نگاہ

نگاہ ہو تو بہائے نظارہ کچھ بھی نہیںکہ بیچتی نہیں فطرت جمال و زیبائی

English translation

One must have eyes to see these sights which vie with each in bloom and grace; for Nature is not wont to sell the charm appearing on her face.
(Written in Riaz Manzil, Bhopal residence of Sir Rass Masood.)

Translated by Syed Akbar Ali Shah
