Sher on Raat
Night, to many of us,
is much more interesting than the day. Night hides and day reveals. The hidden ones call our imagination to play. Poets have gone into the depths of the night and brought forth shining veses, some of which are here for you.
ik raat vo gayā thā jahāñ baat rok ke
ab tak rukā huā huuñ vahīñ raat rok ke
ek raat wo gaya tha jahan baat rok ke
ab tak ruka hua hun wahin raat rok ke
raat to vaqt kī pāband hai Dhal jā.egī
dekhnā ye hai charāġhoñ kā safar kitnā hai
raat to waqt ki paband hai Dhal jaegi
dekhna ye hai charaghon ka safar kitna hai
is safar meñ niiñd aisī kho ga.ī
ham na so.e raat thak kar so ga.ī
is safar mein nind aisi kho gai
hum na soe raat thak kar so gai
