raat ajab aaseb-zada sa mausam tha
raat ajab āseb-zada sā mausam thā
apnā honā aur na honā mub.ham thā
ek gul-e-tanhā.ī thā jo hamdam thā
ḳhaar o ġhubār kā sarmāya bhī kam kam thā
aañkh se kaT kaT jaate the saare manzar
raat se rañg-e-dīda-e-hairāñ barham thā
jis aalam ko hū kā aalam kahte haiñ
vo aalam thā aur vo aalam paiham thā
ḳhaar ḳhamīda-sar the bagūle be-āvāz
sahrā meñ bhī aaj kasī kā mātam thā
raushniyāñ atrāf meñ 'zehrā' raushan thiiñ
ā.īne meñ aks hī terā maddham thā
raat ajab aaseb-zada sa mausam tha
apna hona aur na hona mubham tha
ek gul-e-tanhai tha jo hamdam tha
KHar o ghubar ka sarmaya bhi kam kam tha
aankh se kaT kaT jate the sare manzar
raat se rang-e-dida-e-hairan barham tha
jis aalam ko hu ka aalam kahte hain
wo aalam tha aur wo aalam paiham tha
KHar KHamida-sar the bagule be-awaz
sahra mein bhi aaj kasi ka matam tha
raushniyan atraf mein 'zehra' raushan thin
aaine mein aks hi tera maddham tha
