Actually, "both" are not right.  Only "Kaamoshii" is correct (in ITRANS).
That is to say, the dot below the kh is imperative, not optional.

No offence, but to my ears, saying "*kh*aamoshi" is like reading George
as "gorj" instead of "jorj". :)

tanahaa_ii.

Actually, Kishore sings it as "chhuTii".  Here, both *are* correct,
but I'd go with what was sung.

No.  "kisakii" is just fine when writing in Nagari.
