In the midseventies, Nayyara had recorded a lot of geet, and ghazals for Arshad Mehmud for Pakistan television program, 'Such gup', and 'Taal matol'.

Probably, Nayyara's ascent from a textile designer to a reputed singer was propelled more by her own curiosity than ambition.

It seemed that she was perfectly poised for the ghazal below:

'Aye jazbaedil gar mein chahoon her cheese muqabil Aaja ye, manzil kay liye do gaam chaloon aur saamnay manzil Aaja ye'. Poet, Bhehzad Lucknavi, originally recorded in the voice of a female Indian singer, for the Indian film 'Anjuman', 1948, and pictured on Indian actress, Nargis.

Rerecorded in Nayyara's voice for Pakistan television's music program, 'Sukhanwar'.
