جلوہء حسن
English title: THE MANIFESTATION OF BEAUTY
جلوہ حسن کہ ہے جس سے تمنا بے تابپالتا ہے جسے آغوش تخيل ميں شباب
Beauty's manifestation which gives restlessness to Longing | Which youth nurtures in its fancy's lap
ابدي بنتا ہے يہ عالم فاني جس سےايک افسانہ رنگيں ہے جواني جس سے
By which this ephemeral universe becomes eternal | By which youth becomes a colorful tale
جو سکھاتا ہے ہميں سر بہ گريباں ہونامنظر عالم حاضر سے گريزاں ہونا
Which teaches us to be meditating | To be escaping the present state's scene
دور ہو جاتي ہے ادراک کي خامي جس سےعقل کرتي ہے تاثر کي غلامي جس سے
Which removes the immaturity of perceptions | Which makes Intellect a slave to impressions
آہ! موجود بھي وہ حسن کہيں ہے کہ نہيںخاتم دہر ميں يا رب وہ نگيں ہے کہ نہيں
Ah! Does that Beauty exist anywhere or not? O Lord! Does that jewel exist on the universe' ring?
