Haribans Rai Bachchan Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Haribans Rai bachchan,
You praise not daru
After the death of your beloved wife
That I too shall start taking wine,
Moving in the company of drunkard friends
And emptying the bottles
Of native and foreign liquor bottles.

Your Madhushala is not a sweet honey house,
But an ale house,
A bar shop
And after taking wine
I lie in here
With the mouth fresher in my mouth,
Unable to stand on feet,
So much drunk lie I here.

Everybody praises it eh drunkards,
But supports them
And their families,
Say you,
You too did not, Haribans,
Haribans Rai Bachchan,
To coax to take wine,
Everybody can do it,
But who to see them really?
