Hujoom Kyun Hai Ziyada Sharab-khane Mein — Allama Iqbal
हुजूम क्यूँ है ज़ियादा शराब-ख़ाने में
फ़क़त ये बात कि पीर-ए-मुग़ाँ है मर्द-ए-ख़लीक़

Meaning
Why is the crowd so large in the tavern, only because the Beloved is the Man of Creation?
Explanation
This profound couplet asks a rhetorical question: Why is there such a crowd in the tavern? The answer, according to the poet, is simple—because the man is a master of intoxication, a representative of the Creator. It speaks to the universal attraction of spiritual ecstasy and divine intoxication. The 'tavern' isn't just for wine; it symbolizes the realm of spiritual knowledge or divine love, which draws everyone in.
