عبدالقادر کے نام

ایک فریاد ہے مانند سپند اپنی بساطاسی ہنگامے سے محفل تہ و بالا کر دیں

English translation

Our capacity is only a cry of lament like the wild rue.* We should overturn the assemblage with this same uproar.
(Sipand or Wild Rue: The property of the rue seed of cracking and jumping when put in fire is referred to here as an expression of distress and lament as well as the restlessness produced by them.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
