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

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

ہمیں سے رنگ ِ گلستاں ہمیں سے رنگ ِ بہار
ہمیں کو نظم ِ گلستاں پہ اختیار نہیں

हमीं से रंग-ए-गुलिसताँ, हमीं से रंग-ए-बहार
हमीं को नज़म-ए-गुलिसताँ पे इख़तियार नहीं

hameeN sai rang-e-gulistaN hameeN sai rang-e-bahar
hameeN ko nazm-e-gulistaN pai iKhtiyar nahi

~ Sahir Ludhianvi ~
