It will resolve our problem of differences and distance. You are beauty & love. Dare to share it without any discrimination. You are an ideal, be role model.]
اکین منجھ آکیرا ۽ ساہ پساہ ۾ تنھنجي جاء،
دل جي دنیا روح وجود آھن فقط تنھنجي لاء،
سپنن سوچن لوچن ۾ تون ڪٿ ناھین اھو ٻڌاء؟
تون پرچي پوندین پل ڀریندين پاڻ کٹي پرچاء،
نینھن جا مینھن وساء، ساز سٹاء سرت سلام جو
