    zindagī cigarette

    tumhāre saath piine ḳhātir

    maiñ nai apne sochne salāhiyat

    tumhāre naam kar thī

    aur vo tamām makhoTe

    tumhāre kamre meñ sajā diye the

    jinheñ tum nai umar bhar

    shikār kiyā thā

    maiñ apnī saarī ḳhushbueñ

    ḳharch kar ke

    tumhārā puurā dard ḳharīd rahī thī

    lekin tum nai ā.ankhoñ par nahīñ

    dimāġh par bhī paTTī bāñdh rakhī thī

    saḌak hādse ke ba.ad

    merā plastar chaḌhte samay

    jo tum ne ek lamhe ko

    apnī ā.ankhoñ paTTī khol thī

    tumhārā sar jhuk gayā thā

    mujhe ma.alūm thā maiñ tumheñ kho dūñgī

    jo kho jaatā hai

    us ke khone afsos gāñTh ban jaatā hai

    maiñ agarche hil nahīñ saktī thī

    sochne se mahrūm nahīñ thī

    aur duniyā sochne se ibārat hai

    merī āñkheñ suuj ga.ī thiiñ band nahīñ thiiñ

    aur kānoñ meñ vo sab āvāzeñ aa rahī thiiñ

    jab tum mere hāfize ke maflūj ho jaane elaan kar rahe the

    maiñ dekh rahī thī

    log tumhārī taraf mutavajjah hue the

    lekin tumhāre dimāġh pe lagā.ī hui paTTī

    sab ko nazar aa ga.ī thī

    tum jaan lo ki duniyā sochne se ibārat hai

    ab zindagī cigarette sirf maiñ piyūñgī

    aur tum cigarette raakh tarah

    merī uñgliyoñ se jhaḌte rahoge

    zindagi ki cigarette

    tumhaare sath pine ki KHatir

    main nai apne sochne ki salahiyat

    tumhaare nam kar di thi

    aur wo tamam makhoTe

    tumhaare kamre mein saja diye the

    jinhen tum nai umar bhar

    shikar kiya tha

    main apni sari KHushbuen

    KHarch kar ke

    tumhaara pura dard KHarid rahi thi

    lekin tum nai aaankhon par hi nahin

    dimagh par bhi paTTi bandh rakhi thi

    saDak hadse ke baad

    mera plastar chaDhte samay

    jo tum ne ek lamhe ko

    apni aaankhon ki paTTi khol di thi

    tumhaara sar jhuk gaya tha

    mujhe malum tha main tumhein kho dungi

    jo kho jata hai

    us ke khone ka afsos ganTh ban jata hai

    main agarche hil nahin sakti thi

    sochne se mahrum nahin thi

    aur duniya sochne se ibarat hai

    meri aankhen suj gai thin band nahin thin

    aur kanon mein wo sab aawazen aa rahi thin

    jab tum mere hafize ke mafluj ho jaane ka elan kar rahe the

    main dekh rahi thi

    log tumhaari taraf mutawajjah hue the

    lekin tumhaare dimagh pe lagai hui paTTi

    sab ko nazar aa gai thi

    tum jaan lo ki duniya sochne se ibarat hai

    ab zindagi ki cigarette sirf main piyungi

    aur tum cigarette ki rakh ki tarah

    meri ungliyon se jhaDte rahoge
