din mein pariyan kyun aati hain
aisi ghaDiyan kyun aati hain
apna ghar aane se pahle
itni galiyan kyun aati hain
bahar kis ka Dar lagta hai
ghar mein chiDiyan kyun aati hain
din kyun nange ho jate hain
raaten uryan kyun aati hain
sher mein ulTi sidhi baaten
bol meri jaan kyun aati hain
'alwi' qabron tak jaane mein
bhul-bhulayyan kyun aati hain
Ghazal
Din mein pariyan kyun aati hain
Mohammad Alvi
