qarār paate haiñ āḳhir ham apnī apnī jagah
ziyāda rah nahīñ saktā koī kisī kī jagah
banānī paḌtī hai har shaḳhs ko jagah apnī
mile agarche ba-zāhir banī-banā.ī jagah
haiñ apnī apnī jagah mutma.in jahāñ sab log
tasavvurāt meñ mere hai ek aisī jagah
gilā bhī tujh se bahut hai magar mohabbat bhī
vo baat apnī jagah hai ye baat apnī jagah
kiye hue hai farāmosh tū jise 'bāsir'
vahī hai asl meñ terā maqām terī jagah
