aur koi chaara na tha aur koi surat na thi
aur koī chārā na thā aur koī sūrat na thī
us ke rahe ho ke ham jis se mohabbat na thī
itne baḌe shahr meñ koī hamārā na thā
apne sivā āshnā ek bhī sūrat na thī
is bharī duniyā se vo chal diyā chupke se yuuñ
jaise kisī ko bhī ab us kī zarūrat na thī
ab to kisī baat par kuchh nahīñ hotā hameñ
aaj se pahle kabhī aisī to hālat na thī
sab se chhupāte rahe dil meñ dabāte rahe
tum se kaheñ kis liye ġham thā vo daulat na thī
apnā to jo kuchh bhī thā ghar meñ paḌā thā sabhī
thoḌā bahut chhoḌnā chor kī aadat na thī
aisī kahānī kā maiñ āḳhirī kirdār thā
jis meñ koī ras na thā koī bhī aurat na thī
sher to kahte the ham sach hai ye 'alvī' magar
tum ko sunāte kabhī itnī bhī fursat na thī
aur koi chaara na tha aur koi surat na thi
us ke rahe ho ke hum jis se mohabbat na thi
itne baDe shahr mein koi hamara na tha
apne siwa aashna ek bhi surat na thi
is bhari duniya se wo chal diya chupke se yun
jaise kisi ko bhi ab us ki zarurat na thi
ab to kisi baat par kuchh nahin hota hamein
aaj se pahle kabhi aisi to haalat na thi
sab se chhupate rahe dil mein dabaate rahe
tum se kahen kis liye gham tha wo daulat na thi
apna to jo kuchh bhi tha ghar mein paDa tha sabhi
thoDa bahut chhoDna chor ki aadat na thi
aisi kahani ka main aaKHiri kirdar tha
jis mein koi ras na tha koi bhi aurat na thi
sher to kahte the hum sach hai ye 'alwi' magar
tum ko sunate kabhi itni bhi fursat na thi
