Karo

Maikhane Se sharaab Se

Deewaron se milkar rona achcha lagta hai
