wo bashar jo padh ke bhi kahta ho yun
ban ke talib aur kuchh hasil karun

koi shak us ki fazilat mein nahin
us ka rutba hai farishton se fuzun

wo bashar kuchh bhi na aata ho jise
lekin us ko shauq ho aalim banun

apni be-ilmi ka us ko ilm hai
na-munasib hai use jahil ginun

wo bashar jo ho nira ahmaq magar
khud samajhta ho ki danish-mand hun

maut hai us ki himaqat ka ilaj
wo rahega umr bhar khwar-o-zabun

har bashar ai 'faiz' ye koshish kare
jis tarah bhi ho jahaalat se bachun
