ھگل

حکمتش معقول و با محسوس در خلوت نرفتگرچہ بکر فکر او پیرایہ پوشد چون عروسطایر عقل فلک پرواز او دانی کہ چیست؟"ماکیان کز زور مستی خایہ گیرد بی خروس"

English translation

His thought is fully rational and unrelated to the sensuous, although his ideas are decked out in the garb of brides.
Do you know what kind of a bird is his high-soaring thought? It is a hen which through excess of heat conceives without a mate.

Translated by M. Hadi Husain

Urdu translation

اس کا فلسفہ معقول ہے لیکن وہ محسوسات کی تہ تک نہیں پہنچ سکا، اگرچہ اس کے فکر نو نے عروس کا سا لباس پہنا ہوا ہے۔
