अक़ायद वहम है मज़हब ख़याल-ए-ख़ाम है साक़ी अज़ल से ज़हन-ए-इन्सां बस्त-ए-औहाम है साक़ी
हक़ीक़त-आशनाई अस्ल में गुम-कदर्ह-राही है उरूस-ए-आगही परवरदह-ए-अबहाम है साक़ी
मुबारक हो जाईफ़ी को ख़िरद की फ़लसफ़ादानी जवानी बेनियाज़-ए-इब्रत-ए-अन्जाम है साक़ी
अभी तक रास्ते के पेच-ओ-ख़म से दिल धड़कता है मेरा ज़ौक़-ए-तलब शायद अभी तक ख़ाम है साक़ी
वहाँ भेजा गया हूँ चाक करने पर्दे-ए-शब को जहाँ हर सुबह के दामन पे अक्स-ए-शाम है साक़ी

Paired Painting
The Saki
This exquisite oil painting is the work of Mahadev Vishwanath Dhurandhar, a legendary figure of the Bombay School who served as the first Indian director of the Sir J.J. School of Art. While some automated search results mistakenly identify this subject as Turkish, the artist's unmistakable signature and the specific cultural markers, such as the bindi and the style of the jewelry, confirm its Indian origin. The subject is the Saki, the wine bearer, a figure of great romantic and spiritual significance in Indian and Persian literature. Dhurandhar captures her in a moment of absolute stillness: the world seems to quieten as the liquid flows from the dark earthen vessel into the glass. The artist uses a palette of warm, grounded tones to highlight the luminosity of her garment, creating a contrast that feels both earthy and ethereal. It is a tribute to the dignity of the female form and the poetic beauty found in simple, everyday gestures.
