kal raat suni chhat pe ajab saneha hua
jaane do yar kaun batae ki kya hua
nazron se napta hai samundar ki wusaten
sahil pe ek shaKHs akela khaDa hua
lambi saDak pe dur talak koi bhi na tha
palken jhapak raha tha daricha khula hua
mana ki tu zahin bhi hai KHub-ru bhi hai
tujh sa na main hua to bhala kya bura hua
din Dhal raha tha jab use dafna ke aae the
suraj bhi tha malul zamin par jhuka hua
kya zulm hai ki shahr mein rahne ko ghar nahin
jangal mein peD peD pe tha ghar bana hua
'alwi' ghazal ka KHabt abhi kam nahin hua
jaega ji ke sath ye hauka laga hua
Ghazal
Kal raat suni chhat pe ajab saneha hua
