Orchestral Music
Haan Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya
Pyar Se Kab Inkar Kiya
Bheegi Bheegi Raatein Meethi Meethi Baatein
Aur Maine Dil Ko Nisar Kiya
Haan Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya
Pyar Kiya Hai Kaliyon Ke Mehakte Angon Se
Pyar Kiya Maine Gul Ke Gulabi Gaalon Se
Pyar Kiya Nargis Ki Nashili Aankhon Se
Pyar Kiya Badli Ki Rangeeli Zulfon Se
Khuli Chandni Mein Maine Bhi Abhisar Kiya
Haan Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya
Tham Liya Seene Pe Uchhalti Leheron Ko
Jhoom Utha Baahon Mein Pakad Toofano Ko
Choom Liya Bijali Ke Machalte Hothon Ko
Loot Liya Maine Ubharti Baharon Ko
Raat Ki Dulhan Ka Maine Sindoor Kiya
Haan Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya
