  • 4. राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल | Alice in Wonderland, Philosophy of Compensations in Madhushala

    प्रियतम, तू मेरी हाला है, मैं तेरा प्यासा प्याला, अपने को मुझमें भरकर तू बनता है पीने वाला,

    मैं तुझको छक छलका करता, मस्त मुझे पी तू होता, एक दूसरे की हम दोनों आज परस्पर मधुशाला ।।३।

    And -

    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 ।।६।

    मृदु भावों के अंगूरों की आज बना लाया हाला,प्रियतम, अपने ही हाथों से आज पिलाऊँगा प्याला,

    पहले भोग लगा लूँ तेरा फिर प्रसाद जग पाएगा,सबसे पहले तेरा स्वागत करती मेरी मधुशाला.....

    --------------------------

    प्यास तुझे तो, विश्व तपाकर पूर्ण निकालूँगा हाला,एक पाँव से साकी बनकर नाचूँगा लेकर प्याला,

    जीवन की मधुता तो तेरे ऊपर कब का वार चुका,आज निछावर कर दूँगा मैं तुझ पर जग की मधुशाला.....

    बड़े-बड़े नाज़ों से मैंने पाली है साकीबाला, कलित कल्पना का ही इसने सदा उठाया है प्याला,

    मान-दुलारों से ही रखना इस मेरी सुकुमारी को, विश्व, तुम्हारे हाथों में अब सौंप रहा हूँ मधुशाला

  • 1. मधुशाला पहली बार, शिवाजी हाल | Madhushala's First Public Appearance

    You can read the full script on my blog by ⁠clicking here⁠.


    December 1933 - the very first public recitation of Madhushala, at Shivaji Hall – Kashi University and the magical effect it had on the audience. First day was common for several poets but by the end of the day, Madhushala became such a rage that everybody wanted a day dedicated only to Bachchan and his Madhushala – the poem had a mesmerizing effect on her audience. The chairperson of the event – Manoranjan Prasad ji even wrote several parodies, which were recited during the breaks. One such parody was –

    भूल गया तस्बीह नमाज़ी, पंडित भूल गया माला, चला दौर जब पैमानों का, मग्न हुआ पीनेवाला

    आज नशीली-सी कविता ने, सबको ही बदहोश किया, कवि बनकर महफ़िल में आई, चलती-फिरती मधुशाला!

    रूपसि, तूने सबके ऊपर, कुछ अजीब जादू डाला, नहीं खुमारी मिटती कहते, दो बस प्याले पर प्याला,

    कहाँ पड़े हैं, किधर जा रहे, है इसकी परवाह नहीं, यही मनाते हैं, इनकी आबाद रहे यह मधुशाला!

    भर-भर कर देता जा, साक़ी मैं कर दूँगा दीवाला, अजब शराबी से तेरा भी, आज पड़ा आकर पाला,

    लाख पिएँ, दो लाख पिएँ, पर कभी नहीं थकनेवाला, अगर पिलाने का दम है तो, जारी रखें यह मधुशाला।
