Mai Khayaal Hoon Kisi Aur Ka


Mai Khayaal Hoon Kisi Aur Ka

Mai khayaal hoon kisi aur ka
Mujhe sochta koi aur hai
Sar-e-aina mera aks hai
Pas-e-aina koi aur hai

Mai kisi ke (dast)-e-talab mai hoon
To kisi ke harf-e-duwa mai hoon
Mai naseeb hoon kisi aur ka
Mujhe maangta koi aur hai

Ajab aitebaar be-aitebaari ke darmiyaan hai zindagi
Mai qareeb hoon kisi aur ke
Mujhe jaanta koi aur hai

Wahi munsifon ki rivaayatain
Wahi faislon ki (ibaaratain)
Mera jurm to koi aur tha
Par meri saza koi aur hai

Teri roshni mere (khad)-o-khalis se mukhtalif to nahi magar
Tu qareeb aa tujhe dekh loon
Tu wahi hai ya koi aur hai

Jo meri (riyaazat-e-neem) shab ko Saleem subha na mil saki
To phir is ke maani to yeh huway
Ke yahan khuda koi aur hai
Mai khayaal hoon kisi aur ka
Mujhe sochta koi aur hai
Mai khayaal hoon kisi aur ka...

As Far as my understanding of the above gazal, the meanings are as follows.

dast-e-talab ? Directive/Order

ibaraatain ? speeches/Compositions

riyaazat-e-neem_shab - austere mid-night / religiously devoted mid-night

Khad-o-Khaal - Soul/Aura

Hope it helps.
