Sher on Nasha

The idea and experience

of intoxication has been represented variously in poetry. It does not necessarily refer to a condition one reaches after consuming wine. In mystical poetry, intoxication is a state of rapport with the divine. In both the cases, intoxication is a higher state of being. Here are some verses on this experience.

chale to paañv ke nīche kuchal ga.ī koī shai

nashe jhoñk meñ dekhā nahīñ ki duniyā hai

chale to panw ke niche kuchal gai koi shai

nashe ki jhonk mein dekha nahin ki duniya hai

Shahab Jafri

itnī jaa.e ki miT jaa.e maiñ aur tamīz

yaanī ye hosh dīvār girā jaa.e

the formality of you and I should in wine be drowned

meaning that these barriers of sobriety be downed

itni pi jae ki miT jae main aur tu ki tamiz

yani ye hosh ki diwar gira di jae

the formality of you and I should in wine be drowned

meaning that these barriers of sobriety be downed

Farhat Shahzad

na tum hosh meñ ho na ham hosh meñ haiñ

chalo mai-kade meñ vahīñ baat hogī

neither are you in your senses nor am I in mine

let us now go to the tavern and talk while we have wine

na tum hosh mein ho na hum hosh mein hain

chalo mai-kade mein wahin baat hogi

neither are you in your senses nor am I in mine

let us now go to the tavern and talk while we have wine

Bashir Badr

ḳhushk bātoñ meñ kahāñ hai shaiḳh kaif-e-zindagī

vo to kar milegā jo mazā piine meñ hai

o priest where is the pleasure in this world when dry and sere

tis only when one drinks will then the joy truly appear

wo to pi kar hi milega jo maza pine mein hai

o priest where is the pleasure in this world when dry and sere

tis only when one drinks will then the joy truly appear
