be-samar sohbaton se behtar hain
ranjishen ulfaton se behtar hain

sanp achchhe nahin yaqinan nain
par mere doston se behtar hain

hasil-e-ishq hai ye ek jumla
fasle qurbaton se behtar hain

karha-e-hawas mein hain mashghul
mashghale fursaton se behtar hain

raste rasti ke mat chhodo
wadiyan parbaton se behtar hain

qufl behtar nahin zabanon par
han magar ghibaton se behtar hain

hum hain behtar kai balaon se
wo kai aafaton se behtar hain

aap aur hum mein farq hai itna
aap kuchh nisbaton se behtar hain

bad-gumanon se duriyan 'asi'
khwa-makhwah hujjaton se behtar hain
