So friends these were some of my favourite songs written by Gulzar. Problem of selecting songs were mainly which song to select from particular film because for whichever film he has written song, all the songs of the film were sheer poetry and it became very difficult task to select few. Hope you will like my selection.
Awaiting your comments/views/feed back.
