(Bal-e-Jibril-181) Azadi-e-Afkar

Azadi-e-Afkar
Freedom Of Thought

Jo Dooni Fitrat Se Nahin Laik-e-Parwaz
Uss Murghak-e-Bechara Ka Anjaam Hai Uftaad

Falling down is the destiny of that bird
Whose duality of nature renders him unable to fly.

Har Seena Naheman Nahin Jibreel-e-Ameen Ka
Har Fikar Nahin Tair-e-Firdous Ka Sayyad

Not every heart is an abode to the trusty Gabriel,
Nor can every thought ensnare the Paradise like a bird.

Uss Qoum Mein Hai Shoukhi-e-Andesha Khatarnak
Jis Qoum Ke Afraad Hon Har Band Se Azad

The ecstasy of thought is dangerous in a nation
Where the individuals observe no rule.

Go Fikar-e-Khudad Se Roshan Hai Zamana
Azadi-e-Afkar Hai Iblees Ki Aejaad

Though God‐gifted intellect is the lamp of an age,
The freedom of thought is a Satanic concept.
