ye achchha hai ki ye achchha nahin hai
jo us se ab koi rishta nahin hai

wo hai waisa ki ab waisa nahin hai
use ek umr se dekha nahin hai

riha ho kar qafas se kya karega
parinde ne kabhi socha nahin hai

na puchho waqt ki raftar hum se
guzarta hai magar dikhta nahin hai

mujhe maqtal mein roka hai ye kah kar
tumhein ab jaan ka khatra nahin hai

sabhi jannat mein jaana chahte hain
ye dozakh ke liye achchha nahin hai

khushi kyun phir rahi hai munh phulae
mera us se koi jhagda nahin hai

use patthar ke ho jaane ka dar tha
palat ke is liye dekha nahin hai

ye ku-e-ishq hai is mein se 'asif'
nikalne ka koi rasta nahin hai
