نگاہ تو عتاب آلود تا چند
English title: How long shall you gaze with a wrathful stare?
نگاہ تو عتاب آلود تا چندبتان حاضر و موجود تا چند
How long you look so wrathfully at me? how long those idols of now and here?
کب تک آپ کی نگاہ غضب آلود رہے گی ۔ کب تک حاضر اور موجود کے بت موجود رہیں گے ۔
درین بتخانہ اولاد براہیمنمک پروردۂ نمرود تا چند
how long the progeny of Abraham be faithful to Nimrod’s association in this idol temple?
دنیا کے اس بت کدہ میں کب تک حضرت ابراہیم کی اولاد نمرود کی غلامی کرتی رہے گی ۔
