[Dil To Kehta Hai Woh Apne Hai
Apne Hi Hai]-- (2)
Jinki Jaanib Se Ho Jinki Jaanib Se
Halka Sa Ishaara Bhi Nahin
Koyi Aawaz To Aayi Hain Kahin Se Lekin
Usne Ab Tak To Bhoole Se Pukara Bhi Nahin
Dil To Kehta Hai Woh Apne Hai
Apne Hi Hai
[Raaz Dil Ka To Kabhi Sab Ko Bataya Na Karo
Par Jo Apna Ho Kabhi Us Se Chupaya Na Karo]-- (2)
Hum Ne Jeeta Nahin Ho Hum Ne Jeeta Nahin
Dil Aapne Haara Bhi Nahin
Dil To Kehta Hai Woh Apne Hai
Apne Hi Hai
[Dil To Bas Dil Hain Yeh Sab Ko To Diya Jaata Nahin
Pyaar Sab Se To Zamane Mein Kiya Jaata Nahin]-- (2)
Zor Apna Bhi Ho Zor Apna Bhi
Rahe Dil Pe Tumhara Bhi Nahin
Dil To Kehta Hai Woh Apne Hai
Apne Hi Hai
Jinki Jaanib Se
Halka Sa Ishaara Bhi Nahin
Koyi Aawaz To Aayi Hain Kahin Se Lekin
Usne Ab Tak To Bhoole Se Pukara Bhi Nahin
Dil To Kehta Hai Woh Apne Hai
Apne Hi Hai
Dil To Kehta Hai..
