1 Urdu couplets and shers with maikashi
maikashi(f): drinking
Description of maikashi: Maikashi is an Urdu noun referring to the act of drinking wine or alcohol, often denoting indulgence in liquor. Unlike mere consumption for intoxication, it evokes a cultured or ritualistic enjoyment of wine. Differs from everyday drunkenness by implying a poetic or hedonistic pursuit of ecstasy through drink. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes mystical rapture, as in couplets where nightly revelry mirrors divine nights.
1 / 1: maikashi
us ne jo pher li nazar
main ne bhi jaam rakh diya
even in the intensity of thirst
my dignity of drinking remained
when she turned her face away
i too put down my cup
