  ek thaa gul aur ek thee bulbul donon chaman mein rahate the
hai ye kahaanee bilkul sachchee, mere naanaa kahate the
bulbul kuchh aise gaatee thee
aise gaatee thee
aise gaatee thee
nanda-kaise gaatee thee
bulbul kuchh aise gaatee thee,
jaise tum baatein karatee ho
wo gul aise sharamaataa thaa,
aise sharamaataa thaa
aise sharamaataa thaa
nanda-kaise sharamaataa thaa
wo gul aise sharamaataa thaa
jaise main ghabaraa jaataa hoo
bulbul ko maaloom naheen thaa,
gul aise kyon 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
aise kitane din chhoopatee hain
ye wo kaliyaan hain jo ek din
bas kaante ban ke chubhatee hain
ek din jaan liyaa bulbul ne,
wo gul us kaa diwaanaa hai
tum ko pasand aayaa ho to boloo,
phir aage jo afasaanaa hai
nanda-bolo na chup kyon ho gaye
ek duje kaa ho jaane par, wo donon majaboor huye
un dono ke pyaar ke kisse, gulashan mein mashahoor huye
saath jiyenge, saath marenge, wo dono ye kahate the
nanda-phir kya hua
phir ek din kee baat sunaaoo,
ek sayyaad chaman mein aayaa
le gayaa wo bulbul ko pakad ke,
aur diwaanaa gul murjhaayaa
shaayar log bayaan karate hain,
aise unkee judaayee kee baatein
gaate the ye geet wo donon,
saiyyaa beenaa naheen katatee raate
mast bahaaron kaa mausam thaa,
aankh se aansoo bahate the
aatee thee aawaaj humeshaa,
ye jhilmil jhilmil taaron se
jisakaa naam mohabbat hai wo
kab rukatee hain diwaaron se
ek din aah gul-o-bulbul kee
us pinjare se jaa takaraayee
tootaa pinjaraa, chhootaa kaidee,
detaa rahaa saiyyaad duhaayee
rok sake naa usko milake, saaraa zamaanaa, saaree khudaayee
gul saajan ko geet sunaane, bulbul baag mein waapas aayee
Nanda-raja bahut achchhi kahanee hai
yaad sadaa rakhanaa ye kahaanee, chaahe jeenaa, chaahe maranaa
tum bhee kisee se pyaar karo to, pyaar gula-o-bulabul saa karanaa
