रंग हवा से यूँ टपके है जैसे शराब चुवाते हैं
आगे हो मय-ख़ाने के निकलो अहद-ए-बादा-गुसाराँ है
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The color drips from the air as if wine is being sipped; now go to the tavern, for the era of wine-drinking has begun.
Explanation
Mir Taqi Mir captures the intoxicating essence of passion here. He says that the colors (of romance/intoxication) drip from the air, much like the act of sipping wine. And if you are to leave the tavern (the place of revelry), you must embrace the path of endless intoxication. It's a beautiful surrender to the madness of love, suggesting that once you taste passion, there is no turning back.
