sherKuch Alfaaz

kahan mai-khane ka darwaza 'ghaalib' aur kahan waiz par itna jaante hain kal wo jata tha ki hum nikle wherefrom the 'saintly' priest, and where the tavern's door but as i entered he was leaving, this much i do know ghalib uses wit and irony to expose the hypocrisy of religious figures who preach morality but practice vice in secret. by contrasting the supposed piety of the preacher with the sinfulness of the tavern, the poet reveals that while he admits his own faults openly (leaving the tavern), the 'holy' man was sneaking in when he thought no one was watching.
