Shikan ek aadh bistar ke liye bhi,

Shikan ek aadh bistar ke liye bhi,
bachaa ke rakh kHushi ghar ke liye bhi

koi rangeen paikar waadiyo.n mein
zaraa sa rang manzar ke liye bhi

kai tayyaare uDte hain fazaa mein
koi parwaaz andar ke liye bhi

rago.n mein jam ke rah jaane se pahle
lahu thoDaa saa khanjar ke liye bhi

kisi ki yaad tanhaayi mein ''Alvi''
koi kashti samandar ke liye bhi

Mohammad Alvi
