sher to sab kahte hain kya hai
sher to sab kahte haiñ kyā hai
chup rahne meñ aur mazā hai
kyā paayā dīvān chhapā kar
lo raddī ke mol bikā hai
darvāze par pahra dene
tanhā.ī kā bhuut khaḌā hai
ghar meñ kyā aayā ki mujh ko
dīvāroñ ne gher liyā hai
maiñ nāhaq din kaaT rahā huuñ
kaun yahāñ sau saal jiyā hai
aage pīchhe koī nahīñ hai
koī nahīñ to phir ye kyā hai
bāhar dekh chukūñ to dekhūñ
andar kyā hone vaalā hai
ek ġhazal aur kah lo 'alvī'
phir barsoñ tak chup rahnā hai
sher to sab kahte hain kya hai
chup rahne mein aur maza hai
kya paya diwan chhapa kar
lo raddi ke mol bika hai
darwaze par pahra dene
tanhai ka bhut khaDa hai
ghar mein kya aaya ki mujh ko
diwaron ne gher liya hai
main nahaq din kaT raha hun
kaun yahan sau sal jiya hai
aage pichhe koi nahin hai
koi nahin to phir ye kya hai
bahar dekh chukun to dekhun
andar kya hone wala hai
ek ghazal aur kah lo 'alwi'
phir barson tak chup rahna hai
