در معنی اینکہ افلاطون
بسکہ از ذوق عمل محروم بودجان او وارفتہ ی معدوم بود
English translation
Since he was without any taste for action; his soul was enraptured by the nonexistent.
Translated by Reynold A. Nicholson
Urdu translation
چونکہ وہ ذوق عمل سے محروم تھا اس لیے اس کی جان عدم کی والہ و شیدا تھی۔
