Raaz Biography
Raaz Allahabadi was an Urdu poet whose identity was closely tied to Allahabad, a city that has produced many poets and writers across different languages. By adopting “Raaz” as his pen name, meaning secret or mystery, he aligned himself with the convention of Urdu poets who chose evocative takhallus to sign their verses.
His poetry followed the ghazal tradition, reflecting themes of love, separation, and human reflection. He was part of the literary culture of Allahabad, where Urdu poetry found strong expression in mushairas and gatherings.
Though detailed records of his life and published works are not widely documented, his name survives as one of the poets remembered in connection with Allahabad’s contribution to Urdu literary heritage.

neither the medication
nor the blessing

3 / 3: Raaz
itne manoos sayyaad se ho gaye
ab rihaayi milegi to mar jayenge
home burned, the garden destroyed
where will we go, getting out of the cage
having gotten accustomed to the captor
we will only die if we get freedom now
