انقلاب
English title: REVOLUTION
نہ ايشيا ميں نہ يورپ ميں سوز و ساز حياتخودي کي موت ہے يہ ، اور وہ ضمير کي موت
دلوں ميں ولولہ انقلاب ہے پيدا!قريب آگئي شايد جہان پير کي موت
The hearts of both the East and West of zeal and zest are quite bereft: One means the death of Self and soul, other decease of conscience whole. A fervour great is in their hearts, they wait, when some convulsion starts; perhaps, this cosmos old and sear is in throes, its death quite near.
