کھلا جب چمن ميں کتب خانہء گل

English title: When flowers’ bookshop opened in the garden

Translations
کھلا جب چمن ميں کتب خانہء گلنہ کام آيا ملا کو علم کتابي
متانت شکن تھي ہوائے بہاراںغزل خواں ہوا پيرک اندرابي
کہا لالہ آتشيں پيرہن نےکہ اسرار جاں کي ہوں ميں بے حجابي
سمجھتا ہے جو موت خواب لحد کونہاں اس کي تعمير ميں ہے خرابي
نہيں زندگي سلسلہ روز و شب کانہيں زندگي مستي و نيم خوابي
حيات است در آتش خود تپيدنخوش آں دم کہ ايں نکتہ را بازيابي
اگر ز آتش دل شرارے بگيريتواں کرد زير فلک آفتابي
