1/2: Javed Jalali

kya thi hamaari mohabbat

aur ab kya ho gayi hai

mashuqa ke liye seekhi urdu

urdu mashuqa ho gayi hai

what was our love

and what has it now become?

i learned urdu for my beloved

urdu has now become my beloved

2/2: Javed Jalali

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
