Extending the search for the magic wavelengths using the circularly polarized light in rubidium [Phys. Rev. A 86, 033416 (2012)], we pursue here to look for the magic wavelengths in the $ns-np_{1/2,3/2}$ transitions of Li, Na and K alkali atoms. These wavelengths for all possible sub-levels are given and compared with the corresponding wavelengths due to the linearly polarized light. We have also mentioned explicitly the dynamic polarizabilities at few important wave lengths. The present study suggests that it is possible to carry out state insensitive trapping of different alkali atoms using the circularly polarized light.
