This song has a unique power and style, and is from the film “Cha Cha Cha” (1964) which featured Helen, Chandrashekhar and Om Prakash. The music was by Iqbal Querishi and lyrics were by Neeraj. What lovely music composition and outstanding lyrics! Another beautiful song from the same film is “subah na aayee, shaam na aayee”.

LYRICS (jhunkar.com):

wo hum na the
wo tum na the
wo hum na the

wo rehguzar thi pyaar ki (rehguzar=path, road)
luti jahaan pe bewajah (jahaan=world; bewajah=without reason)
paalki bahaar ki (paalki=palanquin)

wo hum na the
wo tum na the
(1) ye khel tha naseeb ka
ye khel tha naseeb ka
na has sake na ro sake
na toor par pahunch sake (Toor=Mount Sinai)
na daar par hi so sake
kahaani kisse ye kahen
kahaani kisse ye kahen
chhaadaav ki uthaar ki
luti jahaan pe bewajah
palki bahaar ki
palki bahaar ki
wo hum na the
wo tum na the
(2) tum hi the mere rehnuma (rehnuma=guide)
tum hi the mere humsafar (humsafar=fellow traveler)
tum hi the meri roshni
tum hi ne mujhko di nazar
di nazar
bina tumhare zindagi
bina tumhare zindagi
shamaa hai ik mazaar ki (shamaa=lamp, mazaar=tomb)
luti jahaan pe bewajah
paalki bahaar ki
paalki bahaar ki
wo hum na the
wo tum na the

falak nahi zameen nahi (falak=wooden seat)

ke ghum nahi khushi nahi
kahaan ye le ke aa gayi
kahaan ye le ke aa gayi
hawa tere dayaar ki (dayaar=around)
luti jahaan pe bewajah
paalki bahaar ki
paalki bahaar ki
wo hum na the
wo tum na the
(4) guzar rahi hai tumpe kya
bana ke hum ko dar badar (dar badar=door to door)
ye soch kar udaas hoon
ye soch kar hai chasmtar (chashmetar=wet eyes)
chasmtar
na chot hai ye phool ki
na chot hai ye phool ki
na hai khalish ye khaar ki (khalish=prick, khaar=thorn)
luti jahaan pe bewajah
paalki bahaar ki
paalki bahaar ki
paalki bahaar ki
paalki bahaar ki
