Saqi
The figure of saqi is an alien one in today’s world as he has been replaced by the bartender in a bar. In the olden days, saqi was the one who epitomised the institution of tavern and his eyes were more intoxicating than the glasses full of wine. In the classical poetry he represented a tradition and an institution. This selection will introduce you to the most interesting figure of saqi as represented in Urdu poetry.

ruuh kis mast ki pyasi gai mai-khane se mai udi jaati hai saaqi tire paimane se
the poet wonders how anyone could depart unsatisfied from the wine-house—suggesting an intense, almost spiritual thirst. in the second line, he flatters the saqi: the cup (and the saqi’s charm) is so powerful that wine cannot stay in it, as if it vanishes instantly. wine and tavern stand for pleasure and mystical ecstasy, while thirst points to an unending desire that no amount can fully quench.
