حکيم نطشہ
English title: NIETZSCHE
حريف نکتہ توحيد ہو سکا نہ حکيمنگاہ چاہيے اسرار 'لا الہ' کے ليے
The subtle point that God is one, the German sage could not perceive clear sight and mind are both a must, so that this point one may conceive.
خدنگ سينہ گردوں ہے اس کا فکر بلندکمند اس کا تخيل ہے مہرو مہ کے ليے
The flights of fancy, like a dart, can hit the dome of azure sky. He casts his noose on moon and sun that seem so far above and high.
اگرچہ پاک ہے طينت ميں راہبي اس کيترس رہي ہے مگر لذت گنہ کے ليے
Although his natural bent of mind from stains and blemish is quite free his soul this dormant fact betrays, he yearns for life replete with spree.
