1/5: zabaan

kaun kahta hai

mohabbat ki zabaan hoti hai

ye haqeeqat to

nigaahon se bayaan hoti hai

who says that love

is expressed through words

the truth is it is

signaled through the eyes

2/5: zabaan

zabaan hamaari na samjha

yahaan koi 'majrooh'

hum ajnabi ki tarah

apne hi watan mein rahe

no one here, ‘majrooh’,

understands what i say

i remain a stranger

in my own land

3/5: zabaan

apni zabaan se kuchh na kahenge

chup hi rahenge aashiq log

tum se to itna ho sakta hai

poochho haal bechaaron ka

they won’t open their mouths

those who love you will say nothing

if it is possible for you, at least

ask the condition of the poor souls

4/5: zabaan

yaa-rab, vo na samjhe hai

na samjhenge meri baat

de aur dil un ko

jo na de mujh ko zabaan aur

oh god, she doesn’t understand me

nor will she ever

either give her another heart

or give me more eloquence

5/5: zabaan

avval to thoDi thoDi

chaahat thi darmiyaan mein

phir baat kehte

luknat aane lagi zabaan mein

at first, there was a

a little fondness between us

and then, i started to stutter

when i spoke to her
