अंगड़ाइयों में फैलते हैं बार बार हाथ शीशा की सम्त बढ़ते हैं बे-इख़्तियार हाथ
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

While stretching languidly, hands spread out again and again, and involuntarily reach towards the wine-flask.

Explanation

Picture that sweet, drowsy state where you stretch your arms in pure languor, half-lost in reverie. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary, innocent stretch, but the poet reveals a quiet, uncontrollable urge as the hands reach helplessly toward the wine flask. It speaks to a deep, visceral longing—whether for love, solace, or wine—that takes over the body before the conscious mind can even resist.
