Jumhooriat
Democracy
Iss Raaz Ko Ek Mard-e-Farangi* Ne Kiya Fash
Har Chand Ke Dana Isse Khila Nahin Karte
A certain European* revealed a secret,
Although the wise do not reveal the core of the matter.
Jumhooriat Ek Tarz-e-Hukumat Hai Ke Jis Mein
Bandon Ko Gina Karte Hain, Tola Nahin Karte!
Democracy is a certain form of government in which
Men are counted but not weighed.

ReplyDeleteIqbal once admitted that he was kashmiri pandit. His forefathers were kashmiri pandit later converted to islam. But still iqbal loved islam more than anything, he went to Pakistan after partition because he felt there islam would prosper. And he was staunch supporter of that. Wheras India was a secular state & they didn't give importance to any religion.
ReplyDeleteDemocracy is nt the solution of Pakistan's problems.
