1/3: guftaar

yuun ‘abroo’ banaave

dil mein hazaar baaten

jab ruu-ba-ruu ho

tere guftaar bhool jaave

what, abroo, you think of

a thousand things to say in your heart

but when face-to-face

you don’t remember anything to say

2/3: guftaar

jis bazm mein tu naaz se guftaar

mein aawe

jaan kaalbad-e-soorat-e-deewar

mein aawe

in the gathering where you come

speaking with grace

life takes form

and appears all around

3/3: guftaar

phir dekhiye

andaaz-e-gulafshaani-e-guftaar

rakh de koyi

paimaana-e-sahbaa mere aage

you watch

the style of my fun, flowery speech

after someone

places a glass of wine in front of me
