hawa sanke to kharon ko badi taklif hoti hai
mere gham ki bahaaron ko badi taklif hoti hai

na chhed ai ham-nashin ab zist ke mayus naghmon ko
ki ab barbat ke taron ko badi taklif hoti hai

mujhe ai kasrat-e-alam bas itni shikayat hai
ki mere gham-gusaron ko badi taklif hoti hai

kaho maujon se lahra kar na yun palten samundar se
ki ba-ghairat kinaron ko badi taklif hoti hai

gale milte hain jab aapas mein do bichhde hue sathi
'adam' hum be-sahaaron ko badi taklif hoti hai
