In the final 'sher', he goes on to talk about himself after his death, ''Hui muddat ke Ghalib mar gaya, par yaad aataa hai Woh har ek baat pe kehna, ke yun hota to kya hota' i.e. 'It's some time since Ghalib expired, but we remember him still/ The way he used to say about everything as to what would happen if such and such were the case'.
