(Zarb-e-Kaleem-169) Jumhooriat
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.
*Astan Dal
*Stendhal.
