This is Farsi Couplet of Khusrau,the complete couplet is

Zabaan-e yaar-e mun Turkie, wa mun Turkie nami daanum,
Che khush boodi agar boodi zabaanash dar dahanay mun.

Meaning

My beloved speaks Turkish, and Turkish I do not know;
How I wish if her tongue would have been in my mouth.

its a play on words (zabaan= language, tongue) it means:

My sweetheart's language (tongue) is turkish, And I do not know Turkish
How good it would be if her tongue (language) was in my mouth!

Is anyone sure about the last two words? I read the urdu attachment and it reads dahaan-i man, why doesn't he use dahaanam (same meaning) so that it would rhyme with nemidaanam?
