jo duur rah ke uḌātā rahā mazāq mirā
qarīb aayā to royā gale lagā ke mujhe
jo dur rah ke uData raha mazaq mera
qarib aaya to roya gale laga ke mujhe
havā kā rañg nahīñ hai magar mizāj to hai
havā se dostī karnā koī mazāq nahīñ
hawa ka rang nahin hai magar mizaj to hai
hawa se dosti karna koi mazaq nahin
zindagī se mile hue ho tum
vo bhī mujh se mazāq kartī hai
zindagi se mile hue ho tum
wo bhi mujh se mazaq karti hai

‘Mazaaq’ isn’t just all about laughing out loud and rejoicing but also extends to the tastes of flavorsome delicacies! In Arabic, the words Mazaaq and Zauq also connote savoring or the sense of taste. That's why many restaurants are commonly named ‘Zaaiqa’. But these meanings aren’t just limited to the taste of good food, they are also used in the sense of one’s bent, interest, or penchant, especially the ability to finely parse art and poetry. As they say, “Wo She’r-o-Sukhan ka bahut ‘aala mazaaq rakhte hain.” That is, “He has a great taste for poetry.”, said for someone who is a connoisseur of poetry. ‘Mazaaq-e-Sukhan’ means one’s bent, taste, and grasp of poetry. Ra’naaii-e-Khayaal ko THahraa diyaa gunaah Wa’iz bhii kis qadar hai mazaaq-e-suKHan se duur The word ‘Ham-Mazaaq’ means those who share the same tastes and interests. Contrarily, ‘Bad-Mazaaq’ or ‘Bad-Zauq’, is used for those who have a bad taste or have mediocre or substandard interests.
