Would like to know from Mehdi Hassan fans their favourite songs. Am typing a list of 20 ghazals/ nazms/geets that are coming to my mind - there may be many many more which I am not able to think of at the moment. Each one is a classic

1 Gulon mein rang bhare baad-e-naubahar chale
2 Zindagi mein to sabhi pyaar kiya karte hain
3 Ranjish hi sahi, dil dukhane ke liye aa
4 Kaise kaise long hamare jee ko jalane aa ja jaate hain
5 Phool hi phool khil uthay hain mere paimaane mein
6 Bhooli bisri chand umeedein chand fasaane yaad aaye
7 Dekhna unka kanankhiyon se
8 Chirag-e-toor jalao bada andhera hai
9 Tu husn ki devi hai
10 Mohabbat karne wale kabhi kam na honge
11 Shola tha jal bujha hoon
12 Komplen phir phoot aayee
13 Ab ke ham bichde to shayad kabhi khwabon mein mile
14 Khuda kare ke mohabbat mein
15 Mujhe tum mazar se gira to rahe ho
16 Tu ne yeh phool jo zulfon mein saja rakha hai
17 Main khayal hoon kisi aur ka, mujhe chahta koi aur hai
18 Rafta rafta woh mere hasti ka saamaan ho gaye
19 Ku-ba-ku phail gayee baat shanasayee ki
20 Kya toota hai andar andar

Then, there is the light classical piece 'Kesariya balam"

Thanks for this thread Narenderji. Absolute classics….
Here is more MH to add to your list :

Guncha-e-shauq laga hai khilne

Jal bhi chuke parwane ho bhi chuki ruswayi

Dekh to dil ke jaan se uthta hai…

Jo thakey thakey se the hausle wo shabab banke machal gaye

Arz-e-niyaze ishq ke kabil nahin raha

Here are some youtube audios of MH singing faiz, Mir
Dil mein ab yun tere bhoole huye gham aate hain


Patta patta boota boota haal hamara jaane hai


The mastreo himself is here singing one of his most famous rendition of a Zafar poem


Ok I am able to post the songs now... weeeeeeee

Yes, some great songs here - of the lot, I haven't heard 'Jo thake thake se' and 'Jal bhi chuke parwane'. But 'Dekh to dil ke jaan' and 'Arz e niyaz' are super. My other favourites are 'Roshan jamaal-e-yaar se hai anjuman tamaam' and 'Faisla unko bhool jaane ka'
