ye zard chehra ye dard-e-paiham koi sunega to kya kahega
zara se dil mein hazar-ha gham koi sunega to kya kahega
na qahqahon ke hi silsile hain na doston mein wo rat-jage hain
har ek se milna kiya hai kam kam koi sunega to kya kahega
bichhaDne walon ka gham na kije KHud apne upar sitam na kijiye
udas chehra hai aankh pur-nam koi sunega to kya kahega
tu sirf apni gharaz ki KHatir ye jalte dipak bujha raha hai
magar zara ye to soch hamdam koi sunega to kya kahega
balaen kitni bhi aaen sar par 'rais' gham ki na kije shohrat
ye aah-o-zari ye shor-e-matam koi sunega to kya kahega
Ghazal
Ye zard chehra ye dard-e-paiham koi sunega to kya kahega
