zindagī kyā hai anāsir meñ zuhūr-e-tartīb

maut kyā hai inhīñ ajzā kā pareshāñ honā

zindagi kya hai anasir mein zuhur-e-tartib

maut kya hai inhin ajza ka pareshan hona

agar dard-e-mohabbat se na insāñ āshnā hotā

na kuchh marne kā ġham hotā na jiine kā mazā hotā

agar dard-e-mohabbat se na insan aashna hota

na kuchh marne ka gham hota na jine ka maza hota

adab ta.alīm kā jauhar hai zevar hai javānī kā

vahī shāgird haiñ jo ḳhidmat-e-ustād karte haiñ

adab talim ka jauhar hai zewar hai jawani ka

wahi shagird hain jo KHidmat-e-ustad karte hain

ik silsila havas kā hai insāñ kī zindagī

is ek musht-e-ḳhāk ko ġham do-jahāñ ke haiñ

ek silsila hawas ka hai insan ki zindagi

is ek musht-e-KHak ko gham do-jahan ke hain

vatan kī ḳhaak se mar kar bhī ham ko uns baaqī hai

mazā dāmān-e-mādar kā hai is miTTī ke dāman meñ

watan ki KHak se mar kar bhi hum ko uns baqi hai

maza daman-e-madar ka hai is miTTi ke daman mein
