Transliteration

nāháṃ tántuṃ na ví jānā́mi yótuṃ na yáṃ váyanti sam-are átamānāḥ | kásya svít putrá ihá vaktvā́ni paró vadā́ty ávareṇa pitrā́ ||

Translation

میں ابھی تک دھاگا نہیں جانتا، نہ بنائی کو واضح طور پر, نہ وہ جسے پکے کارکن مشترکہ جدوجہد میں بنتے ہیں۔ یہاں کس کا بیٹا یہ باتیں کہہ سکتا ہے، جہاں دور کی سچائی قریب کے باپ کے سہارے سے بیان ہوتی ہے؟
