Jab Samne Tum Aa Jate Ho
Teri Fariyad
Hothon Se Chhulo Tum
Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti
Koi Faroiyaad Tum Bin
Ek Pyar Ka Nagma Hai
Ye Jo Zindagi Ki Kitaab Hai
Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar
Chithi Na Koi Sandesh
Pyaar Ka Pehla Khat
Us Mod Se Shuroo Karen
Aap Ko Dekh Kar Dekhta Reh Gaya
Tere Aane Ki Jab Khabar Mehke
Agar Hum Kahen Aur Woh Muskura Den
Tera Chehra Hai Aaina
Shayad Main Zindagi Ki Sahar
Zindagi Kya Hai
Har Ek Baat Pe Kehte Ho Tum
Main Nashe Mein Hoon
Badi Nazuk Hai Ye Manzil
Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti
Tum Ko Dekha Toh Ye Khayal
Mujhse Bichhad Ke Khush Rehte Ho
Ek Purana Mausam Lauta
Tere Baare Mein Jab Socha Nahin Tha
Dil-E-Nadan Tujhe Hua Kya
Yaad Nahin Kya Kya Dekha Tha
Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho

It seems intuitive that grabbing attention, securing interviews, and gracing magazine covers would translate into album sales and packed concert venues.
