جو سیکھو کسی کو سکھاتے چلو   -    دِیے سے دِیے کو جلاتے چلو

What you learn, teach to others — Light a flame, one from another

انداز ہُو بہو تیری آواز ِ پا کا تھا
دیکھا نکل کے گھر سے تو جھونکا ہوا کا تھا

अंदाज़ हूबहू तेरी आवाज़-ए-पा का था
देखा निकल के घर से तो झोंका हवा का था

undaz hu bahu tairi aawaz-e-pa ka tha
daikha nikal kai ghar sai to jhonka hawa ka tha

~ Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi ~
