kitne khabon ke mahal maine banaey lekin
jab khuli ankh to koi bhi salamat na mila
aaj phir aik naya qasr banane ke liye
maine armanon ke madfan pe bina rakhi hai
janta hun ke hamesha ki tarah yeh bhi mahal
khak hojaega,gir jaega,mit jaega
ek woh lamha-ey rahat ke talab hai jiski
mere daman-e talab main na kabhi aeyga
lekin is baar yeh socha hai ke is qasr ke sath
main khud bhi mehfil-e hasti se guzar jaunga
