wafur-e-shauq-e-jalwa mein dua ko bhul jate hain
mohabbat karne wale to khuda ko bhul jate hain

usulon par jahan bhi maslahat tarjih pati hai
wahin ahl-e-gharaz apni wafa ko bhul jate hain

hazaron thokaren milti hain hum ko dahr-e-fani mein
agar duniya mein hum teri raza ko bhul jate hain

mohabbat karne wale to jahan mein apne dilbar ki
wafa ko yaad rakhte hain jafa ko bhul jate hain

khuda ka nam yun rakhte to hain wird-e-zaban waiz
tamasha hai magar ahl-e-khuda ko bhul jate hain

wafur-e-zar wafur-e-aish mein to barha 'raushan'
bahut se log aise hain khuda ko bhul jate hain
