Na Jaane Kyun...?
Raah-e-dahar par masarrat dhoondhte ho, apna muqaddar dhoondhte ho...(On the path of life,you look for happiness, you look for your fate/destiny...)
Hasraton ke qafas mein na jaane kyun aaj bhi tum humdard dhoondhte ho?
(I don't know why you look for sympathizers even in the prison of regrets/intense sorrow?)
Fasaana-e-shab-e-gham hai peeche; Zulmat hai tumhare aage...(The story of a night of sorrows lies behind you, darkness lies before you...)
Aisi fizaaon mein bhi na jaane kyun aaj bhi tum saher dhoondhte ho?
(I don't know why you are in the pursuit of the morning even in such an environment?)
Manzilein khud bana kar bhi to raahon mein gum-raah ho jaate ho...(Even after creating the destinations yourself, you get lost in the paths you created...)
Haram ki raah par phir bhi na jaane kyun nahin chalte ho?
(I don't know why then do you not travel on the path of God's House?)
Gam-e-hayaat ki bekasi mein jab itne tanhaa reh jaate ho,(When you are helplessly stricken with life's grief into the realm of loneliness)
Tab kabhi jazbaa-e-imaan ki rehguzar par na jaane kyun nahin chalte ho?
(Why then don't you ever travel on the path of abiding faith?)

dhoodte ho tum kyun mujhe in maheki hawaon main
dhoodte ho tum kyon in ghani ghataon main
main to tumahari chaya hoon, jo saath tere chalta hoon
zaara jhaankhke dekho apne dil main
sirf mujhe hi tum paaoge
Hasrat ka matlab to khwahish hota hai na ke gham; but it is o.k both the ways it makes some sense.
very nice...

Stumbled at you blog. The poem's beautiful, my compliments.
Just a curious observation, strictly, to be called a Ghazal, as it has been tagged, it should have the qafiya, that is the word before the radif ("dhoodhte ho" in this case) should rhyme for every couplet's second line.

Sorry, my mistake. You seem to have used 'ho' as your radif. :)
Beautiful shayari,it is true for so many people today.
