bataen kya ki kitna jaante hain
tumhein tum se ziyaada jaante hain

khamoshi se ayan hota hai un ki
wo apni baat kahna jaante hain

bahut padh kar hua ye ilm hum ko
ki hum kitna zara sa jante hain

qalam kaghaz hamare sher aur tum
use hum apni duniya jaante hain

hum aa jate hain aksar apne aage
magar hum bach nikalna jaante hain

pata hai ruthne wale ko 'asif'
ki hum rishte nibhana jaante hain
