Tu hain mera prem devta -

**Naushad **

Ek shahenshah ne banwa
Ke hasi taajmahal
Saari duniyaa ko
Muhabbat ki nishaani di hai
Isake saaye me sadaa
Pyaar ke charche hoge
Khatm jo ho naa
Sakegi wo kahaani di hai
Ek shahenshah ne
Banwa ke hasi taajmahal (source)

Preetam daras dikhaye

Ghazal - Jagjit Singh

Koi paas aaya savere savere
Mujhe aazma saveere saveere

Mere daastan ko zara sa badalkar
Mujhe hi sunaya savere savere

Jo kehta tha kal sab sambhalna
wohi ladkhadaya savere savere

Kate raat saari meri maikade mein
khuda yaad aaya savere savere
