dostī apnī jagah aur dushmanī apnī jagah
farz ke anjām dene kī ḳhushī apnī jagah
ham to sargarm-e-safar haiñ aur raheñge umr bhar
manzileñ apnī jagah āvārgī apnī jagah
pattharoñ ke des meñ shīshe kā hai apnā vaqār
devtā apnī jagah aur aadmī apnī jagah
gyaan maanā hai baḌā bhaktī bhī lekin kam nahīñ
āgahī apnī jagah dīvāngī apnī jagah
sub.h haiñ sajde meñ ham to shaam saaqī ke huzūr
bandagī apnī jagah aur mai-kashī apnī jagah
saarā aalam hai tarannum-ḳhez ai shā.ir-navāz
sher kī apnī jagah aur 'tarz' kī apnī jagah
