Zahid Na Kah Buri Ki Ye Mastane Aadmi Hain — Dagh Dehlvi
ज़ाहिद न कह बुरी कि ये मस्ताने आदमी हैं
तुझ को लिपट पड़ेंगे दीवाने आदमी हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
O pious ascetic, do not speak ill of these intoxicated ones, for they are madmen who might cling right onto you.
Explanation
Here, the poet offers a delightfully witty warning to the stern, self-righteous preacher: don't scold these intoxicated lovers. Unbound by social stiffness or malice, these ecstatic souls are so full of abandon that they might just rush over and pull the pious ascetic into a warm, wild hug. It is a playful reminder that boundless, overflowing love will always disarm cold, rigid dogma.
