If I remember correctly, this ghazal has been sung by Hariharan.
I am afraid I don't have the album information.


ghar chho.D ke bhii zindagii hairaaniyo.n me.n hai
shaharo.n kaa shor dasht kii viiraaniyo.n me.n hai

[dasht = desert/wilderness]

kitanaa kahaa thaa us se ke daaman sameT le
ab vo bhii mere saath pareshaaniyo.n me.n hai

laharo.n me.n Dhuu.NDhataa huu.N mai.n khoye huye nagiin
cheharo.n kaa aks bahate huye paaniyo.n me.n hai

[aks = reflection]

Darataa huu.N ye bhii vaqt ke haatho.n se miT na jaaye
halkee sii jo chamak abhii peshaaniyo.n me.n hai

[peshaanii = forehead]
