Pag pag phul khile the lekin tan-man mein thi aag

pag pag phul khile the lekin tan-man mein thi aag
wo to sath nahin tha lekin sath the is ke bhag

soch raha hun kis ke wish se hogi kam taklif
chaaron aur khaDe hain mere rang-birange nag

dhire dhire man-agni ThanDi na kahin ho jae
chheD kabhi dil ki bina par koi purana rag

miThe pani ki naddi kyun bahe samundar or
jis ke man mein pyar ka dhan ho kyun le wo bairag

aaj yahan kal wahan yahi hai 'baqar' apna haal
har miTTi dhutkare jab se chhuT gaya prayag
