yek thaa gul aaur yek thee bulabul  dono chaman mein rahate the
hai ye kahaanee bilakul sachchee, mere naanaa kahate the

bulabul kuchh ayese gaatee thee, jaise tum baate karatee ho
wo gul ayese sharamaataa thaa, jaise main ghabaraa jaataa hoo
bulabul ko maaloom naheen thaa, gul ayese kyo sharamaataa thaa
wo kyaa jaane usakaa nagmaa, gul ke dil ko dhadakaataa thaa
dil ke bhed naa aate lab pe, ye dil mein hee rahate the

lekin aakhir dil kee baate ayese kitane din chhoopatee hai
ye wo kaliyaan hain jo yek din  bas kaante ban ke chubhatee hai
yek dil jaan liyaa bulabul ne, wo gul us kaa diwaanaa hai
tum ko pasand aayaa ho to boloo, fir aage jo afasaanaa hai
yek duje kaa ho jaane par, wo dono majaboor huye
un dono ke pyaar ke kisse, gulashan mein mashahoor huye
saath jiyenge, saath marenge, wo dono ye kahate the

fir yek din kee baat sunaaoo, yek sayyaad chaman mein aayaa
le gayaa wo bulabul ko pakad ke, aaur diwaanaa gul murazaayaa
shaayar log bayaan karate hai, ayese un kee judaayee kee baate
gaate the ye geet wo dono, saiyyaa beenaa naheen katatee raate
mast bahaaron kaa mausam thaa, aankh se aansoo bahate the

aatee thee aawaaj humeshaa, ye zilamil zilamil taaron se
jisakaa naam mohabbat hain wo kab rukatee hain diwaaron se
yek din aah gula-o-bulabul kee us pinjade se jaa takaraayee
tootaa pinjadaa, chhootaa kaidee, detaa rahaa saiyyaad duhaayee
rok sake naa us ko milake, saaraa jamaanaa, saaree khudaayee
gul saajan ko geet sunaane, bulabul baag mein waapas aayee

yaad sadaa rakhanaa ye kahaanee, chaahe jeenaa, chaahe maranaa
tum bhee kisee se pyaar karo to, pyaar gula-o-bulabul saa karanaa
