ghar se bahar kis bala ka shor tha
mere ghar mein jaise main khud chor tha

main ne dil mein jhank kar dekha use
phir usi ka aks chaaron or tha

pahle nacha aur phir rone laga
mera dil bhi jaise koi mor tha

ghar ke andar khak khane ko na thi
sarhadon par dushmanon ka zor tha

main ne kal raste mein dekha tha use
mujh ko kya malum tha wo chor tha

raat bhar 'alwi' ko main padhta raha
yar wo shaer to sach-much bor tha
