About the author
This nazm is by Akbar Allahabadi (1846-1921), born Akbar Hussain Rizvi in Bara Banki and later settled in Allahabad. He is a celebrated Urdu satirist known for his light, witty verse poking fun at the clash between old customs and new (English-influenced) fashions. 'Aamon ki Farmaish' is a short, mischievous nazm in which the poet asks a friend to skip any letter or message and simply send mangoes instead.
Summary
भावार्थ: शायर कहते हैं - दोस्त कोई ख़त या पैग़ाम न भेजे, इस मौसम में जो भी भेजे बस आम भेज दे।
Meaning: the poet says - let my friend send no letter or message at all; whatever he sends this season, let him just send mangoes.
भावार्थ: वे आम ऐसे हों कि रखकर खाए जा सकें; अगर पूरी तरह पके हुए (पन्ने) न हों, तो कम-से-कम दस कच्चे (ख़ाम) आम ही भेज दे।
Meaning: let the mangoes be such that they can be kept and eaten; and if fully ripe ones aren't available, let him send at least ten raw/unripe ones instead.
भावार्थ: शायर कहते हैं - आपको मेरा पता तो मालूम ही है, सीधे इलाहाबाद मेरे नाम भेज दीजिए।
Meaning: the poet says - you already know my address, so just send them straight to Allahabad in my name.
भावार्थ: बस ऐसा न हो कि आप जवाब में यह लिख भेजें कि 'काम तो पूरा हो जाएगा, मगर पहले दाम (पैसे) भेज दो' - यही शायर की शरारती चुटकी है।
Meaning: only let it not happen that you write back saying 'it will be done, but send the payment first' - this is the poet's playful, teasing punchline.
