Neki aur poochh poochh
नेकी और पूछ पूछ
Meaning
A good deed needs no asking; of course one should help.
Literally: a good deed, and you even ask?
See it in the verse
Neki aur poochh poochh in Iqbal’s couplets
Puchh us se ki maqbul hai fitrat ki gawahi
Tu sahib-e-manzil hai ki bhatka hua rahi
Ask nature, for its testimony is accepted: are you the master of your destination, or a traveller who has lost his way?
