मधुशाला-बने पुजारी प्रेमी साकी, गंगाजल पावन हाला-Meaning


बने पुजारी प्रेमी साकीगंगाजल पावन हाला,
रहे फेरता अविरत गति से मधु के प्यालों की माला' 'और लिये जाऔर पीये जा',
इसी मंत्र का जाप करे'
मैं शिव की प्रतिमा बन बैठूंमंदिर हो यह मधुशाला।(Harivansh Rai Bachchan)
Literal Meaning-Lovers of wine be priests, Wine be like holy Water of river Ganjes, Priest rotate garland of glass of wine, chanting the mantra-take more drink more. I would become the idol of Lord/God Shiva, the wine House/shop would have Temples.
Actual Meaning-How nice it would have been, if every theist would be lover. And continuously would be dipped in intoxication of love, taking care of others, would have chanted the mantras of love only, then we ourselves would have become lord Shiva and the entire world/state/country would have become temple.
