Urdu Love Words Definition

Gulzar saab expresses his love for the Urdu zabaan, at the 70th Birthday celebrations of the late Jagjit Singh. Thank you Gulzar saab for giving us so many more reasons to keep loving this language.

Absolutely beautiful poetry by Gulzar saab below:

Yeh kaisa ishq hai Urdu zabaan ka, Yeh kaisa ishq hai Urdu zabaan ka

Mazaa ghulta hai lafzon ka zabaan par, ki jaise paan mein mehenga kimaam ghulta hai

Yeh kaisa ishq hai Urdu zabaan ka..

Nasha aata hai Urdu bolne mein

Gilauri ki tarah hai mooh lagi sab istalaahe, lutf deti hai

Halaq chhuti hai Urdu toh, halaq se, jaise, mai ka ghoot utarta hai

Badi aristocracy hai zabaan mein

Fakiri mein nawabi ka mazaa deti hai Urdu

Agarche maani kam hoti hai Urdu mein

Alfaaz ki yeh farhaat hoti hai

magar phir bhi, Bulund awaaz padhiye toh bahut hee mohatabar lagti hai baatein

Kahin kuch door se kaano mein padti hai agar Urdu,

Toh lagta hai ke din jaado ke hai, khidki khuli hai, dhoop andar aa rahi hai

Ajab hai yeh zabaan, Urdu

Kabhi yunhi safar karte, agar koi musafir sher padh de Meer, Ghalib ka

Woh chahe ajnabi ho, yahi lagta hai woh mere watan ka hai

Badi shaista lehje mein kisi se Urdu sun kar

Kya nahi lagta ke ek tehzeeb ki awaaz hai, Urdu

A very loose English translation is below, though we must agree that a lot of the essence is truly lost in translation. Here is a feeble attempt:

What is this love with the Urdu language,

The beauty of the words mix together into the language, as if, some premium fragrant paste is being mixed into a betel-leaf

What is this love with the Urdu language,

There is a feeling of intoxication when speaking Urdu..

Like when a ready made betel-leaf touches the mouth, there is a sense of beauty and grace

When Urdu touches the throat, it is as if, a sip of wine is soothes the throat

There is tremendous aristocracy in the Urdu language

In a state of penury, it gives one a feeling of royalty

In case the words appear meaningless, in Urdu, there is the cheerfulness of the words

Yet still, if one reads it in a loud clear voice, there is a romance to the language

If, from somewhere afar, Urdu words float to one’s ears

It seems as if, in days of winter, the windows are open, and the sun is shining through

Mystical is this language, Urdu.
