achanak teri yaad ka silsila
andhere ki diwar ban ke gira
abhi koi saya nikal aaega
zara jism ko raushni to dikha
paDa tha daraKHton tale TuT kar
chamakti hui dhup ka aaina
koi apne ghar se nikalta nahin
ajab haal hai aaj kal shahr ka
main us ke badan ki muqaddas kitab
nihayat aqidat se paDhta raha
ye kya aap phir sher kahne lage
are yar 'alwi' ye phir kya hua
Ghazal
Achanak teri yaad ka silsila
Mohammad Alvi
