(Zarb-e-Kaleem-184) Mashriq-o-Maghrib

Mashriq-o-Maghrib
The East And The West

Yahan Marz Ka Sabab Hai Ghulami-o-Taqleed
Wahan Marz Ka Sabab Hai Nizam-e-Jumhoori

Slavery, slavishness, the root of our
Disease; of theirs, that Demon holds all power;

Na Mashriq Iss Se Bari Hai, Na Maghrib Iss Se Bari
Jahan Mein Aam Hai Qalb-o-Nazar Ki Ranjoori

Heart‐malady or brain‐malady has oppressed
Man’s whole world, sparing neither East nor West.
