dekhta bhi hai dekhta bhi nahin
dekhtā bhī hai dekhtā bhī nahīñ
jaise vo mujh ko jāntā bhī nahīñ
kis tarah aaj ḳhud ko pahchānūñ
mere ghar meñ to aa.ina bhī nahīñ
dhaak thī saare shahr meñ jis kī
ab use koī pūchhtā bhī nahīñ
pīchhe muḌne meñ ḳhauf-e-rusvā.ī
aage jaane kā rāsta bhī nahīñ
roz ḳhabroñ meñ naam aatā hai
shahr meñ koī jāntā bhī nahīñ
ġhair se pūchhtā hai haal mirā
maiñ bulā.ūñ to boltā bhī nahīñ
us ko niklā huuñ DhūñDne 'kausar'
jis kā koī atā-patā bhī nahīñ
dekhta bhi hai dekhta bhi nahin
jaise wo mujh ko jaanta bhi nahin
kis tarah aaj KHud ko pahchanun
mere ghar mein to aaina bhi nahin
dhak thi sare shahr mein jis ki
ab use koi puchhta bhi nahin
pichhe muDne mein KHauf-e-ruswai
aage jaane ka rasta bhi nahin
roz KHabron mein nam aata hai
shahr mein koi jaanta bhi nahin
ghair se puchhta hai haal mera
main bulaun to bolta bhi nahin
us ko nikla hun DhunDne 'kausar'
jis ka koi ata-pata bhi nahin
