Raaz

dafn kar sakta hun sine mein tumhaare raaz ko aur tum chaho to afsana bana sakta hun main

ye mere ishq ki majburiyan maaz-allah tumhaara raaz tumhin se chhupa raha hun main

jin ko apni khabar nahin ab tak wo mere dil ka raaz kya jaanen the speaker questions others’ ability to understand him: if someone lacks self-awareness, they cannot read another person’s inner truth. the “secret of the heart” stands for deep feelings and hidden pain. the couplet carries a tone of quiet hurt and distance, suggesting that true understanding requires knowing oneself first.

har sada par lage hain kan yahan dil sambhaale raho zaban ki tarah

koi samjhega kya raaz-e-gulshan jab tak uljhe na kanton se daman

tera har raaz chhupae hue baitha hai koi khud ko diwana banae hue baitha hai koi

ghairon pe khul na jae kahin raaz dekhna meri taraf bhi ghamza-e-ghammaz dekhna the speaker warns the beloved to guard their love’s secret from outsiders, because a single careless sign can expose everything. “ghamza-e-ghammaaz” is a glance that betrays what the heart tries to hide—both seductive and indiscreet. the emotional core is a mix of desire and caution: he craves attention, yet fears public disclosure. love here lives in secrecy, and the beloved’s eyes are both message and risk.

apna hi haal tak na khula mujh ko ta-ba-marg main kaun hun kahan se chala tha kahan gaya

koi kis tarah raaz-e-ulfat chhupae nigahen milin aur qadam dagmagae

un se sab haal daghabaz kahe dete hain mere hamraaz mera raaz kahe dete hain

daman ashkon se tar karen kyun-kar raaz ko mushtahar karen kyun-kar

hae wo raaz-e-gham ki jo ab tak tere dil mein meri nigah mein hai

main mohabbat na chhupaun tu adawat na chhupa na yahi raaz mein ab hai na wahi raaz mein hai

ba-pas-e-dil jise apne labon se bhi chhupaya tha mera wo raaz tere hijr ne pahuncha diya sab tak

zaban o dahan se jo khulte nahin hain wo khul jate hain raaz aksar nazar se

kitne hi raaz sab par 'ayan ho gae ek tera raaz-e-ulfat chhupate hue

wo jo ek baat hai jo tujh ko batai na gai wo jo ek raaz hai jo khul na saka wahshat hai

hum pe ye raaz khula bhi to bahut der ke ba'd asl kirdar kahani mein kisi aur ka hai

sakhiyon se kab sakhiyan apne ji ke bhed chhupati hain hum se nahin to us se kah de karta kahan kalam hai chand

aankhon ke sab moti dane aaine hain baatin ke ghar ka bhedi lanka dhae main bhi sochun tu bhi soch

kis pe khulte hain raat ke asrar kaun yan shab-guzar hai aisa

zabt-e-raaz-e-gham pe sau jaanen bhi kar dete nisar kya bataen bas zaban par un ka nam aa hi gaya
