Top 10 of Naushad

  1. Tere pyar mein dildar, hain jo mera hal-e-ijharr (Mere Mehboob)

  5. Milte hi ankhe dil hua divaana kisi ka (babul)

  6. Tora man bada papi sawaria re (Ganga Jamuna)

  7. Man tadpat hari darsan ko aaj (baiju bawara)

8)Nagari nagari dware dware (Mother India)

  2. Aaj purani rahon se koi muzhe aawaz na de (Aadami)

I have not added Pakeezah songs since music is not by Naushad alone. Notables of Naushad have been blockbusters like ‘Mother India’, "Mughal-e-azam’, ‘Ganga Jamuna’, ‘Baiju Bawara’, ‘Ram aur shyam’, ‘Shahjahan’ (Saigal’s ‘jab dil hi toot gaya’ is in this movie’) ‘anmol ghadi’ (Noor Jehan’s ‘aawaz de kahan hain’) , Andaz etc…

Naushad remained confined to Hindustani classical and folk music of Uttar Pradesh and did not experiment in other directions. But a legend in his own right nonetheless.
