Tumsa Nahin Dekha


Dil Deke Dekho

Dheere Chal Dheere

Ehsaan Tera Hoga Mujh Par

Nazar Bachakar Chalegaye

Khuli Palak Mein Jhutha Ghusa

Baar Baar Dekho Hazaar Baar

Govinda Aala Re

Subhaanallah Haseen Chehra

Tumne Kisi Ki Jaan Ko

Meri Mohabbat Jawan Rahegi

Tumne Mujhe Dekha Hokar

Akele Akele Kahan Jaa Rahe

Janam Janam Ka Saath Hein

Badan Pe Sitare Lapete Huein

Tum Mujhe Yun Bula Na Paaoge
