Meri jeevan - Madhushala



मदिरालय जाने को घर से चलता है पीनेवाला
' किस पथ से जाऊँ? ' असमंजस में है वह भोलाभाला
अलग- अलग पथ बतलाते सब, पर मैं यह बतलाता हूँ -
' राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल, पा जाएगा मधुशाला ||


हाथों में आने से पहले नाज़ दिखाएगा प्याला
अधरों पर आने से पहले अदा दिखाएगी हाला
बहुतेरे इनकार करेगा साकी आने से पहले
पथिक, न घबरा जाना, पहले मान करेगी मधुशाला॥



यम आयेगा साकी बनकर साथ लिए काली हाला
पी न होश में फ़िर आएगा सुरा- विसुध यह मतवाला
यह अंतिम बेहोशी, अंतिम साकी, अंतिम प्याला है
पथिक, प्यार से पीना इसको फ़िर न मिलेगी मधुशाला॥




धर्मग्रन्थ सब जला चुकी है, जिसके अंतर की ज्वाला,
मंदिर, मसजिद, गिरिजे, सब को तोड़ चुका जो मतवाला,
पंडित, मोमिन, पादिरयों के फंदों को जो काट चुका,
कर सकती है आज उसी का स्वागत मेरी मधुशाला।।



मुसलमान औ' हिन्दू है दो, एक, मगर, उनका प्याला,
एक, मगर, उनका मदिरालय, एक, मगर, उनकी हाला,
दोनों रहते एक न जब तक मस्जिद मन्दिर में जाते,
बैर बढ़ाते मस्जिद मन्दिर मेल कराती मधुशाला!।


लिखी भाग्य में जितनी बस उतनी ही पाएगा हाला,
लिखा भाग्य में जैसा बस वैसा ही पाएगा प्याला,
लाख पटक तू हाथ पाँव, पर इससे कब कुछ होने का,
लिखी भाग्य में जो तेरे बस वही मिलेगी मधुशाला।



अपने युग में सबको अनुपम ज्ञात हुई अपनी हाला,
अपने युग में सबको अदभुत ज्ञात हुआ अपना प्याला,
फिर भी वृद्धों से जब पूछा एक यही उज्ञल्तऌार पाया -
अब न रहे वे पीनेवाले, अब न रही वह मधुशाला!।



 This post i started to write yesterday when i happen to check my profile on orkut and just get mesmerized by the lines of 'Madhushala' (मधुशाला). These are some of my favorite lines from Madhushala.  I search for a video of Madhushala recited by none other than son of the famous poet who penned down these beautiful lines, Harivansha Rai Bachhan (He is the father of one of the bolllywood icons Amitabh Bachhan).
Not finding where did i save it i search it on youtube and was amazed to find that great Manna dey had sung entire  Madhushala. (I) can't express my delight to hear my favorite lines from one of my favorite singer. Madhushala is third in trilogy, the others being Madhubala (1936) & Madhukalash (1937). read about these on wiki.
  Listen to the great songs
songs by manna dey 1   Songs by Manna Dey 2
Other versions by manna Dey Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4
Recitation by Amitabh Bachhan
 For lyrics refer this site - Manaskriti

आज मिला अवसर, तब फ़िर क्यों मैं न छकूँ जी- भर हाला
आज मिला मौका, तब फ़िर क्यों ढाल न लूँ जी- भर प्याला
छेड़छाड़ अपने साकी से आज न क्यों जी- भर कर लूँ
एक बार ही तो मिलनी है जीवन की यह मधुशाला॥

Here goes one more... Telangana

Telangana 29th state
Rayalseema 30th
Bundelkhand 31st
Harit Pradesh 32nd
Vidarbha 33rd
Poorvanchal 34th...

How many states, darn it you want man!... isn't it enough?????
No idea, why it was a sad reaction when i came to know about the separation nod announced by P. Chidambaram. I  could see many of my colleagues from AP disappointed, now some of them belong to AP some from telangana and probably in a few days some from rayalseema.
 I have heard of all this outcry many a times. being from Bihar, i remember what the hell happened over Jharkhand and Bihar issue. feel this all sh*t happens due to these B*ll Sh*t , bloody Politicians. Apparently they can sell anybody just for money and all in the name of public interest.  Any way that's a separate issue.


  • "Andhra Pradesh should not be divided but if you are dividing it, form Greater Rayalaseema alongside Telangana and make coastal Andhra a separate state,"
  • 93 legislators and many MPs, cutting across party lines, resigned to protest the central government's decision
  • The move found backing from other parties, including from the principal opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). [ No surprise, in fact it was in their rule when Jharkhand, chattisgarh and uttarakhand were created]
  • "Telangana is a region that lies on the Deccan Plateau to the west of the Eastern Ghats range, and includes the northwestern interior districts of Warangal, Adilabad, Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Rangareddi, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Medak, and Andhra Pradesh capital, Hyderabad. The Krishna and Godavari rivers flow through the region from west to east.The quest for a separate Telangana state has been on since 1956, and was intensified after 1969." -Topnews.in
AP-Telangana-Rayalseema (seems possible, if few MPs sit for another hunger strike). Also there will be definite rise in hunger strikes and similar kind of Pseudo- gandhi Stuffs from Bundelkhand, gorkhaland, harit pradesh and many more. And 'No surprises' if in near future, demand for separate Nation arise. Hyderabad remains in doldrums. Some leaders from parties have proposed to declare Hyderabad a Union Territory. Darn it man! Are you people out of your mind...

PS: On the flip side read about Telangana here at Wiki Link and stats here
