· Few Iconic Songs of Kaviraj Shailendra :
• दिल की नज़र से, नज़रों की दिल से
• आवारा हूँ या गर्दिश में हूँ
• ओ सजना, बरखा बहार आई
• झूमती चली हवा याद आ गया कोई
• मुझे तुम से कुछ भी न चाहिये
• अजीब दास्तां है ये कहाँ शुरू कहाँ खतम
• पिया तोसे नैना लागे रे
• किसी की मुस्कुराहटों पे हो निसार
• आज फिर जीने की तमन्ना है
