khīñcho na kamānoñ ko na talvār nikālo
jab top muqābil ho to aḳhbār nikālo
neither bow and arrow nor a sword do you require
pubish a newspaper when faced with cannon fire
khincho na kamanon ko na talwar nikalo
jab top muqabil ho to aKHbar nikalo
neither bow and arrow nor a sword do you require
pubish a newspaper when faced with cannon fire
