sharafat chhin leti hai sadaqat chhin leti hai

sharāfat chhīn letī hai sadāqat chhīn letī hai

qalam-kāroñ se ḳhuddārī zarūrat chhīn letī hai

riyā-kārī se bachiye ye bahut zahrīlī nāgin hai

ye nāgin zindagī bhar kī 'ibādat chhīn letī hai

zamāne meñ zarūrī hai bahut tā'līm kā honā

jahālat aadmī se ādmiyyat chhīn letī hai

bharī ho jeb to insāñ nashe meñ chuur rahtā hai

zarā sī tang-dastī sab nazākat chhīn letī hai

agar jannat kī chāhat hai to ḳhidmat shart hai maañ kī

agar maañ ruuTh jaatī hai to jannat chhīn letī hai

jahāñ tak ho sake 'ālam kisī se qarz mat lenā

miyāñ ye qarz-dārī ḳhair-o-barkat chhīn letī hai

sharafat chhin leti hai sadaqat chhin leti hai

qalam-karon se KHuddari zarurat chhin leti hai

riya-kari se bachiye ye bahut zahrili nagin hai

ye nagin zindagi bhar ki 'ibaadat chhin leti hai

zamane mein zaruri hai bahut ta'lim ka hona

jahaalat aadmi se aadmiyyat chhin leti hai

bhari ho jeb to insan nashe mein chur rahta hai

zara si tang-dasti sab nazakat chhin leti hai

agar jannat ki chahat hai to KHidmat shart hai man ki

agar man ruTh jati hai to jannat chhin leti hai

jahan tak ho sake 'alam kisi se qarz mat lena

miyan ye qarz-dari KHair-o-barkat chhin leti hai
