ز فہم دون نہادان گرچہ دور استولی این نکتہ را گفتن ضرور است
E’en though ‘tis far afield from the comprehension Of the abject ones; But this point must surely be told:
بہ این نو زادہ ابلیسان نسازدگنہگاری کہ طبع او غیور است
“With these new‐born Satans doth not contend, “The sinner who hath a nature proud.”
