kitni mehnat se padhate hain hamare ustad
hum ko har ilm sikhate hain hamare ustad

tod dete hain jahaalat ke andheron ka tilism
ilm ki shama jalate hain hamare ustad

manzil-e-ilm ke hum log musafir hain magar
rasta hum ko dikhate hain hamare ustad

zindagi nam hai kanton ke safar ka lekin
rah mein phul bichhate hain hamare ustad

dil mein har lamha taraqqi ki dua karte hain
hum ko aage hi badhate hain hamare ustad

sab ko tahzib-o-tamaddun ka sabaq dete hain
hum ko insan banate hain hamare ustad

hum ko dete hain ba-har-lamha payam-e-talim
achchhi baaten hi batate hain hamare ustad

khud to rahte hain bahut tang-o-pareshan magar
daulat-e-ilm lutate hain hamare ustad

hum pe lazim hai ki hum log karen un ka adab
kis mohabbat se badhate hain hamare ustad
