main talash mein kisi aur ki mujhe DhunDhta koi aur hai

maiñ talāsh meñ kisī aur kī mujhe DhūñDhtā koī aur hai

maiñ savāl huuñ kisī aur kā merā mas.ala koī aur hai

kabhī chāñd-chehroñ kī bhiiḌ se jo nikal ke aayā to ye khulā

vo jo asl thā use kho diyā jise pā liyā koī aur hai

kaTī umr ek usī chaah meñ use dekhte kisī raah meñ

magar ik zamāne ke ba.ad jo huā āshnā koī aur hai

faqat ek pal ke firāq meñ ka.ī ḳhvāb kirchiyāñ ho ga.e

jo palaT ke aa.e to yuuñ lagā yahāñ silsila koī aur hai

vahī log haiñ vahī naam haiñ vahī ghar vahī dar-o-bām haiñ

magar ab darīchoñ kī oT se hameñ jhāñktā koī aur hai

kisī aane vaale safar kī jab karo ibtidā to ye sochnā

maiñ akelā is meñ sharīk huuñ ki mire sivā koī aur hai

use mil ke aa.e to shaam ko mujhe aa.ine ne kahā suno

vo jo sub.h-dam thā hasan-'razā' vo tumhī ho yā koī aur hai

main talash mein kisi aur ki mujhe DhunDhta koi aur hai

main sawal hun kisi aur ka mera masala koi aur hai

kabhi chand-chehron ki bhiD se jo nikal ke aaya to ye khula

wo jo asl tha use kho diya jise pa liya koi aur hai

kaTi umr ek usi chah mein use dekhte kisi rah mein

magar ek zamane ke baad jo hua aashna koi aur hai

faqat ek pal ke firaq mein kai KHwab kirchiyan ho gae

jo palaT ke aae to yun laga yahan silsila koi aur hai

wahi log hain wahi nam hain wahi ghar wahi dar-o-baam hain

magar ab darichon ki oT se hamein jhankta koi aur hai

kisi aane wale safar ki jab karo ibtida to ye sochna

main akela is mein sharik hun ki mere siwa koi aur hai

use mil ke aae to sham ko mujhe aaine ne kaha suno

wo jo subh-dam tha hasan-'raza' wo tumhi ho ya koi aur hai
