Dohe on Poetry For Children

ḳhidmat se ustād kī rahtā hai jo duur
chehre par us ke nahīñ achchhā.ī kā nuur
KHidmat se ustad ki rahta hai jo dur
chehre par us ke nahin achchhai ka nur
kyā nādāñ se dostī kyā daanā se bair
donoñ aise kaam haiñ jin meñ nahīñ hai ḳhair
kya nadan se dosti kya dana se bair
donon aise kaam hain jin mein nahin hai KHair
