কল্পিত আমার শাস্ত্র,-আমি সব জানি ।
জাতি-অনুরোধে তবু সেই শাস্ত্র মানি ॥ ১৭০ ॥
kalpita amara sastra,-ami saba jani
jati-anurodhe tabu sei sastra mani
kalpita-imagined; amara-our; sastra-scripture; ami-I; saba-everything; jani-know; jati-by community; anurodhe-being obliged; tabu-still; sei-that; sastra-scripture; mani-I accept.
"I know that our scriptures are full of imagination and mistaken ideas, yet because I am a Mohammedan I accept them for the sake of my community, despite their insufficient support.
