samne ek shadid mushkil hai
us ke pichhe mazid mushkil hai

ghar ujadne ka dar nahin hota
be-ghari ek mufid mushkil hai

ek mushkil mein dusri mushkil
goya mushkil kashid mushkil hai

aaj hairat ka samna hai mujhe
aaj guft-o-shunid mushkil hai

log aasaniyon mein dhundte hain
zindagi ki kalid mushkil hai

tere harbe riwayati hain 'aziz'
meri mushkil jadid mushkil hai
