Ghulam Ali ghazal superhits of the 80s & 90s

Humko Kisi Ke Gham Ne Maara - Ghulam Ali - Ghazal Songs - Mehfil Mein Baar Baar, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpHpiiPmdRI, 9 min 39 secs. Enjoyed watching the live concert video of this song whose audio I have heard so many times in my Mumbai life. Ghulam Ali sahab is a really gifted Ghazal singer from our neighbouring country, Pakistan.

Another Ghulam Ali ghazal hit song that I heard (audio) umpteen times in my Mumbai days but don't recall seeing a live video of, is the Chupke Chupke Raat Din song of his. I think this was perhaps his most popular song in Mumbai in the 80s and 90s.

Here's Ghulam Ali sahab singing it live to a small group, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bLN85bo48s, around 8 mins.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupke_Chupke_Raat_Din, "Chupke Chupke Raat Din is a popular ghazal written by Maulana Hasrat Mohani. The music composition is based on Raga Kaafi[citation needed]. It is a classical Urdu poem that represents the culture of India during Mughal Dynasty. The poem became famous after it was sung by Ghulam Ali in the film Nikaah (1982)."

And here is its picturisation in Nikaah, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38_AJgdtXm4, 4 min. 45 secs.

My favourite Ghulam Ali sahab song, sung live by him:
Apni dhun mein rehta hoon, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDGQDLFLCKs, 6 min. 30 secs
...

I think it would be inappropriate for me to skip one of Ghulam Ali's biggest hits which I used to enjoy very much in my youth where I used to enjoy a few drinks every once in a while. I stopped that stuff once I turned rather heavily to the spiritual and the religious paths in the early 1990s. Before I give the song link I do feel obliged to mention that I do not, in any way, encourage anybody to drink alcohol.

Hungama hai kyon barpa thodi si jo peeli hain, sung live by Ghulam Ali sahab in  Pakistan,
