zat ka meri jo chehra hota
mere ghar mein nahin shisha hota

ye kuan itna na gahra hota
jo kisi ne kabhi jhanka hota

tum ne paude ko tha sae mein rakha
dhup mein rakhte to zinda hota

jo andheron mein ujale palte
to ujalon se andhera hota

tu haqiqat tha nazar aaya nahin
khwab ban jata to dekha hota

tu jo aansu na bana hota agar
aankh se meri na tapka hota

us ke man bap nahin hai shayad
warna us mein kahin bachcha hota

teri mahfil ye na hoti jo 'nawa'
tu kahin kone mein baitha hota
