KHwab mein ek makan dekha tha
phir na khiDki thi na darwaza tha
sune raste pe sar-e-sham koi
ghar ki yaadon mein ghira baiTha tha
log kahte hain ki mujh sa tha koi
wo jo bachchon ki tarah roya tha
raat thi aur koi sath na tha
chand bhi dur khaDa hansta tha
ek mela sa laga tha dil mein
main akela hi phira karta tha
aisa hangama na tha jangal mein
shahr mein aae to Dar lagta tha
gham ke dariya mein teri yaadon ka
ek jazira sa ubhar aaya tha
kaun aaya tha makan mein 'alwi'
kis ne darwaza abhi khola tha
Ghazal
KHwab mein ek makan dekha tha
Mohammad Alvi
