maqam-e-hijr kahin imtihan se khali hai
kahin zamin bhi kisi aasman se khali hai

nashat-e-gham mein to dard-e-nihan talash na kar
nashat-e-gham kabhi dard-e-nihan se khali hai

uruj-e-gham mere soz-e-jigar se aa puchha
maqam-e-dil kahin soz-e-nihan se khali hai

khayal us ka main shayad samajh nahin paya
mera khayal to ishq-e-butan se khali hai

ek aisi baat hi taskin-e-qalb bakhshe hai
'nisar' dil mera wahm-o-guman se khali hai
