Rekhta ( ; Rekhtā) was an early form of the Hindustani language. This style evolved in both the Perso-Arabic and Nagari scripts and is considered an early form of Standard Urdu and Modern Standard Hindi. According to the Pakistani linguist and historian Tariq Rehman, Rekhta was a highly Persianised variant of Hindustani, exclusively used by poets. It was not only the vocabulary that was Persianised, but also the poetic metaphors, inspired by Indian landscapes and seasons, were abandoned in favor of the Persian ones i.e. bahār (spring) replacing barsāt (rainy season).
