She does not know lawful from unlawful, her wisdom is immature and all her activities defective.
(Iqbal quotes in Bal-i Jibril Rumi’s verse: True knowledge is born of lawful food, love and compassion are born of lawful food.)
Translated by Jamil Naqvi
Urdu translation
وہ حلال و حرام میں امتیاز نہیں کرتا ، اس کا فلسفہ خام ہے اور اس کا کام نامکمل۔
