wafaa kaa naam zamaane me aam kar jaa_un
phir usake baad mai zidaa rahu ke mar jaa_un

ilaahi mujhako ataa kar sadaaqato ke charaag
mai unaki roshani le kar nagar nagar jaa_un

teri zami pe na ho naam nafarato kaa kahi
muhabbato ke fasaane sunun jidhar jaa_un

mere wujud kaa ye bhi to ek masaraf hai
dilo me pyaar ki maanid mai utar jaa_un

mazaa to jab hai ke dushman bhi mujhako yaad kare
misaal pyaar ki aisi mai chhod kar jaa_un

To make fidelity a household word,
Then live or die, my purpose unfurled.
God, grant me lamps of purest truth,
That I may carry light to age and youth.

That hate's grim name be banished from your ground,
And tales of love alone on every side be found.
My very being finds its truest art,
To seep like love into the human heart.

The truest joy, when even foes recall,
The gentle love I left to grace them all.
