rahte kya manus-e-jaan bhi ab wo hum mein dam nahin
ab tawaf-e-ku-e-jaanan ko bhi jate hum nahin

puchhte bhi hain ilaj is dard ka ek ek se hum
mukhlisi aazar-e-gham se chahte bhi hum nahin

ho pilai sab ko hi pir-e-mughan ne to kahin
tishnagi sairab hogi kahte lekin hum nahin

samna hai gardish-e-dauran se apna to bhi kya
lakh hon us ke kisi chakkar se darte hum nahin

roab bhi lete hain sar aankhon pe ahl-e-husn ka
ho unhin ka naz-e-beja to uthate hum nahin

sar mera kata magar dastar sar par rahne di
mere qatil ka mere upar karam ye kam nahin

dushmani kina hasad aur nafraten to hain magar
jazba-e-insaniyat hi dil mein rakhte hum nahin

dena padta hai use ab khun bahane ka hisab
ab kisi tegh-o-tabar mein pahle jaisa dam nahin

is liye mail nahin 'panchhi' ba-aish-e-zist hum
us ka jo anjam hoga ghafil us se hum nahin
