As a child I was affected by his blatantly sentimental songs in his films - not that I mind. I love poignant stuff and I unashamedly enjoy nostalgia.
Three songs that stand out for me from his movies are:
1) Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi from the film "Kranti"
2) Main Na Bhoolunga from the film "Roti Kapada Aur Makaan"
3) Haye Haye Yeh Majboori from the film "Roti Kapada Aur Makaan"
The third song is not expressly sad in the despair sense but there's a certain melancholic feel to it and I expressly like melancholia too.
