MORE BYSyed Mohammad Jafri

    cigarette ne ye ik paan ke biiḌe se kahā

    hamesha se parī-rūoñ ke jhurmuT meñ rahā

    kaun aisī haiñ ḳhidmāt tirī besh-bahā

    ḳhūñ-bahā kyuuñ lab-o-dandān-e-hasīnāñ se liyā

    tujh meñ kyā la.al lage haiñ ki itrātā hai

    be-hijābāna har ik bazm meñ aa jaatā hai

    cigarette se jo sune paan ne ye talḳh suḳhan

    bolā ḳhāmosh ki achchhā nahīñ hāsid chalan

    jalte rahne se dhuāñ ban ke miTā terā badan

    lagā muñh ko to ġhā.eb huī ḳhushbū-e-dahan

    kāġhzī pairahan aur us pe fariyādī hai

    ḳhud-ba-ḳhud ġhussa meñ jal jaane aadī hai

    is pe cigarette ne kahā paan se ye kyā hai sitam

    chhāñv meñ paltā hai aur hai baḌā sabz qadam

    katthe, chūne pe, Dalī par tirā qaa.em hai bharam

    tujh pe chāñdī ke varaq lipTeñ to kyā hai tujhe ġham

    ḳhās-dānoñ ke muhāfoñ meñ safar kartā hai

    raat din māh-jabīnoñ meñ basar kartā hai

    paan bolā ki jalātā hai kyuuñ qalb-o-jigar

    eshiyā.ī maiñ huuñ, maġhrib hai saudāgar

    kaash apne garebān meñ muñh Daale agar

    vo be-bas hai ki māchis jo ho dast-e-nigar

    aag barsāne meñ saarī tirī ra.anā.ī hai

    aur ye chiñgārī bhī bāhar se kahīñ paa.ī hai

    bolā cigarette ki bashar shikva-kunāñ haiñ tere

    dar-o-dīvār pe paīkoñ ke nishāñ haiñ tere

    jo lipstick meñ haiñ vo jalve kahāñ haiñ tere

    ḳhud to halkā hai pa nuqsān girāñ haiñ tere

    na ġhizā meñ na davā meñ hai to phir kaun hai

    halākū hai ki taimūr ki fir.aun hai

    paan kahne lagā cigarette se ki iblīs-e-laīñ

    terī tambākū se jaatī hai badan meñ nicotine

    tujh se paidā hue amrāz nihāyat sañgīn

    be-tamīz itnā ki mahfil meñ jalā.e qālīn

    raakh se terī bharī dekhte haiñ ashtray

    koī girne ko to gir jaa.e par itnā na gire

    jal ke ḳhud sab ko jilā denā tirā pesha hai

    chhup ke baiThī hai ajal jis meñ vo besha hai

    jaan le apne āshiq jo vo tesha hai

    tere piine se to sartān andesha hai

    jo tujhe muñh se lagā.eñge lahū thūkeñge

    aur bhī chīzoñ ke kash lene se kab chūkeñge

    sulh in donoñ āḳhir meñ karā.ī maiñ ne

    paan meñ Daal ke tambākū bhī khaa.ī maiñ ne

    lab se cigarette ke jo chiñgārī uḌaa.ī maiñ ne

    sher aur fikr sham.a us se jalā.ī maiñ ne

    paan se maiñ ne kahā shaan tirī baalā hai

    hai nausha to ye cigarette tirā shahbālā hai

    cigarette ne ye ek pan ke biDe se kaha

    tu hamesha se pari-ruon ke jhurmuT mein raha

    kaun si aisi hain KHidmat teri besh-baha

    KHun-baha kyun lab-o-dandan-e-hasinan se liya

    tujh mein kya lal lage hain ki tu itraata hai

    be-hijabana har ek bazm mein aa jata hai

    cigarette se jo sune pan ne ye talKH suKHan

    bola KHamosh ki achchha nahin hasid ka chalan

    jalte rahne se dhuan ban ke miTa tera badan

    tu laga munh ko to ghaeb hui KHushbu-e-dahan

    kaghzi pairahan aur us pe tu fariyaadi hai

    KHud-ba-KHud ghussa mein jal jaane ka tu aadi hai

    is pe cigarette ne kaha pan se ye kya hai sitam

    chhanw mein palta hai aur tu hai baDa sabz qadam

    katthe, chune pe, Dali par tera qaem hai bharam

    tujh pe chandi ke waraq lipTen to kya hai tujhe gham

    KHas-danon ke muhafon mein safar karta hai

    raat din mah-jabinon mein basar karta hai

    pan bola ki jalata hai tu kyun qalb-o-jigar

    eshiyai main hun, maghrib ka hai tu saudagar

    kash tu apne gareban mein munh Dale agar

    tu wo be-bas hai ki machis ka jo ho dast-e-nigar

    aag barsane mein sari teri ranai hai

    aur ye chingari bhi bahar se kahin pai hai

    bola cigarette ki bashar shikwa-kunan hain tere

    dar-o-diwar pe paikon ke nishan hain tere

    jo lipstick mein hain wo jalwe kahan hain tere

    KHud to halka hai pa nuqsan giran hain tere

    na ghiza mein na dawa mein hai to phir kaun hai tu

    tu halaku hai ki taimur ki firaun hai tu

    pan kahne laga cigarette se ki iblis-e-lain

    teri tambaku se jati hai badan mein nicotine

    tujh se paida hue amraaz nihayat sangin

    be-tamiz itna ki mahfil mein jalae qalin

    rakh se teri bhari dekhte hain ashtray

    koi girne ko to gir jae par itna na gire

    jal ke KHud sab ko jila dena tera pesha hai

    chhup ke baiThi hai ajal jis mein tu wo besha hai

    jaan le apne hi aashiq ki jo wo tesha hai

    tere pine se to sartan ka andesha hai

    jo tujhe munh se lagaenge lahu thukenge

    aur bhi chizon ke kash lene se kab chukenge

    sulh in donon ki aaKHir mein karai main ne

    pan mein Dal ke tambaku bhi khai main ne

    lab se cigarette ke jo chingari uDai main ne

    sher aur fikr ki shama us se jalai main ne

    pan se main ne kaha shan teri baala hai

    tu hai nausha to ye cigarette tera shahbaala hai
