مصوری

فکر او نادار و بی ذوق ستیزبانگ اسرافیل او بی رستخیز

English translation

His thinking is hollow (lacks depth) and has no desire for struggle; his voice cannot bring about any resurrection.

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

اس کا فکر تہی دامن اور جدوجہد کے ذوق کے بغیر ہے، اس کی آواز صور سے قیامت برپا نہیں ہوتی ۔
