wafa kam hai nazar aati bahut hai
baDe shahron mein danai bahut hai
hamare panw mein patthar bandhe hain
teri aankhon mein gahrai bahut hai
banane ko himala nafraton ke
ghalat-fahmi ki ek rai bahut hai
nazar mein kis ki hai pakizgi ab
ki is talab mein kai bahut hai
hamara sath rahna bhi hai mushkil
bichhaDne mein bhi ruswai bahut hai
sabhi ki zindagi hai apni apni
bhare ghar mein bhi tanhai bahut hai
adab mein zindagi pane ko 'alwi'
faqat lahje mein sachchai bahut hai
Ghazal
Wafa kam hai nazar aati bahut hai
Ahmad Alvi
