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

زندگی کیا کسی مفلس کی قبا ہے جس میں
ہر گھڑی درد کے پیوند لگے رہتے ہیں

ज़िंदगी क्या किसी मुफ़लिस की क़बा है जिस में
हर घड़ी दर्द के पैवंद लगे जाते हैं

zindagi kiya kisi müflis ki qeba hai jis maiN
her ghRhi dard kai paiwand lagay rehtai haiN

~ Faiz Ahmed Faiz ~
