एहसान सर पे लग़्ज़िश-ए-मस्ताना का हुआ हम दो क़दम न जा सके मय-ख़ाना छोड़ कर
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

I am indebted to the stumble caused by my drunkenness, because after leaving the tavern, I could not even walk two steps away.

Explanation

Here, the poet playfully and tenderly turns a drunken stumble into a blessing in disguise. He tries to leave the tavern—a metaphor for the intoxicating sanctuary of love—but his unsteady footing betrays him, keeping him anchored exactly where his heart longs to remain. It is a delightful surrender to passion, showing how our so-called weaknesses are often just the heart's clever excuse to never walk away from what it loves.
