Madhushala Verse #2: If you'll listen...

pyaas tujhe to, vishw tapaakar poorn nikaaloonga haala,
ek paaon se saaqi bankar nachoonga lekar pyaala
jeevan ki madhuta to tere oopar kab ka vaar chuka
aaj nichhaavar kar doonga main tujh par jag ki madhushaala

pyaas tujhe to.....if you wish to listen, says Bachchan. If you wish to listen, the poet wouldn't merely talk. He'd extract the entire wisdom of the ages and serve it like a bargirl. He will dance for you; he has already dedicated the beauty of life to you; now he will lay the universe at your feet.

I loved the line "jeevan ki madhuta to tere oopar kab ka vaar chuka" - the usage of "kab ka" here I feel enhances his genuinity when he says "nichhaavar kar doonga" in the very next line. The usage os "jeevan" in that line and "jag" in the next makes the reader feel how much more he bestows on us than what we already have in abundance ! beauty ! what do you think ?
