din ho ki ho wo raat abhi kal ki baat hai
hoti thi un se baat abhi kal ki baat hai

jhapki idhar palak wo udhar ho gae hawa
jo the hamare sath abhi kal ki baat hai

the eqtidar mein to zamana tha apne gird
logon ki thi baraat abhi kal ki baat hai

phir aa gae bisat pe mohre pite hue
khai thi hum se mat abhi kal ki baat hai

wo gul tha dal dal to gulshan mein jun saba
hum bhi the pat pat abhi kal ki baat hai

jo shakhs aaj sang-e-malamat ka hai hadaf
thi mohtaram wo zat abhi kal ki baat hai

'khusraw' the us ke halqa-bagoshon mein aap bhi
hathon mein dale hath abhi kal ki baat hai
