زمانہ
جہان نو ہو رہا ہے پیدا، وہ عالم پیر مر رہا ہےجسے فرنگی مقامروں نے بنا دیا ہے قمار خانہ
English translation
But now a new world is being born, while this old one sinks out of sight of men, this world the gamblers of Europe turned into nothing else than a gambling-den.
Translated by V.G. Kiernan
