Popular in the late 80's, Hassan Jahangir, is a Pakistani Pop singer, who likes to mix Paki-Indian music styles. Most of his songs depict the North Indian Culture.I grew up listening to this talented artist. Everyday when I would go swimming to RSI in Pune, the Hawa Hawa tape would be in the car deck, and off we went. All four of us, knew the lyrics by-heart. Those were the days.
Tonight, I decided to listen to hindi songs (a rarity). One of Hassan's songs was used in the Hindi movie, Don. That song, lifted from the movie, is the modified version. Thus, initiated of my quest for Jahangir's "Hawa Hawa" in its original form.
One search on google for "Hawa Hawa" returned an interesting match of an online desi radio/jukebox. It was exciting to see all the songs of the album listed, with a choice to play them. It sure was music to my ears. PRESS PLAY ON TAPE > DONE !!
That wasn't enough; it's never enough. Google.com is always there to help. And I dived into this site:

I spent quite some time downloading MP3s !!
I am a happy man, now.
