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
Ghazal
Sher to sab kahte hain kya hai
Mohammad Alvi
