Kuchh Kam Nahin Hain Shobda-baazon Se May-gusaar — Mir Taqi Mir
कुछ कम नहीं हैं शोबदा-बाज़ों से मय-गुसार
दारू पिला के शैख़ को आदम से ख़र किया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
The wine-givers among the tavern-rovers are not few; they made the sheikh abandon his god through wine.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks about the subtle art of deception and wit. Mir Taqi Mir compares the skill of the clever showmen (showbda-baz) in consuming wine to an almost mythical feat: making the wise Sheikh drunk by Adam. It suggests that the masters of illusion and craft are incredibly skilled at making people believe what they are not. It is a commentary on the deceptive nature of worldly cleverness.
