It has been the toughest thing to do, but here are my top 10 favourite songs, penned by Gulzar Saab.
"Yeh Soch Ke Baithi Hoon,
Ik Raah Toh Woh Hogi,
Tum Tak Pahunchti Hai,
Iss Mod Se Jaati Hai"
"Kitane saahil dhundhe, koi n saamane aya
Jab majhadhaar men dube, saahil thaamane aya
Tum ne saahil pahale bichhaaya hota"
"Do chaar maheen se lamhon mein
Umron ke hisaab bhi hothe hain"
"waqt salo ki dhundh se nikal jayega
tera chehara nazar se pighal jayega
aankh band hogi to nind aa jayegi
rat ye bhi gujhar jayegi rat ye bhi guzar jayegi"

"Taash ke patto pe ladati hai kabhi kabhi khel me mujhase
Aur kabhi ladati bhi hai aise ke bas khel rahi hai mujhse"

I absolutely love this song. So underrated.
"Chota sa saaya tha,
Aankhon main aaya tha,
Humne to boondon se man bhar liya"

Ilaiyaraaja and Gulzar. Does it get any better than this?

"Ye kaisi sarahaden ulajhi hui hain pairo men
Ham apane ghar ki taraf uthh ke baar baar chale"

Beautifully, most beautifully sung by Jagjit Singh.
What is a Gulzar saab celebration without Kajra re!

"Surmain Se Likhe Tere Wade,
Aankhon Ki Jabani Aate Hain
Mere Rumalo Pe Lab Tere,
Bandh Ke Nishani Jaate Hain"
"Piya tora kaisa abhimaan,
Saghan saawan laayi, Kadam bahaar,
Mathura se doli laaye, chaaron kahaar
Nahi aaaye, Nahi aaaye
Kesariyaa balamaa hamaar"
"Yaad hai peepal ke jiske ghane saaye the,
Hum ne gilehri jhoothe matter khaaye the,
Yeh barqat unn hazrat ki hai."

Only Gulzar saab could've written this. Only him.
And this had to mentioned, only because I love this song so much.

"Ajeeb Hai Yeh Zindaagi
Yeh Zindagi Ajeeb Hai
Mein Samjha Tha Kareeeb Hai
Yeh Aur Ka Naseeb Hai"

I absolutely love it. It has all tropes, and sung so well by Sonu Nigam.
And now I end it, I must.

"Yeh jism hai kachchi mitti ka
Bhar jaaye toh risne lagta hai
Baahon mein koi thamae toh
Aagosh mein girne lagtaa hai"
Since most of you are saying Mera Kuch Saman, I prefer this song to that from the same movie.

"Tumne to aakash bichhaya
Mere nange pairon
Mein zameen hain
Pa ke bhi tumhari aarzoo ho
Ho shayad aisi
Zindagi haseen hain"
