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

مرے مالِک نے میرے حق میں یہ احسان کیا ہے
خاکِ ناچیز تھا سو مجھے انسان کیا ہے

मेरे मालिक ने मेरे हक़ में ये एहसान किया है
ख़ाक-ए-नाचीज़ था, सो मुझे इंसान किया है

mairai malik nai mairai haq maiN yeh aiHasan kiya hai
Khak -e- nacheez tha so mujhai insane kiya hai
