Tumhein Mere KHayal Ki Musawwiri Qubul Ho

Salam Machhli Shahri

tumhen mire ḳhayal ki musavviri qubul ho

jadid-tar faza-e-alf-lailavi qubul ho

haqiqaton ki talḳhiyon ke mas.ale kuchh aur hain

magar ḳhayal-o-ḳhvab ki ye sha.iri qubul ho

tumhara jism ma.abad-e-tasavvur-e-nashat hai

mufakkir-e-bahar ki ye bandagi qubul ho

ba-vasf-e-ilm-o-fan jinhen kabhi sukun na mil saka

bahut hai gar unhen nashat-e-arzi qubul ho

hayat ḳhud miri hi fikr ka hasin tilism hai

agar jahan ko bhi ye sehr-e-samri qubul ho

tumhare husn ke tufail ḳhizr-e-shahr-e-raz ko bhi

‘salam’ aise sha.iron ki kaj-ravi qubul ho
