है ये बरसात वो मौसम कि अजब क्या है अगर मौज-ए-हस्ती को करे फ़ैज़-ए-हवा मौज-ए-शराब
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning

This rainy season is such a weather that it would be no wonder if the blessing of the pleasant breeze turns the wave of life into a wave of wine.

Explanation

In classical Urdu poetry, the monsoon arrives as an invitation to celebration, ecstasy, and sweet abandon. The poet suggests that the rain-soaked breeze possesses such transformative grace that ordinary existence itself feels tipsy with delight. It is not merely wine in a goblet, but the very current of life ('mauj-e-hasti') that turns into a wave of pure, intoxicating joy.
