اپنے من میں ڈوب کر پا جا سراغِ زندگیApne Man Mein Doob Kar
by Allama Muhammad Iqbal علامہ محمد اقبال Attributed
اپنے من میں ڈوب کر پا جا سراغِ زندگی
تو اگر میرا نہیں بنتا نہ بن اپنا تو بن
Apne man mein doob kar pa ja suraagh-e-zindagi

अपने मन में डूब कर पा जा सुराग़-ए-ज़िंदगी
तू अगर मेरा नहीं बनता न बन अपना तो बन
