Ulajhta Rahoon, Jhulasta Rahuin
Teri Chahat Mein Main Jaluin
Main Jinay Ki Khwaish Mein Marrta Rahuin
Yeh Kaisi Sanak Yeh Main Karta Huin Kyun
Ishq Tere Jalwe Har Pehar Dil Mein Balwe 2
Yeh Sanak Fitraton Mein Basi Hai Kahin
Raat Ko Jugnuon Ki Bhanak Bhi Nahi
Andhiare Hi Raas Aate Unhe
Ishq Tere Jalwe Har Pehar Dil Mein Balwe 2
Goom Soom Kabhi Thaamo Na Haath
Do Pal Toh Sang Sang Chalo
Ek Rah Ke, Ek Mod Par Khwaabon Ki Tarah Milo
Raahein Toh Hain Sabki Juda
Tum Apni Raah Par Chalo
Haathon Mein Haath Aacha Hai Khwaab
Khwaabon Se Baahar Milo
Ishq Tere Jalwe Har Pehar Dil Mein Balwe 2
Jo Bhi Kiya Kum Hi Kiya Karne Ko Kitna Hai Baki
Gum Ke Sheher Mein Tanha Phirun Kuch Toh Khabar Lo Yahan Ki
Khud Ke Liye Sab Hai Kiya Phir Kyun Hai Etni Udaasi
Humne Bhi Toh Chun Li Hai Khud Khwaahish Ki Raahein Dhua Si
Ishq Tere Jalwe Har Pehar Dil Mein Balwe 2
Yeh Sanak Fitraton Mein Basi Hai Kahin
Raat Ko Jugnuon Ki Bhanak Bhi Nahin
Andhiyaare Hi Raas Aate Unhe
Ishq Tere Jalwe Har Pehar Dil Mein Balwe 2
