    'ajab añdherī raat nazāra thā

    zamīn aañkh thī falak sitāra thā

    vo kaun haath hogā jis ne pahlī baar

    charāġh ūñche taaq se utārā thā

    jo sirf ḳhushkiyoñ ke rahne vaale the

    samundar un āḳhirī sahārā thā

    maiñ pāniyoñ ke pahle marhale talak

    jahāñ pe vo thā tīsrā kināra thā

    jalī thiiñ sirf chaar chhe 'imārateñ

    lapeT meñ agarche shahr saarā thā

    vahī makān jis ke baam par kabhī

    ik aa.ine 'aks be-sahārā thā

    vahī darīcha jis chhāñv meñ kabhī

    maiñ apnī saarī kā.enāt haarā thā

    vahī jagah hai jis jagah tujhe kabhī

    tire purāne naam se pukārā thā

    magar kise batā.eñ kaun mānegā

    vo ḳhvāb raat aañkh meñ dobāra thā

    phir ik safar ke baa'd dūsrā safar

    ye baat mānñe kis ko yaarā thā

    phir ek 'umr bītne ke bāvajūd

    vahīñ khaḌā thā maiñ vahī nazāra thā

    'ajab andheri raat ka nazara tha

    zamin aankh thi falak sitara tha

    wo kaun hath hoga jis ne pahli bar

    charagh unche taq se utara tha

    jo sirf KHushkiyon ke rahne wale the

    samundar un ka aaKHiri sahaara tha

    main paniyon ke pahle marhale talak

    jahan pe wo tha tisra kinara tha

    jali thin sirf chaar chhe 'imaraten

    lapeT mein agarche shahr sara tha

    wahi makan jis ke baam par kabhi

    ek aaine ka 'aks be-sahaara tha

    wahi daricha jis ki chhanw mein kabhi

    main apni sari kaenat haara tha

    wahi jagah hai jis jagah tujhe kabhi

    tere purane nam se pukara tha

    magar kise bataen kaun manega

    wo KHwab raat aankh mein dobara tha

    phir ek safar ke ba'd dusra safar

    ye baat manne ka kis ko yara tha

    phir ek 'umr bitne ke bawajud

    wahin khaDa tha main wahi nazara tha
