Neither is the tongue a ghazal's tongue, nor is it aware from the tongue; whether it be Azmi's sweet voice, or a fresh, new sound.
This profound couplet suggests that the speaker's feelings are too vast and deep to be contained by the established art of poetry. They declare that their tongue is unfamiliar with the 'language of ghazal.' It implies that the truth of the heart speaks a language beyond mere words, a resonance that transcends the beauty of any voice, whether that voice is newly discovered or deeply familiar.
