مذہب غلامان

دین و دانش را غلام ارزان دہدتا بدن را زندہ دارد جان دہد

English translation

Slave under-values both religion and wisdom; he gives away his soul to keep his body alive.

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

غلام دین و دانش کو سستا بیچ دیتا ہے ، بدن کو زندہ رکھنے کے لیے جان فروخت کر دیتا ہے ۔
