zamin logon se dar gai hai
samundaron mein utar gai hai

khamoshiyon mein sada gajar ki
khayal ke par katar gai hai

khade hain be-barg sar jhukae
hawa darakhton ko char gai hai

hamein to nind aaegi na lekin
ye raat bhi to thahar gai hai

kahan bhatakte phiroge 'alwi'
sadak se puchho kidhar gai hai
