(Zarb-e-Kaleem-105)
Aurat Ki Hifazat
Ek Zinda Haqiqat Mere Seene Mein Hai Mastoor
Kya Samjhe Ga Woh Jis Ki Ragon Mein Hai Lahoo Sard
A fact alive is in my breast concealed,
He can behold whose blood is not congealed.
Ne Parda, Na Taleem, Nayi Ho Ke Purani
Niswaniyat-e-Zan Ka Nigheban Hai Faqt Mard
To wear a veil and learn new lore or old,
Canʹt guard fair sex except a person bold.
Jis Qoum Ne Iss Zinda Haqiqat Ko Na Paya
Uss Qoum Ka Khursheed Bohat Jald Huwa Zard
A nation which canʹt see this truth divine,
Pale grows its son and soon begins decline.
