hath chadh jaiyo ai shaikh kisu ke na kabhu launde sab tere kharidar hain maikhane ke meer taqi meer uses biting satire to warn the outwardly pious “sheikh” about his hidden vulnerability. “hand being put on someone” suggests getting trapped, controlled, or exposed. the “boys of the tavern” as his “buyers” implies he is already for sale—his desires make him purchasable and manipulable. the couplet mocks hypocrisy: moral preaching collapses when temptation arrives.
