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

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

گُلشن پرست ہوں مجھے ُگل ہی نہیں عزیز
کانٹوں سے بھی ِنباہ کیے جا رہا ہوں میں

गलुशन परसत हूॅ, मझुे गुल ही नहीं ‘अज़ीज़
काँटों से भी निबाह किये जा रहा हूँ मैं

gulshan parast huN mujhai gul hi nahieN Azeez
kanToN sai bhi nibah kiyae ja raha huN maiN

~ Jigar Muradabadi ~
