Dekha Huun Tujhe Khvab Men Ai Maya-e-khubi — Wali Dakhani

देखा हूँ तुझे ख़्वाब में ऐ माया-ए-ख़ूबी इस ख़्वाब को जा यूसुफ़-ए-कनआँ सूँ कहूँगा
— Wali Dakhani

Meaning

O embodiment of beauty, I have seen you in a dream; I will go and narrate this dream to Joseph of Canaan himself.

Explanation

In poetic tradition, Prophet Joseph (Yusuf) of Canaan represents the pinnacle of beauty and the ultimate interpreter of dreams. Here, the lover playfully boasts that after seeing his beloved’s sublime grace in a dream, he will take this vision to Joseph himself. It is a charming compliment: suggesting that the beloved’s beauty is so miraculous that only the archetype of beauty himself is worthy of hearing about it and understanding its majesty.
