sardii men din sard milaa
— Mohammad Alvi
Sardee men din sard milaa
Har mausam bedard milaa
Oonche lambe peDon kaa
Patta patta zard milaa
Sochte hain kyuun zinda hain
Achchhaa ye sar-dard milaa
Ham ro.e to baat bhee thee
Kyuun rotaa har fard milaa
Milaa hamen bas ek khuda
Aur wo bhee bedard milaa
'alvee' khwaish bhee thee baanjh
Jazba bhee naa-mard milaa
