tanhaiyan jo ras na aaen to kya karen
zaKHmon ki anjuman na sajaen to kya karen
is daur-e-kashmakash mein mohabbat ka nam bhi
danista log bhul na jaen to kya karen
ek aasra to chahiye jine ke waste
haalat ka fareb na khaen to kya karen
dil bhi yahan bahut hain sawalat bhi bahut
lekin koi jawab na paen to kya karen
waqif hain hum bhi ishq ke aadab se magar
diwana KHud hi log banaen to kya karen
viran hai pahli sham se maqtal ke raste
ghabra ke mai-kade ko na jaen to kya karen
dam ghuT rahe hain talKH haqaeq ke zahr se
KHwabon ki bastiyan na basaen to kya karen
duniya ke har fareb ko ehsan man kar
duniya ka hausla na baDhaen to kya karen
tafsir-e-kaenat to aasan hai 'rais'
apne hi dil ka raaz na paen to kya karen
Ghazal
Tanhaiyan jo ras na aaen to kya karen
Raees Akhtar
