Urdu Poetry

Humari Darsgaahoñ mein ye jo ustaad hote hain

Haqeeqat mein yahi toh qaum ki buniyad hote hain

Sunein roodād jab bhi hum kisi ki kamyabi ki

Har ek roodād mein ye markaz-e-roodād hote hain

Yahi rakhte hain shehr-e-ilm ki har raah ko raushan

Humein manzil par pahochakar ye kitne shaad hote hain

Baraste hain ye saawan ki tarah pyasi zameenoñ par

Inhi ke faiz se ujde chaman abaad hote hain

Jo karte hain adab ustaad ka paate hain wo rifat

Jo inke be-adab hote wohi barbaad hote hain۔

English Translation

These teachers/ educators that inhabit our places of knowledge,

In reality, these are the real foundation of our community.

Whenever we hear the news of someone’s success,

they are the center of beings in each such news.

They are the ones who keep the flame of knowledge ignited,

and how happy they become to see us (students) reach our destination (success).

They pour over us like rains on parched earth,

It is their grace that rekindles a lifeless garden to blossom.

The ones (students) who respect their teachers find joy in life,

those who don’t, spiral down into destruction.
