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 حیرت و حسرت کا مارا خاموش کھڑا ہوں ساحل پر
دریا ئے محبت کہتا ہے آ کچھ بھی نہیں پایاب ہوں میں

मैं हैरत-ओ-हसरत का मारा, ख़ामोश खड़ा हूँ साहिल पर
दरिया -ए-मुहब्बत कहता है, आ कुछ भी नहीं पायाब हैं हम

maiN hair-o-Hasrat ka mara khamosh khRa huN sahil per
darya-e-muHabbat kehta hai aA kuch bhi nahi payab haiN hamm

~ Shaad Azeem Aabadi ~
