jab ho gaya kamal to cigarette jala liya
ya phir hua malal to cigarette jala liya

khud par kisi ko hansne ka mauqa nahin diya
puchha kisi ne haal to cigarette jala liya

sukhe gale se lafz ko lana tha zehn tak
jab aa gaya khayal to cigarette jala liya

ghusse mein khun ke ghunt to pita raha magar
aankhen huin jo lal to cigarette jala liya

achchhi nahin hai shai magar 'ahya' main kya karun
karna hai shukr-e-haal to cigarette jala liya
