More Makhdoom Baaje Madhur Bansuri Tore Goolar Ki Chhaiyaan Tale
Dheere Dheere Pawan, Naacho Hai Mora Mann, Jaise Nadiya Mein Naiya Chale
Aaj Sapno Ki Nagri Mein Kho Jaaungi, Aaj Makhdoom Saabir Ki Ho Jaaungi
More Haathan Ki Mehndi Agan Roop, Jaise Shaam Mein Sooraj Dhale
Tore Angna Mein Rangna Chadhi Jaat Hai, More Makhdoom Sabir Ki Kya Baat Hai
Khawaja Ganj-e-Shakhar Ki Karamaat Hai, Saiyaan Makhdoom Phoole Phale
Kaau Maalak Hai Aur Kaau Mohtaaj Hai, Ek Dukhiya Ki Saabir Tohe Laaj Hai
Keejo Kirpa Najariya Maharaaj Ho, Tore Dwaaran Pe Laakhon Pal
