outlook india polled many music industry veterans fortheir choices of all-time best hindi songs. as I was reading it, I picked my choices. some I admit I never heard, so list may be incomplete. if u wanna read this article gotohttps://outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20060626&fname=ABestSongs&sid=2

there’s more I remember, but they are seldom heard, but take over your brain when you are hearing it. i’ll be humming all day unable to stop.
the Pehla Nasha song from Jo Jeeta Woh SIkandar.
Roz roz aakhon tale, ek hi sapna chale from Jeeva
Rim Jhim gire saawan, sulag sulag jaaye man
tere bheegi bheegi sipalkon pe rahe gaye
do diwane shahar mein - Gharonda
jaaneman jaaneman tere do nayan
ab ke sajan sawan mein, aag lage jee badan mein
maana ho tum behad hasin, aise bure ham bhi nahin(some Shekar kapur song)
*yaara seeli seeli
main to tum sang nain bhichake har gayi sajna
geet gata chal(some Jeetu flick)
"zindagi thi jab tumhari gham na hoti
saari duniya se hamari kam na hoti"
(ur turn to pick)
(sorry for wrong words-i am more tuned to tune, less to words, sometimes use some word wrong. but I never sing wrong note. so correct me)
there’s so many many many good ones. hope u can remind me of some more. .*
