Whom to complain

If sick of self your own, whom to complain,
In crowd if feel alone, whom to complain.

World today’s too far gone, whom to complain,
Me, you, all I see yon, whom to complain.

We all have our seeds sown, whom to complain, 
We’ve made Earth bare to bone, whom to complain.

Four walls as witness moan, whom to complain,
We should have long ere known, whom to complain. 

Not so now can be done, none to complain,
Save, in despair to drown, none to complain.

Ghazal |26.09.2024|complain

Poet’s note: A typical Ghazal’s first sher or couplet is known as matlaa. Both the lines share a rhyme (kaafia) and refrain (radeef). In this Ghazal all the ten lines (called misraa) of five couplets repeat the refrain, ‘whom to complain’ as radeef.  None of my Ghazals have a maktaa or pen name in the last couplet or sher.
