Faqr ke hain mojzaat taaj o sareer o sipah
Faqr hai meeroon ka meer, faqr hai shahoon ka shah
“Ilm ka maqsad hai paaki aqal o khirad
Faqr ka maqsad hai iffat e qalb o nigah”
“Ilm faqeeh o hakeem, faqr Maseeh o Kaleem
Ilm hai joya-e-raah, faqr hai dana-e-raah”
“Faqr maqam-e-nazar, ilm maqam-e-khabar
Faqr masti sawaab, ilm mein masti gunaah”
“Ilm ka maujood aur, faqr ka maujood aur
Ash-hadu an la ilah, ash-hadu an la ilah”
“Charhti hai jab faqr ki saan pe tegh-e-khudi
Ek sipahi ki zarb karti hai kaar-e-sipah”
“Dil agar is khaak mein zinda o bedaar ho
Teri nigah tod de aaeena-e-mehr o maah”
