حکمت مغرب سے ملت کی یہ کیفیت ہوئیٹکڑے ٹکڑے جس طرح سونے کو کر دیتا ہے گاز

English translation

The politics of the West has reduced the nation such as gold is rendered to pieces by scissors.*
(Reference to the division of the Muslim world into a large number of secular nation states after World War I. However, our misfortune is that, in spite of the efforts of `Allamah Iqbal and a large number of other reformers all over the Muslim world, the trend towards fragmentation of theUmmah is continuing un-abated.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
