On his beginning anniversary, listed here are our 15 favourite tracks composed by the maestro:
Tumse Milke
Aap Ki Aankhon Mein Kuch
Aanewala Pal Janewala Hai
Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi
O Mere Dil Ke Chain
Humen Tumse Pyar Kitna
Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si
Kya Hua Tera Waada
Pyaar Diwaana Hota Hai
Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko
Pyar Hua Chupke Se
Tumne Mujhe Dekha Hokar Mehrbaan
Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai
Sanam Teri Kasam
Dilbar Mere
