jab tak gham-e-jahan ke hawale hue nahin
jab tak ġham-e-jahāñ ke havāle hue nahīñ
ham zindagī ke jānñe vaale hue nahīñ
kahtā hai āftāb zarā dekhnā ki ham
Duube the gahrī raat meñ kaale hue nahīñ
chalte ho siina taan ke dhartī pe kis liye
tum āsmāñ to sar pe sambhāle hue nahīñ
anmol vo guhar haiñ jahāñ kī nigāh meñ
dariyā kī jo tahoñ se nikāle hue nahīñ
tai kī hai ham ne sūrat-e-mahtāb rāh-e-shab
tūl-e-safar se paañv meñ chhāle hue nahīñ
Das leñ to un ke zahr kā āsān hai utaar
ye saañp āstīn ke paale hue nahīñ
teshe kā kaam resha-e-gul se liyā 'shakeb'
ham se pahāḌ kāTne vaale hue nahīñ
jab tak gham-e-jahan ke hawale hue nahin
hum zindagi ke jaanne wale hue nahin
kahta hai aaftab zara dekhna ki hum
Dube the gahri raat mein kale hue nahin
chalte ho sina tan ke dharti pe kis liye
tum aasman to sar pe sambhaale hue nahin
anmol wo guhar hain jahan ki nigah mein
dariya ki jo tahon se nikale hue nahin
tai ki hai hum ne surat-e-mahtab rah-e-shab
tul-e-safar se panw mein chhaale hue nahin
Das len to un ke zahr ka aasan hai utar
ye sanp aastin ke pale hue nahin
teshe ka kaam resha-e-gul se liya 'shakeb'
hum se pahaD kaTne wale hue nahin
