This one's from Madhushaala by Dr. Harivanshrai Bachchan.
madiralay jaane ko ghar se chalta hai peene wala
kis path se jaaoon asmanjas mein hai vo bhola-bhala
alag alag path batlaate sab, par main ye batlata hoon
raah pakad tu ek chala chal, paa jaaega madhushala
works for me when i reflect upon madiralay, madira and madhushaala beyond their obvious references.
obviously it wasn't written with obvious meanings in mind, but then if that is obvious does that make the "actual" meanings obvious too? go figure ;-)
