آزادی افکار سے ہے ان کی تباہیرکھتے نہیں جو فکر و تدبر کا سلیقہ
Azadi-e-Afkar Se Hai Un Ki TabahiRakhte Nahin Jo Fikr-o-Tadabbur Ka Saliqa
Free thinking can bring ʹbout the ruin, Of those whose thoughts are low and mean:They donʹt possess the mode and style, Of though that may be chaste and clean.
ہو فکر اگر خام تو آزادی افکارانسان کو حیوان بنانے کا طریقہ!
Ho Fikr Agar Khaam To Azadi-e-AfkarInsan Ko Hewaan Banane Ka Tareeqa !
If thoughts are raw and immature, No good accrues to man in least:The utmost that such thoughts can do, Is change of wan to state of beast.
