Saaqi
You brought me rain
How long will you stay?
Will you come to the tavern
And fill up these empty glasses?
Lucknow, India
Note: I was always intrigued by this Urdu word "Saaqi" which literary means wine-provider. Also, symbolically it refers to the Beloved and God. So, tried a very short poem using this particular word (though unable to touch the deep meaning of the word).
