در اسرار شریعت

آہ یورپ زین مقام آگاہ نیستچشم او "ینظر بنور اﷲ" نیست

English translation

Alas! Europe is not aware of this principle, her eyes do not see through God’s light;
(Reference is to the famous tradition of the Prophet (PBUH): Fear the sagacity of the believer, for he sees through the light of God.)

Translated by Jamil Naqvi

Urdu translation

افسوس یورپ اس مقام سے آگاہی نہیں رکھتا، اس کی آنکھ اللہ تعالے کے نور سےنہیں دیکھتی۔
