While we started with a story from Armenia last episode, this time we are going to Tashkent (Uzbekistan) and how this trip turned out to be a perfect gift for the poet of Madhushala. When Madhushala was translated in Russian – the title meant a bouquet of colors and the poem has all sorts of Roop, Rang, Ras, Gandh in her spirit.
\nचित्रकार बन साकी आता लेकर तूली का प्याला
\nAnd there is music in its poetry: पान कराती श्रोतागण को, झंकृत वीणा मधुशाला
\nThen we talk about how Madhushala is above and beyond all sorts of divisions, like in these two lines
\nमिले न मंदिर, मिले न मस्जिद, मिल जाती है मधुशाला
\nOr
\nचिर विधवा है मस्जिद तेरी, सदा सुहागिन मधुशाला
\nOn the same topic of Mandir, Masjid – we also take a cue from Ghalib –
\nज़ाहिद शराब पीने दे मस्जिद में बैठ कर, या वो जगह बता दे जहाँ पर ख़ुदा न हो
