شیوۂ تہذیب نو آدم دری استپردۂ آدم دری سوداگری است

English translation

The way of the new culture is to murder people; and this killing is done under the garb of commerce.
(Iqbal says: Believe me, Europe to-day is the greatest hindrance in the way of man’s ethical advancement (Reconstruction, p. 179). The reason for this, according to him, is that European culture is divorced from the spiritual basis of life, what he callsnur-i haqq here. A few lines earlier, he says in the same lecture: Humanity needs three things to-day-a spiritual interpretation of the universe, spiritual emancipation of the individual and basic principles of a universal import directing the evolution of human society on a spiritual basis.)
