انسان اور بزم قدرت

گل و گلزار ترے خلد کی تصویریں ہیںیہ سبھی سورہء 'والشمس' کی تفسیریں ہیں

English translation

Your roses and rose gardens are pictures of Paradise; all these are the commentaries of Surah ‘Wa al-Shams’*
* This is an early Makkan Surah. It shows the beauties of Nature and brings home to Man the need for realizing his spiritual responsibilities. It ends with a stern warning to those who do not heed the teachings of the Holy Qur’an about the Hereafter.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
