کہا تصویر نے تصویر گر سےنمائش ہے مری تیرے ہنر سے

Kaha Tasveer Ne Tasweer Gar SeNumaish Hai Meri Tere Hunar Se

Said the portrait to its Painter:“My manifestation attests to Thine unbounded Skill;

ولیکن کس قدر نا منصفی ہےکہ تو پوشیدہ ہو میری نظر سے!

Wa Lekin Kis Qaddar Na-Munsafi HaiKe Tu Poshida Ho Meri Nazar Se!

And yet what a violation of justice it is thatThou shouldst remain hid from my sight!

مصور

گراں ہے چشم بینا دیدہ ور پرجہاں بینی سے کیا گزری شرر پر!

Garan Hai Chasm-E-Bina Didah Wer ParJahan Beeni Se Kya Guzri Sharar Par!

The vision endowed to those that observe find it oppressive:See for thyself how the spark burnt itself out when it saw the world!

نظر، درد و غم و سوز و تب و تابتو اے ناداں، قناعت کر خبر پر

Nazar Dard-o-Gham-o-Souz-o-Tab-o-TaabTu Ae Nadan, Qana’at Kar Khabar Par

What aught is sight but sadness, gloom, feverishness and self‐torment:Rest, or thou ignorant (of the mysteries), upon report.

تصویر

خبر، عقل و خرد کی ناتوانینظر، دل کی حیات جاودانی

Khabar, Aqal-o-Kirad Ki NatawaniNazar, Dil Ki Hayat Javedani

What aught is report but the impotence of ratiocination and wisdom?Vision is the eternal springtide of life.

نہیں ہے اس زمانے کی تگ و تاز'سزاوار حدیث 'لن ترانی

Nahin Hai Iss Zamane Ki Tag-o-TaazSazawar-e-Hadees-e-'Lan Tarani'

The hustle and the bustle of the present age does not permit oneTo express oneself melodiously.

مصور

تو ہے میرے کمالات ہنر سےنہ ہو نومید اپنے نقش گر سے

Tu Hai Mere Kamalat-e-Hunar SeNa Ho Naumeed Apne Naqsh Gar Se

Thou doth exist because the Perfection of My Art.Do not, then, feel cast out in disappointment with Him that hath drawn thee.

مرے دیدار کی ہے اک یہی شرطکہ تو پنہاں نہ ہو اپنی نظر سے

Mere Didar Ki Hai Ek Yehi SharatKe Tu Pinhan Na Ho Apni Nazar Se

I only put one condition if thou wishest to see Me:Never disappear from thine own sight.
