You can read the full script of this episode on ⁠Madhushala Blog here⁠.

In the previous episode, we shared a ‘shayarana’ banter between Ghalib, Iqbal, Faraz, et al. We also discussed the story of Professor Amarnath Jha, who was a mentor to Dr Bachchan and how he had decided about his last rituals even when he was alive. In this episode, let’s talk about the happiness and sorrow coming together in life.

पिछले अंक में हमने बात की थी मंदिर मस्जिद मदिरालय के बारे में नोकझोंक भरी कुछ शेरो-शायरी की – ग़ालिब, इकबाल, अहमद फराजआदि और बात की थी बच्चन जी के गुरु प्रोफेसर अमरनाथ झा की और उन्होंने अपनी मृत्यु के बारे में पहले से ही क्या तय कर लिया था! आज सुनते बातें सुख और दुख के साथ आने की -

सब मिट जाएँ, बना रहेगा सुन्दर साकी, यम काला, सूखें सब रस, बने रहेंगे, किन्तु, हलाहल औ' हाला,

धूमधाम औ' चहल पहल के स्थान सभी सुनसान बनें, जगा करेगा अविरत मरघट, जगा करेगी मधुशाला (22)

And -

बुरा सदा कहलायेगा जग में बाँका, चंचल प्याला, छैल छबीला, रसिया साकी, अलबेला पीनेवाला,

पटे कहाँ से, मधुशाला औ' जग की जोड़ी ठीक नहीं, जग जर्जर प्रतिदन, प्रतिक्षण, पर नित्य नवेली मधुशाला (23)

And -

एक बरस में, एक बार ही जगती होली की ज्वाला, एक बार ही लगती बाज़ी, जलती दीपों की माला,

दुनियावालों, किन्तु, किसी दिन आ मदिरालय में देखो, दिन को होली, रात दिवाली, रोज़ मनाती मधुशाला (26)
