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

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

میں جب سے چلا ہوں میری منزل پہ نظر ہے
آنکھوں نے مری مِیل کا پتّھر نہیں دیکھا

मैं जब से चला हूँ मेरी मंज़िल पे नज़र है
आँखों ने मिरी मील का पत्थर नहीं देखा

Mein jab se chala hun meri manzil pe nazar he
AKhoon neh meri meel ka paththar nehi dehkha

~ Basheer Badr ~
