जन्नत
jannat
ArabicMeaning
Jannat is the Arabic/Islamic word for paradise or heaven, derived from 'janna' (جنّة) meaning a garden. It entered Urdu and subsequently Hindi as the common word for a blissful afterlife. In poetry, jannat is used both literally and figuratively — as the ultimate destination of the soul or as a metaphor for supreme happiness. The lyricist's request to take a bottle of wine to jannat is a playful, irreverent subversion of religious solemnity.
Etymology
