hamare sher hain ab sirf dil-lagi ke 'asad' khula ki faeda arz-e-hunar men khaak nahin the poet speaks with bitter clarity: once he sought recognition through poetry, but experience has taught him that displaying talent brings no reward. so he reframes his verses as mere “pastime,” a protective lowering of expectations. the phrase “khak” (dust) stresses utter worthlessness, turning the couplet into a confession of disillusionment with worldly appreciation.
