کارل مارکس کي آواز
English title: THE VOICE OF KARL MARX
يہ علم و حکمت کي مہرہ بازي ، يہ بحث و تکرار کي نمائشنہيں ہے دنيا کو اب گوارا پرانے افکار کي نمائش
Your chessmatch of research and erudition—Your comedy of debate and disputation!— | The world has no more patience left to watch, This comedy of threadbare speculation.
تري کتابوں ميں اے حکيم معاش رکھا ہي کيا ہے آخرخطوط خم دار کي نمائش ، مريز و کج دار کي نمائش
O wise economist, the books you write are quite devoid of useful aim: They have twisted lines with orders strange no warmth for labour, though they claim.
جہان مغرب کے بت کدوں ميں ، کليسياؤں ميں ، مدرسوں ميںہوس کي خون ريزياں چھپاتي ہے عقل عيار کي نمائش
In the idolatrous shrines of the Occident, Its pulpits and its seats of education, | Greed and its murderous crimes are masked under, Your knavish comedy of cerebration.
