i am not really sure what he is singing. he is singing about how his intoxicant reached him.
classical arabic, persian and urdu poetry speak of the use of intoxicants or the state of intoxication when referring to the beloved.
ghazal music is a type of music that follows certain traditional rhythmic patterns and melodic modes in classical indian music.
this song has a modernized taste to it, no pun intended.
Ok
The ghazal (Arabic/Persian/Urdu: غزل) is a poetic form with rhyming couplets and a refrain, each line sharing the same meter. A ghazal may be understood as a poetic expression of both the pain of loss or separation and the beauty of love in spite of that pain.

remember, there is "ghazal," which is a type of poetry, then there is also "ghazal," which is a type of genre in indian music.
so, ghazal music uses ghazal poetry.
Got it!
