fasil shahr ki itni buland o sakht hui
ki kul sipah mazamin-e-taj-o-takht hui

bujha charagh thi main hasidon ki aankhon mein
dua ke shahr mein aai to sabz bakht hui

wo lamha jab mere bachche ne man pukara mujhe
main ek shakh se kitna ghana darakht hui

kisi ne sabz jazire pe mujh ko rok liya
safar ke azm ki naw bhi lakht lakht hui

talluqat 'humaira' kabida hone mein
nigah-e-dost ki aawaz bhi karakht hui
