در معنی اینکہ بقای نوع از امومت است و حفظ و احترام امومت اسلام است
این گل از بستان ما نارستہ بہداغش از دامان ملت شستہ بہ
English translation
Better it were this rose had never grown within our garden, better were her brand washed from the skirt of the community.
Urdu translation
اس قسم کا پھول ہمارے باغ میں نہ ہی کھلے تو بہتر ہے؛ ایسی عورت دامان ملّت پر داغ ہے جسے دھو دینا چاہئیے۔
