gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
chehron pe khak dhul ke ponchhe hue nishan

tu aur rang-e-ghaza-o-gulguna-o-shahab
socha bhi kis ke khun ki banti hain surkhiyan

gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
maile phate libas hain mahrum-e-shast-o-shu

tu aur itr o ambar o mushk o abir o ud
mazdur ke bhi khun ki aati hai is mein bu

gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
tan dhankne ko thik se kapda nahin hai pas

tu aur harir o atlas o kam-khwab o parniyan
chubhta nahin badan pe tere reshmi libas

gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
chandi ka koi ganjh na sone ka koi tar

tu aur haikal-e-zar o aaweza-e-guhar
sine pe koi dam bhi dhadakta hai tera haar

gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
sadiyon se har nigah hai faqon ki rahguzar

tu aur ziyafaton mein ba-sad-naz jalwa-gar
kis ke lahu se garm hai ye mez ki bahaar

gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
tarik maqbaron se makan in ke kam nahin

tu aur zeb-o-zinat-e-alwan-e-zar-nigar
kya tere qasr-e-naz ki hilti nahin zamin

gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
mehnat hi un ka saz hai mehnat hi un ka rag

tu aur shughl-e-ramish-o-raqs-o-rabab-o-rang
kya tere saz mein bhi dahakti hai koi aag

gulnar dekhti hain ye mazdur aurten
mehnat pe apne pet se majbur aurten
