main apne aap se darne laga tha
gali ka shor ghar mein aa gaya tha

pareshan tha khula darwaza ghar ka
koi khidki pe dastak de raha tha

use main shahr bhar mein dhundh aaya
mere kamre mein wo baitha hua tha

wahan ke log bhi kitne ajab the
ajab logon mein ghir ke rah gaya tha

bahut khush ho raha tha mujh se mil ke
na jaane aaj us ke dil mein kya tha

use main ne bhi kal dekha tha 'alwi'
nae kapde pahan ke ja raha tha
