I have drunk many drinks with the passage of time,
To forget grief and save the heart from decline,
A night came when The God responded with love,
And the angels gave me a goblet -- divine.
Sip after sip, I was made to take from the hosts,
Unseen they were but surely no ghosts,
Unlike the drinks I had gulped down before,
The divine drink came with heavenly toasts.
My senses did not numb nor did I feel,
Lost and confounded, I did not reel,
And falter like drunkards; I was relaxed, energized,
By the Cup of Mercy which contained heal.
Now my life has changed, for I know that my Lord,
The Almighty, loves me; has broken the chord,
Which had kept me fazed, confused, heart-broken,
The Divine Drink saved me, I'm chosen by The God.
Unlike Omar Khayyam*, Keats and Mirza Ghalib*,
Who sought solace with worldly drinks and glib,
I chose to give my whole self to The Maker,
The Unique One, Who breathed in Adam and his rib*,
