ek tufan ka saman bani hai koi chiz

ek tūfān kā sāmān banī hai koī chiiz

aisā lagtā hai kahīñ chhūT ga.ī hai koī chiiz

sab ko ik saath bahā.e liye jaatā hai ye sail

vo talātum hai ki achchhī na burī hai koī chiiz

ek maiñ kyā ki mah o saal uḌe jaate haiñ

ai havā tujh se zamāne meñ bachī hai koī chiiz

ishq ne ḳhud ruḳh-e-gulnār ko baḳhshā hai faroġh

varna kab apne banā.e se banī hai koī chiiz

yaanī zaḳhmoñ ke gulistāñ pe bahār aa ga.ī phir

yaanī ab bhī mirī āshufta-sarī hai koī chiiz

shā.irī kyā hai mujhe bhī nahīñ mālūm magar

log kahte haiñ ki ye dil kī lagī hai koī chiiz

ek tufan ka saman bani hai koi chiz

aisa lagta hai kahin chhuT gai hai koi chiz

sab ko ek sath bahae liye jata hai ye sail

wo talatum hai ki achchhi na buri hai koi chiz

ek main kya ki mah o sal uDe jate hain

ai hawa tujh se zamane mein bachi hai koi chiz

ishq ne KHud ruKH-e-gulnar ko baKHsha hai farogh

warna kab apne banae se bani hai koi chiz

yani zaKHmon ke gulistan pe bahaar aa gai phir

yani ab bhi meri aashufta-sari hai koi chiz

shairi kya hai mujhe bhi nahin malum magar

log kahte hain ki ye dil ki lagi hai koi chiz
