bahut hi dil-nashin aawaz-e-pa thi

bahut hī dil-nashīñ āvāz-e-pā thī

na jaane tum the yā bād-e-sabā thī

bajā kartī thiiñ kyā shahnā.iyāñ sī

ḳhamoshī bhī hamārī jab navā thī

vo dushman hī sahī yaaro hamārā

par us kī jo adā thī kyā adā thī

sabhī aks apnā apnā dekhte the

hamārī zindagī vo ā.īna thī

chalā jaatā thā hañstā kheltā maiñ

nigāh-e-yār merī rahnumā thī

chalo TuuTī to zanjīr-e-mohabbat

musībat thī qayāmat thī balā thī

na ham badle na tum badle ho lekin

nahīñ jo darmiyāñ vo chiiz kyā thī

mohabbat par udāsī chhā rahī hai

hai kyā anjām aur kyā ibtidā thī

shagūfe phūTte the dil se 'naushād'

ye vaadī pahle kitnī pur-fazā thī

bahut hi dil-nashin aawaz-e-pa thi

na jaane tum the ya baad-e-saba thi

baja karti thin kya shahnaiyan si

KHamoshi bhi hamari jab nawa thi

wo dushman hi sahi yaro hamara

par us ki jo ada thi kya ada thi

sabhi aks apna apna dekhte the

hamari zindagi wo aaina thi

chala jata tha hansta khelta main

nigah-e-yar meri rahnuma thi

chalo TuTi to zanjir-e-mohabbat

musibat thi qayamat thi bala thi

na hum badle na tum badle ho lekin

nahin jo darmiyan wo chiz kya thi

mohabbat par udasi chha rahi hai

hai kya anjam aur kya ibtida thi

shagufe phuTte the dil se 'naushad'

ye wadi pahle kitni pur-faza thi
