mai shaayar to nahi
mai shaayar to nahi, magar ai hasi
jabse dekha maine tujhko, mujhko shayari aa gai
mai shaayar to nahi, magar ai hasi
jabse dekha maine tujhko, mujhko shayari aa gai
mai aashiq to nahi, magar ai hasi
jabse dekha maine tujhko, mujhko aashiqi, aa gai
mai shaayar to nahi

pyaar kaa naam maine suna tha magar
pyaar kya hai ye mujhko nahi thi khabar
pyaar kaa naam maine suna tha magar
pyaar kya hai ye mujhko nahi thi khabar
mai to uljha raha uljhano ki tarah
dosto me raha dushmano ki tarah
mai dushman to nahi
mai dushman to nahi, magar ai hasi
jabse dekha maine tujhko, mujhko dosti aa gai
mai shaayar to nahi

sochata hu agar mai dua maangata
haath apne uthakar mai kya maangata
sochata hu agar mai dua maangata
haath apne uthakar mai kya maangata
jab se tujhse muhabbat mai karne laga
tab se aise ibaadat mai karne laga
mai qaafir to nahi
mai qaafir to nahi, magar ai hasi
jabse dekha maine tujhko, mujhko bandagi aa gai
mai shaayar to nahi, magar ai hasi
jabse dekha maine tujhko, mujhko shayari aa gai
mai shaayar to nahi

I am no poet, truly, no,
Yet lovely one, since seeing you,
Poetry has bloomed in me.
I am no poet, truly, no,
Yet lovely one, since seeing you,
Poetry has come to me.
I am no lover, no, my dear,
Yet since I saw you, love has sprung.
I am no poet, truly, no.

Of love I’d heard, a whispered name,
But knew not love's consuming flame.
Of love I’d heard, a whispered name,
But knew not love's consuming flame.
I tangled, lost in knots of doubt,
A foe amongst friends, casting out.
I am no foe, in truth, no.
I am no foe, yet lovely one,
Since seeing you, friendship arose.
I am no poet, truly, no.

I ponder, if I were to pray,
My hands raised, what would I say?
I ponder, if I were to pray,
My hands raised, what would I say?
Since I began to love your face,
My worship found a holy space.
I am no non-believer, no.
I am no non-believer, yet,
Since seeing you, devotion dawned.
I am no poet, truly, no,
Yet lovely one, since seeing you,
Poetry has bloomed in me.
I am no poet, truly, no.
