shayar to nahi hu lekin shayar to nahi hu lekin
shayar ki nazar payi hai wo bat kahe deta hu
jo bat nazar aayi hai shayar to nahi hu lekin

sawan tere rup ki masti badal teri zulf ka saya
tere hotho ki muskane phulo ka hai sharmaya
ye chand ka ghatna badna teri hi to angdayi hai
wo bat kahe deta hu jo bat nazar aayi hai
shayar to nahi hu lekin

tere bol hai mithe nagme khamoshi rangin fasana
jagi jagi si palko me khawab hai koi diwana
kadmo me haya ne tere zanzir si pehnayi hai
wo bat kahe deta hu jo bat nazar aayi hai
shayar to nahi hu lekin

chehara jaise nur ka dariya aanchal hai ek bahta dhara
aaj meri nazro me jaise jannat ka hai nazara
kya husn mila hai tujhko kya tune ada payi hai
wo bat kahe deta hu jo bat nazar aayi hai
shayar to nahi hu lekin shayar ki nazar payi hai
wo bat kahe deta hu jo bat nazar aayi hai
shayar to nahi hu lekin

I am no poet, though a poet's gaze I've found,
And speak the truths my heart has often unbound.
I am no poet.

The monsoon's grace, your form, a wild delight,
The clouds, your tresses, veiled in shadowy light.
Your lips' soft smiles, shy blossoms taking hold,
The moon's slow dance, your very story told.
I speak the truths my heart has often unbound.
I am no poet.

Your voice, sweet songs, in silence, stories gleam,
In waking eyes, a lover's hopeful dream.
Modesty's chains, your footsteps gently bind.
I speak the truths my heart has often unbound.
I am no poet.

Your face, a river flowing with pure light,
Your veil, a current, flowing day and night.
My eyes behold a heaven, newly born,
What beauty given, what grace your soul has worn.
I speak the truths my heart has often unbound.
I am no poet, though a poet's gaze I've found,
And speak the truths my heart has often unbound.
I am no poet.
