itna bhi na-umid dil-e-kam-nazar na ho
mumkin nahin ki sham-e-alam ki sahar na ho

disheartened or shortsighted O heart you need not be
this night of sorrow surely will a dawn tomorrow see

achchon ke chhoTe hathon ko chand sitare chhune do
chaar kitaben paDh kar ye bhi hum jaise ho jaenge

let the hands of innocents reach out for stars and moon
with education they'd become like us so very soon

dhup mein niklo ghaTaon mein naha kar dekho
zindagi kya hai kitabon ko haTa kar dekho

dushmani lakh sahi KHatm na kije rishta
dil mile ya na mile hath milate rahiye

enmity however strong, the contact never break
hearts and minds may be apart, the hands must ever shake

ghar se masjid hai bahut dur chalo yun kar len
kisi rote hue bachche ko hansaya jae

the mosques too far so for a while
some weeping child, let us make smile

har ek baat ko chup-chap kyun suna jae
kabhi to hausla kar ke nahin kaha jae

itna sach bol ki honTon ka tabassum na bujhe
raushni KHatm na kar aage andhera hoga
