خیالم کو گل از فردوس چیند
English title: When my imagination, which culls flowers
خیالم کو گل از فردوس چیندچو مضمون غریبی آفریند
My imagination, which gathers flowers from paradise —
When it births a new theme, a novel guise,
میرا تخیل جو بہشت سے پھول چنتا ہے —
جب وہ کوئی نیا مضمون پیدا کرتا ہے۔
دلم در سینہ می لرزد چو برگیکہ بر وی قطرۂ شبنم نشیند
My heart within my chest begins to quiver with glee —
Like a petal trembling with a drop of dew, set free.
تو سینے میں میرا دل اس پھول کی پتی کی طرح خوشی سے لرزنے لگتا ہے —
جس پر شبنم کا قطرہ ٹپک پڑا ہو۔
