mai-kade ki taraf chala zahid
subh ka bhula sham ghar aaya
the priest now proceeds towards the tavern's door
to the true path returns he who strayed before
Kaleem Aajiz
zindagi nam isi mauj-e-mai-e-nab ka hai
mai-kade se jo uThe dar-o-rasan tak pahunche
Kamal Ahmad Siddiqi
guzre hain mai-kade se jo tauba ke baad hum
kuchh dur aadatan bhi qadam Dagmagae hain
Khumar Barabankavi
mai-kada jal raha hai tere baghair
dil mein chhaale hain aabgine ke
Lala Madhav Ram Jauhar
dur se aae the saqi sun ke mai-KHane ko hum
bas taraste hi chale afsos paimane ko hum
Nazeer Akbarabadi
sarak kar aa gain zulfen jo in maKHmur aankhon tak
main ye samjha ki mai-KHane pe badli chhai jati hai
Nushur Wahidi
nikal kar dair-o-kaba se agar milta na mai-KHana
to Thukrae hue insan KHuda jaane kahan jate
if on leaving temple,mosque no tavern were be found
what refuge would outcasts find? this only God would know
Qateel Shifai
