I am a hopeless romantic person so my fav will be his few ultra romantic numbers.

1. Chaandni raat mein ek baar tujhe dekha hai (its a duet though)
2. Chand roz aur meri jaan chand roz (Gave it to my GF when we were struggling)
3. Chal Kahin Door Nikal Jayen
4. Yeh Naina Yeh Kajal yea zulfain
5. Aankho aankho Mein,hum tum ho gaye deewane

Since there is no way you can sum up Kishore's voice in any genre. I would like to mention few more songs which if not included will be an injustice to those incredibly romantic songs as well.

6. Kaya yehi pyaar hai, ha yahi pyaar hai
7. Mausam pyaar ka......, rang badalta rahe
8. Lahron Ki Tarah yaaden ....dil se takrati hai
9. Aap ki aakhon mein kuch
10. Hum Apni Wafa Yaad dila bhi nahi sakte

Any one who has ever fallen in love or is in love will swear to these songs ...."Love makes life worth live..."

To conclude, my Kishore top 5 non romantic numbers ...

1. Na Hansna Mere Gham pe (jab dard nahi tha seene mein)
2. Yea jeevan hai iis jeevan ka
3. Kabhi Palkon Pe Aansoo hai
4. Kaha tak ye man ko aandhere .... (Vinay also mentioned that. stellar song)
5. Mere Sung Sung Aaya teri yaadon

Worthy mentions ....... part of a songs really haunting and full of emotions ...

1. Iiske aage ki aab daastan mujh se sun .............(salaame ishq meri jaan)
2. Nasha sharaab mein hota to naachti botal............(Log kehte main sharaabi hun)
3. Are aane ko to rooz hi aate, suraj, chaand, sitare..(Dede pyaar de pyaar de)

[audio_passionate]

Jeevan se bhari teri aankhen majboor kare jeene ke liye
wo sham kuch ajeeb thi..ye sham bhi ajeeb hai
Zindagi ka safar hai ye kaisa safar
Aane wala pal jaane wala hai
Tere chehre se nazar nahi hathi nazare hum kya dekhe

Thank you all for sharing your favourite Kishore kumar songs. I know it is very difficult to narrow down choices from the plethora of this prolific artist but glad that many had a ready list which came to the top of their mind without much thought.

Tu Main Ban gaya Main tu Ban gaya -Aamne Samne
Rahon Pe Rehte Hain - Namkeen
Aa Chal Ke Tujhe - Door Gagan Ki Chaon Mein
