main us ke badan ki muqaddas kitaab — Mohammad Alvi

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

yakka ulaT ke rah gayaa ghoDaa bhaDak gayaa
kaali saDak pe chaand saa chehra chamak gayaa

nayaa saal divaar par Taang de
puraane baras kaa calendar giraa

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

mire hone ne mujh ko maar Daalaa
nahin thaa to bahut mahfuz thaa main

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