qissa un dinon ka hai jab hamein mohabbat thi
khwab ek muamma tha nind ek aziyyat thi

kya ajib rishta tha aag aur pani ka
main barasta baadal tha aur wo qayamat thi

hum ki ek duje par is tarah se lazim the
mujh ko us ka nashsha tha us ko meri aadat thi

hum bhatakte phirte the tishnagi ke sahra mein
un labon pe amrit tha aur mujhe ijazat thi

raat mein musafir tha gul-badan ke raston ka
ang ang khushbu thi kya hasin masafat thi

hum gunah-gar-e-shab rokne se rukte kab
umr ka taqaza tha waqt ki zarurat thi

hum 'samir' kho baithe maslahat ki rahon mein
wo jo ek talluq tha wo jo ek nisbat thi
