We should spend time in the abode of love, for some grace remains there; / The lips of the beloved are like a kebab, and the wine of the parents. (Meaning: We should spend time in the realm of love because some divine grace is still present there. The beloved's lips are compared to a kebab, and the parents' essence/wine is mentioned.)
This profound couplet captures the intoxicating world of the tavern (May-qadda), which serves as an allegory for the state of intense love. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that since some blessed escape remains in the tavern, they should spend time there. The second line is a breathtaking metaphor: the beloved's lips are described as a delectable 'kebab,' and the mere breath of the beloved is intoxicating wine. It’s a powerful ode to surrender to the madness of love.
