wo gum hue hain musafir rah-e-tamanna mein
vo gum hue haiñ musāfir rah-e-tamannā meñ
ki gard bhī nahīñ ab aarzū ke sahrā meñ
hai kaun jalva-sarā bām-e-āfrīnash par
utar ga.e haiñ sitāre se chashm-e-bīnā meñ
milī thī jis ko numū dard kī salīboñ se
vo lams bhī nahīñ baaqī mire masīhā meñ
kashīd jin se huī thī na.e zamānoñ kī
vo mai-kade bhī hue ġharq mauj-e-sahbā meñ
uThā liyā thā jinheñ ġham ne shahr-e-mātam se
vo harf likkhe ga.e haiñ ḳhat-e-shakebā meñ
diyā shu.ūr ujāloñ kā sub.h-e-mariyam ko
charāġh kis ne jalāyā shab-e-kalīsā meñ
uThā hai ab ke vo tūfāñ javār-e-sāhil se
ki mauj bhī nahīñ mahfūz qa.ar-e-dariyā meñ
jo le ga.iiñ mire yūsuf ko bāb-e-zindāñ tak
vo chāhateñ bhī nahīñ dāman-e-zuleḳhā meñ
vo zaḳhm jin se milā dard āshnā.ī kā
nahīñ haiñ vo bhī 'samad' ab mire sarāpā meñ
wo gum hue hain musafir rah-e-tamanna mein
ki gard bhi nahin ab aarzu ke sahra mein
hai kaun jalwa-sara baam-e-afrinash par
utar gae hain sitare se chashm-e-bina mein
mili thi jis ko numu dard ki salibon se
wo lams bhi nahin baqi mere masiha mein
kashid jin se hui thi nae zamanon ki
wo mai-kade bhi hue gharq mauj-e-sahba mein
uTha liya tha jinhen gham ne shahr-e-matam se
wo harf likkhe gae hain KHat-e-shakeba mein
diya shuur ujalon ka subh-e-mariyam ko
charagh kis ne jalaya shab-e-kalisa mein
uTha hai ab ke wo tufan jawar-e-sahil se
ki mauj bhi nahin mahfuz qar-e-dariya mein
jo le gain mere yusuf ko bab-e-zindan tak
wo chahaten bhi nahin daman-e-zuleKHa mein
wo zaKHm jin se mila dard aashnai ka
nahin hain wo bhi 'samad' ab mere sarapa mein
