Kuchh Soojhta Nahin Hai Masti Mein Mir-ji Ko / Karte Hain Poch-goyi — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
In their intoxication, 'Mir'-ji cannot understand what mischief is done by drinking wine.
Explanation
This couplet captures the beautiful confusion that comes with deep intoxication. The poet, Mir Taqi Mir, is observing a scene of revelry—a gathering of people drunk on wine. He notes that even in this state of bliss, he cannot comprehend the specific games or antics ('poch-goyi') they are engaging in. It speaks to a feeling of being overwhelmed by the moment, where the joy is so intense that the details of reality become utterly blurred.
