Here's something to keep this blog alive:

Is mehfil-e-kaif-o-masti mein, is anjuman-e-irfani mein,
Sab jaam-ba-kaf baithe hi rahe, ham pii bhi gaye, chalka bhi gaye.
- Majaz Lucknowi

kaif=joy; anjuman=gathering; irfan=knowledge, wisdom;
jaam-ba-kaf=holding the wine-glass in the hand

(At this happy party, at this joyful, eminent gathering,
While the others merely held their glasses, I drank a lot, and I spilled some too...)

Though I have'nt ever had occasion to feel quite like the poet feels above, I like the sher very much. I almost smirk with vicarious smugness whenever I think of it. Quite a wit, what?
