jo rahon ke patthar the kya ho gae hain
shiwalon mein ja kar khuda ho gae hain

ye kaisi hua chal rahi hai chaman mein
ki shakhon se patte juda ho gae hain

jo kal tak the qatil wo ganga naha kar
suna hai ki ab dewta ho gae hain

wo shakhen bahaen na kyun khun ke aansu
hare patte jin se juda ho gae hain

batae hamein baghban ki ye 'panchhi'
nasheman se kyun lapata ho gae hain
