O Zafar, change the refrain and recite that ghazal again, of which every single couplet composed by you turned out to be an exceptional selection.
In this charming couplet filled with artistic pride, Zafar talks to his own inner poet, urging himself to breathe new life into a celebrated ghazal by simply changing its refrain (radeef). It reflects a creator's joy in his own craft, remembering a creation so pristine that every single verse was chosen as a masterpiece. The thought here is that great art never truly grows old; with just a fresh melodic twist, timeless beauty can enchant the heart all over again.
