Kisliye ye zindagi kuch soch

Kisliye ye zindagi kuch soch
soch saktaa hai aadmi kuch soch

kyun sabaa chaar soo bhaTakti hai
boo e gul mein hai kyaa kami kuch soch

subah mein itni narmiyaa.n kyun hain
raat hoti hai kyun kaDi kuch soch

hain kHamoshi mein kitni aawaaze.n
kaan dhar ghaur kar, kabhi kuch soch

dekhtaa kyaa hai chaand ko pyaare
do ghaDi hai ye chaandni kuch soch

Hum kahaan roz roz kahte hain
haan miri jaa.n kabhi kabhi kuch soch

ho sake to kabhi utar dil mein
dil ki baabat bhi sarsari kuch soch

maut ko door jaanne waale
dekh wo maut aa gayi kuch soch

yun nahin hoti shaa'iri ''Alvi''
meer o ghaalib ko paDh abhi kuch soch

Mohammad Alvi
