Shaghl Behtar Hai Ishq-bazi Ka — Wali Dakhani

शग़्ल बेहतर है इश्क़-बाज़ी का क्या हक़ीक़ी ओ क्या मजाज़ी का
— Wali Dakhani

Meaning

Engaging in love is the finest pursuit of all, whether it is divine and spiritual or worldly and human.

Explanation

The poet gently suggests that among all the pursuits one could choose in life, devoting oneself to love is by far the most worthwhile. It hardly matters whether this passion is sacred devotion toward the Divine or tender affection for another human being. What truly counts is the transformation of the heart—letting go of ego and allowing love, in any shape, to breathe warmth into an otherwise mundane existence.
