Madhur bhaavnaaon ki sumadhur
nitya banaataa hoon haalaa
bhartaa hoon is madhu se apne
antar kaa pyaasaa pyaalaa;
uthha kalpanaa ke haathon se
svayam use pee jaataa hoon;
apne hee mein hoon main saakee,
peenewaalaa, madhushaalaa
Bachchan establishes his credibility here; after all, he has declared very ambitious intentions - he has said that while being entertaining, he was going to tell the story of life itself.
In this rubaiya, Bachchan says that he constantly examines these questions within himself: without respite. Hence the use of the word "nitya"; he is forever a student of life, and therefore worthy of commenting on it.
The last two lines are extremely beautiful: he says that he is the bar-girl, the drinker, and the tavern, all rolled into one.
