hawa chali to mere jism ne kaha mujh ko
akela chhod ke tu bhi kahan chala mujh ko

main kab se dhundhta phirta hun apni qismat ko
ye tere hath mein kya hai zara dikha mujh ko

dahakti jalti hui dopahar mili lekin
kisi darakht ka saya na mil saka mujh ko

main apne room ki batti jalae baitha hun
are ye sham se pahle hi kya hua mujh ko

bala ke shor mein dubi hui sada hun main
kisi se kya kahun main ne bhi kab suna mujh ko

wo koi aur hai 'alwi' jo sher kahta hai
tum is ke jurm ki dete ho kyun saza mujh ko
