jab wo jhagde mita chuke honge
khun kitna baha chuke honge

chand ka zakhm dekhne wale
shamen kitni bujha chuke honge

kal ke sapnon ko palne walo
kal to sapne rula chuke honge

un ke tum dost ho ki dushman ho
wo jo maqtal mein ja chuke honge

bas 'qalil' un ki yaad baqi hai
dushmani jo nibha chuke honge
