TO DAUGHTERS OF THE NATION
Chapter 12

Learn O’ daughterling this loveliness trend,
To Muslim suits not the heathen’s blend.
You need not a beauty of rouge and scent,
With the chaste eyes teach thy charming bent.¹

1.         Iqbal has used “Gharat Gari” again in line 4 which means “robbery”. In amatory language of this sub-continent and Persia, it means loveliness.
