    Interesting Fact

    This nazm was dear to Zehra Nigah like her child, which was why she wrote one more part of it in old age.

    jab jhoñkā tez havāoñ

    kuchh soch ke dhīme guzrā thā

    jab tapte sūraj chehra

    uudī chādar meñ lipTā thā

    jab sūkhī miTTī siina

    sāñsoñ namī se jaagā thā

    ham log us shaam ikaTThe the

    jis ne hameñ hañs kar dekhā thā

    vo pahlā dost hamārā thā

    vo shaam pahlā taarā thā

    jo shāyad ham donoñ ke liye

    kuchh vaqt se pahle niklā thā

    jab jhilmil kartā vo kamra

    cigaret ke dhueñ se dhundlā thā

    jab nashsha-e-mai talḳhī se!

    har shaḳhs lahja mīThā thā

    har fikr apnī manzil thī

    har soch apnā rasta thā

    ham log us raat ikaTThe the

    us raat bhī kyā hañgāma thā

    maiñ mahv-e-mudārāt-e-ālam

    aur tum ko zauq-e-tamāshā thā

    mauzū-e-suḳhan jis par ham ne

    raa.e thī aur sochā thā

    duniyā badaltī hālat thī

    kuchh āb-o-havā qissa thā

    jab sab logoñ āñkhoñ meñ

    kamre dhuāñ bhar aayā thā

    tab maiñ ne khiḌkī kholī thii!

    tum ne parda sarkāyā thā

    jis ne hameñ dukh se dekhā thā

    vo pahlā dost hamārā thā

    vo shaam pahlā taarā thā

    jo shāyad ham donoñ ke liye

    us raat sahar tak jaagā thā

    vo shaam pahlā taarā thā

    jab jhonka tez hawaon ka

    kuchh soch ke dhime guzra tha

    jab tapte suraj ka chehra

    udi chadar mein lipTa tha

    jab sukhi miTTi ka sina

    sanson ki nami se jaga tha

    hum log us sham ikaTThe the

    jis ne hamein hans kar dekha tha

    wo pahla dost hamara tha

    wo sham ka pahla tara tha

    jo shayad hum donon ke liye

    kuchh waqt se pahle nikla tha

    jab jhilmil karta wo kamra

    cigaret ke dhuen se dhundla tha

    jab nashsha-e-mai ki talKHi se!

    har shaKHs ka lahja miTha tha

    har fikr ki apni manzil thi

    har soch ka apna rasta tha

    hum log us raat ikaTThe the

    us raat bhi kya hangama tha

    main mahw-e-mudaraat-e-alam

    aur tum ko zauq-e-tamasha tha

    mauzu-e-suKHan jis par hum ne

    rae di thi aur socha tha

    duniya ki badalti haalat thi

    kuchh aab-o-hawa ka qissa tha

    jab sab logon ki aankhon mein

    kamre ka dhuan bhar aaya tha

    tab main ne khiDki kholi thi!

    tum ne parda sarkaya tha

    jis ne hamein dukh se dekha tha

    wo pahla dost hamara tha

    wo sham ka pahla tara tha

    jo shayad hum donon ke liye

    us raat sahar tak jaga tha

    wo sham ka pahla tara tha
