On his birthday today, here is a look at some of the most heart-touching quotes by the maestro:

Lagta hai aaj zindagi kuch khafa hai,

Chaliye choriye, Kaunsi pehli dafa hai

Jab bhi dil ye udaas hota hai,

Jaane kaun aas paas hota hai

Koi waada nahi kiya lekin,

Kyun tera intezaar rehta hai

Kabhi toh chaunk ke dekhe koi humari taraf,

Kisi ki aankh mei humko bhi intezaar dikhe.

Waqt rehta nahi kahi tik kar,

aadat iss ki bhi aadmi si hai.

Kaun kehta hai hum jhooth nahi bolte,

Ek baar khairiyat toh pooch ke dekhiye.

Thoda sukoon bhi dhoondiye janab,

Yeh zarooratein toh kabhi khatam nahi hongi.

Tere bina zindagi se koi

Shiqwa toh nahi

Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin

Zindagi toh nahi

Thoda sa hasaake, thoda sa rulaake

Pal ye bhi jaanewala hai

Here's wishing a very happy birthday to the legend!
