shanti ki dukanen kholi hain
faKHtaen kahan ki bholi hain
kaisi chup sadh li hai kawwon ne
jaise bas koyalen hi boli hain
raat bhar ab udham machaenge
KHwahishen din mein KHub so li hain
chal paDe hain kaTe-phaTe jazbe
hasraten sath sath ho li hain
kaun qatil hai kya pata chalta
sab ne apni qabaen dho li hain
sher hote nahin to 'alwi' ne
KHun mein ungliyan Dubo li hain
Ghazal
Shanti ki dukanen kholi hain
Mohammad Alvi
