1/4: alfaaz

chand alfaaz ke moti hain

mere daaman mein

magar teri mohabbat ka

taqaaza kuchh aur

i hold a few pearl-like

words in my lap

but the demands of your love

are something else entirely

2/4: alfaaz

ghazal mein bandish-e-alfaaz

hi nahi kaafi

jigar ka khoon bhi chaahiye

kuch asar ke liye

just a string of words is

not enough to make a poem

you also need a drop

of your heart's blood for it to last

3/4: alfaaz

nahi alfaaz me nazaakat

mujhe urdu nahi aati

karu kaise mohabbat?

mujhe urdu nahi aati

no elegance in my words

as i don’t know urdu

how do i love?

if i don’t know urdu

4/4: alfaaz

jazbaat ki hujuum mein

alfaaz kho gaye

izhaar-e-muddaa ki

ijaazat agar mili

in the throng of emotions

i lost my words

when i was allowed

to express my desire
