I have gone through the earlier reviews( by 2 members) about this highly talented Music director and each member has chosen his best songs according to his liking. In fact it is really difficult to select which are the best 10 among the innumerable hit compositions made by him. The following are my personal choice according to popularity and hummability of the songs, which means I am not including his classical compositions.
1.Mere Nindon Mein Tum, Mere Khwabon mein Tum – Naya Andaz( Kishore, Samshad Begum)- an out & out melody which one can repeatedly hear 10 times and still yearn for more.
2.Pyar par bas to nahin hai mera lekin phirbhi…- Sone Ki Chidiya( Talat Mahmood and Asha Bhosle)- another soft romantic song.
3.Aayeeye Mehruban, Baithiye Jane jaan… Howrah Bridge( Asha Bhosle)- Sensual romantic invitation
4.Aankhon hi ankhon mein ishara ho gaya, Baith Baith jeene ka sahara ho gaya – C.I.D.( Rafi, Geeta Dutt) – Romantic rhythmic song
5.Eloji Haari Piya hui teri jeet re… Aar Paar( Geeta Dutt)
6.Piya Piya Na lage mera jiya .- Phagun( Asha Bhosle)
7.Reshmi Salwar Kurta Jaalika. – Naya Daur( Asha, Samshad Begum) – The famous Punjabi Folk song
8.Mein Pyaar Ka Rahi Hoon. Ek Musafir ek Hasina( Rafi, Asha)
9.Diwana Hua badal . Kashmir Ki Kali(Rafi, Asha)
10.Sarpe Topi Lal, Haath mein Resham Ka Rumal, Oh tera kya kehna. Tumsa Nahin Dekha( Rafi, Asha)
The other notable songs( not in order of merit) are:
