Shaikh Ji Aao Musalla Giro Jaam Karo — Mir Taqi Mir
शैख़ जी आओ मुसल्ला गिरो जाम करो
जिंस तक़्वा के तईं सिर्फ़ मय-ए-ख़ाम करो
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
O Sheikh, come and pour the cup at the musalla; pour only the wine of the raw spirit (or the unrefined) from the cup of Taqwa.
Explanation
This powerful couplet is a defiant plea to a spiritual guide (Sheikh). The speaker is telling the Sheikh to abandon the pretense of piety and instead indulge in pure, intoxicating pleasure. Mir Taqi Mir is rejecting the strict rules of religious observance, arguing that true spirituality lies in the raw, unfiltered experience of life and passion, not in fear or restraint.
