حرفی چند با امت عربیہ

حریت پروردۂ آغوش اوستیعنی امروز امم از دوش اوست

English translation

Freedom (as a concept) developed under his care, that is, the ‘today’ of the peoples is from his ‘yesterday’.
(The concept of freedom (hurriyat) that is looked upon as a contribution of Western thought was in reality given a concrete shape at the hands of the Prophet (S.A.W.). In Asrar-o Rumuz, Allamah says: Freedom was born out of his holy heart; his vineyard flowed with that delightful wine. The world’s new age, its hundred lamps ablaze; opened its eyes upon his loving breast.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

آپ (صلعم) کی آغوش میں آزادی نے پرورش پائی، امّتوں کا آج آنحضرت (صلعم) کے دور گذشتہ کا مرہون منت ہے۔
