नशा के धाम की ओर, मस्ती के मुकाम की ओर, निगाह है कि रहती है सदा जाम की ओर।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning

The gaze always remains fixed on the cup, leading it towards the abode of intoxication and the destination of ecstasy.

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks of a continuous, irresistible craving. The poet, Amrut Ghayal, suggests that the pursuit of intoxication—whether it's the thrill of life or the escape offered by wine—is never directed at the destination itself. Instead, the entire focus, the gaze, is fixed solely on the 'jam' (the cup). It speaks to a state of perpetual longing and immersion in the moment, where the journey is only appreciated through the vessel that holds the pleasure.
