Lag Raha Hai Abb Kyu Aise
Ek Kami Hai Teri Jeene Mein
Yeh Khayal Aaya Hai Kaise
Tu Jo Chale ..Chalun
Tu Jo Ruke ... Rukun
Yeh Silsila Bata Hua Hai Kaise
O Hoo Oh Ho O Hoo
Karle Mera Tu Yakin Yeh Sach Hai
Har Khushi Meri Hai Tujhse
Tu Nahi To Pass Mere Kya Hia
Door Tu Hona Na Mujhse
Meri Nazar Mein Tu
Reh Guzar Mein Tu
Shaamoseher Mein Tu
Tujhe Juda Bhala Karu To Kaise
O Ho O Ho O Hoo Hoo O
Ho Sake To Yeh Bata
Lag Raha Hai Ab Kyun Aise
Jo Bhi Ab Tak Hai Jeeya
Bewaajah Sa Tha To Jaise
Ek Dil Nazarana
Ho Oo Ho
Meri Tu Ban Jana
Hooo Hooo
Door Tu Na Jana
Sun Le Meri Yeh Iltaja
Hooo Hooo
Ab Tu Mujhse Jud Gaya Hai Jaise
Seene Se Dhadkan Ho Jaise
O Hoo
Ek Kami Hai Teri Hi Jeene Main
Yeh Khayal Aaya Hai Kaise
Tu Jo Chale ..Chalun
Tu Jo Ruke ... Rukun
Yeh Ho Raha Hai Kyun
Yeh Silsila Bata Hua Hai Kaise
O Hoo Oh Ho O Hoo
