ai shahr-e-sitam-pesha bata kis ko sada dun
ai shahr-e-sitam-pesha batā kis ko sadā duuñ
ab kaun rahā hai jise paiġhām-e-vafā duuñ
shāmil mirī sāñsoñ meñ hai sadiyoñ kī aziyyat
aa gardish-e-daurāñ maiñ tujhe bhī to duā duuñ
ashkoñ ke guhar bhī to nahīñ paas mire ab
maiñ soch rahī huuñ ġham-e-daurāñ tujhe kyā duuñ
Dartī huuñ bikhar jā.egī ḳhākistar-e-jāñ bhī
bujhte hue sho.aloñ maiñ tumheñ kaise havā duuñ
vo log jo sargarm-e-takallum haiñ sar-e-bazm
kaise unheñ ādāb takallum ke sikhā duuñ
ai raat sarāboñ ke sivā kuchh na milegā
maiñ din ke ujāle meñ agar sham.a jalā duuñ
'gulnār' sar-e-shāḳh-e-chaman lāla-o-gul ko
de de vo ijāzat to mahakne kī adā duuñ
ai shahr-e-sitam-pesha bata kis ko sada dun
ab kaun raha hai jise paigham-e-wafa dun
shamil meri sanson mein hai sadiyon ki aziyyat
aa gardish-e-dauran main tujhe bhi to dua dun
ashkon ke guhar bhi to nahin pas mere ab
main soch rahi hun gham-e-dauran tujhe kya dun
Darti hun bikhar jaegi KHakistar-e-jaan bhi
bujhte hue shoalon main tumhein kaise hawa dun
wo log jo sargarm-e-takallum hain sar-e-bazm
kaise unhen aadab takallum ke sikha dun
ai raat sarabon ke siwa kuchh na milega
main din ke ujale mein agar shama jala dun
'gulnar' sar-e-shaKH-e-chaman lala-o-gul ko
de de wo ijazat to mahakne ki ada dun
