tu khud ko dekh le kitna daraaz-qamat hai
tera falak to mere chand ki badaulat hai

kisi bhi haal mein hum kharch kar nahin sakte
hamara dard teri di hui amanat hai

mera wajud abhi barf ki misal nahin
bachi hui abhi is rakh mein tamazat hai

jawab int ka dena padega patthar se
yahi hai rasm yahan ki yahi riwayat hai

ajib chaar-taraf hai faza mein khamoshi
ye kya maqam hai kis qahr ki alamat hai

nahin charagh to jugnu ka qafila bheje
bahut siyah hai rasta bahut zarurat hai

'nisar' tez qadam hai bahut ye duniya to
ki ab padaw bhi karna tujhe qayamat hai
