phir yunh hua kay ek dusray ko taktay rahain yunhi // wo andaaz e bayaan say qaasir, mein lafz e ibtida say aajiz

In english we say :

Lost in your beauty, blind to the world

But in urdu farhat ehsaas said :

Umr bhar padhte rahenge ik yahi akhbar-e-husn,

Aur saare saanehon se be-khabar jaayenge hum

Saanehon = (dukh wale waqeyaat , Tragedies)

"When the center of attention shifts from 'me' to 'We', self-centeredness breathes its last."
