Here are two lines of poetry in Urdu, and I'm linking every single word in both lines to its entry in a standard Urdu-English dictionary:
tum mire paas hote ho goyaa
jab ko'ii duusraa nahiiN hotaa
My question: Does that make the lines intelligible to someone who doesn't speak Urdu?
The lines are famous btw :) they are by Maumin KhaaN "Maumin" ... here is AKhtarii Baa'ii singing a different famous Ghazal of Maumin.
