جوانوں کو مری آہ سحر دے
پھر ان شاہیں بچوں کو بال و پر دے
Javanon ko meri aah-e-sahar de
Phir in shahin bachchon ko bal-o-par de
خدایا آرزو میری یہی ہے
مرا نور بصیرت عام کر دے
Khudaya arzu meri yahi hai
Mera nur-e-basirat aam kar de

About this rubai
A prayer in four lines: give the young my sigh of dawn, give these young eagles wings again; O God, my one wish is that the light of my insight be shared by all.
