ज़ाहिद शराब पीने दे मस्जिद में बैठकर
या वो जगह बता कि जहाँ पर ख़ुदा न हो
-ग़ालिब
zaahid sharaab piine de masjid mein baithkar
yaa vo jagah bataa ki jahaan par khudaa na ho
-Ghalib
O learned one, let me drink wine in the mosque
Else, show me a place not graced by the presence of god
English adaptation by Manish Modi
