Khabar Kuchh Aisi Udaai Kisi Ne Gaanw Mein

Khabar kuchh aisi udaai kisi ne gaanw mein,
Udaas phirte hain hum bairiyon ki chhaanw mein..

Nazar nazar se nikalti hai dard ki teesein,
Qadam qadam pe wo kaante chubhe hain paanw mein,

Har ek samt se ud ud ke ret aati hai,
Abhi hai zor wahi dasht ki hawaon mein,

Ghumon ki bheed mein ummid ka wo aalam hai,
Ke jaise ek sakhi ho kayi gadaon mein, 

Abhi hai gosh bar-awaaz ghar ka sannata,
Abhi koshish hai badi door ki sadaon mein,

Chale to hain kisi aahat ka aasra le kar,
Bhatak na jaayen kahin ajnabi fazaon mein,

Dhuan dhuan si hai kheto'n ki chandni 'Baqi',
Ke aag shahar ki ab aa gayi hai gaanw mein.!!
