پہاڑ يہ کہتا تھا اک گلہري سے
Aik Pehri aur Aik Gulehri A mountain was saying this to a squirrel(A Mountain and A Squirrel) "Commit suicide if you have self-respect You are insignificant, still so arrogant, how strange! You are neither wise, nor intelligent! not even shrewd! It is strange when the insignificant pose as important! When the stupid ones like you pose as intelligent! You are no match in comparison with my splendor Even the earth is low compared with my splendor The grandeur of mine does not fall to your lot The poor animal cannot equal the great mountain!" On hearing this the squirrel said, "Hold your tongue! These are immature thoughts, expel them from your heart! I do not care if I am not large like you! You are not a pretty little thing like me Everything shows the Omni-potence of God Some large, some small, is the wisdom of God He has created you large in the world And He has taught me climbing large trees You are unable to walk a single step Only large size! What other greatness have you? If you are large show me some of the skills I have Show me how you break this beetle nut as I can Nothing is useless in this world Nothing is bad in God's creation Add a Comment Add a Comment <<Home |
