main us ke badan ki muqaddas kitaab — Mohammad Alvi

kamre mein maze ki raushni ho
achchhi si koi kitaab dekhun

nayaa saal divaar par Taang de
puraane baras kaa calendar giraa

aur baazaar se kyaa le jaaun
pahli baarish kaa mazaa le jaaun

donon ke dil mein khauf thaa maidaan-e-jang mein
donon kaa khauf faasla thaa darmiyaan kaa

bulaa rahaa thaa koi chikh chikh kar mujh ko
kuein mein jhaank ke dekhaa to main hi andar thaa

us se bichhaDte vaqt main royaa thaa khub-saa
ye baat yaad aai to pahron hansaa kiyaa
