ek ek pal mein suno sainkaDon gham kaTte hain
ek ik pal meñ suno saiñkaḌoñ ġham kāTte haiñ
zindagī kaTtī kahāñ hai use ham kāTte haiñ
mil ke rahte haiñ vatan meñ sabhī ham-sā.e magar
is mohabbat ko siyāsat ke udham kāTte haiñ
gulshan-e-dahr ke har gul se mahaktā gulshan

ek ek pal mein suno sainkaDon gham kaTte hain
zindagi kaTti kahan hai use hum kaTte hain
mil ke rahte hain watan mein sabhi ham-sae magar
is mohabbat ko siyasat ke udham kaTte hain
gulshan-e-dahr ke har gul se mahakta gulshan
mil ke hum aaiye nafrat ke alam kaTte hain
aalam-e-hijr mein hain wasl ki yaadon ke charagh
inhin yaadon se tere hijr ka gham kaTte hain
hum ne jo ki thi wafa wo hi wafa jurm hui
dekhiye is ki saza kitne janam kaTte hain
pak rakkha hai taKHayyul ko ibaadat ki tarah
itni jiddat se tabhi sher ka zam kaTte hain
umr guzri hai 'shahab' apni jafaon ke tain
dil ko rah rah ke jafaon ke sitam kaTte hain
