خودی کی پرورش و تربیت پہ ہے موقوفکہ مشت خاک میں پیدا ہو آتش ہمہ سوز

Khudi Ki Parwarish-o-Tarbiat Pe Hai MoqoofKe Musht-e-Khak Mein Paida Ho Atish-e-Hama Souz

If self is bred with perfect care, Such force and strength it can acquireThat handful dust of man with ease, Can set untruths and wrongs afire.

یہی ہے سر کلیمی ہر اک زمانے میںہوائے دشت و شعیب و شبانی شب و روز!

Yei Hai Sirr-e-Kaleemi Har Ek Zamane MeinHawaye Dast-o-Shoaib-o-Shabani-e-Shab-o-Roz

This is the mystery we ascribe, To Moses in every age and clime:He tended the sheep in wilds and learnt, From Shoaib to toil and mode sublime.
